Strange fruit

Was at the Southern Railway headquarters a few days ago when I saw this. The palm itself has been part bonsai-ed, but certainly didn't expect it to be used as a newspaper stand - and the paper is not a local daily, but one in Malayalam from the neighbouring state of Kerala!

Oh, yes - happy Onam, everyone!

I want to call it innovative. unfortunately not the way to treat a tree/plant. Sometimes it makes you wonder what people were thinking.

Good catch and appropriate title - interesting...

@ Uvaraj: At least this one is better cared-for than most... thanks!

@ Arabesque: Thanks! Maybe he was dozing under the tree and forgot to pick up the newspaper after he woke up?
