Decay looks different in shades of orange.

This the time of the season when Oranges were available in abundant in the market. One can easily find them selling on the stores as well on the road side. It is quite popular during its peak season as it always taste better. I love having them as much as possible. But Oranges were not available at my native home. Being a remote areas, Oranges does not make it to that place. However instead of Oranges, *kinnow were sold in the market. Kinnow does not have the same qualities that of an Orange. Few days ago I bought 2 kgs of Oranges only to find them start rotting in no time.

Todays I noticed an unusual smell in my room, and it traces back to the polythene in which the Oranges were kept. There is a sudden spike in temperature which resulted in rotting of one of them. The rotting Orange bearded an unusual look. It get coated with a thin white layer of fungus and get pulpy from the same side.

Oranges, when stored in a closed plastic bag, which leads to mold. And in absence of any refrigerator at my accommodation, I kept in the plastic bag, which leads it to rotting quickly. There was not enough damages, I quickly remove the rotten piece and before throwing them into dustbin, thought a moment to get up and close with the #fungus.

By that time I took it outside, it already started to discharge some fluid. An indication that it is no longer good to eat. I put rest of the Oranges out of plastic to enjoy the juicy tangy taste.

In good faith - Peace!!
