Safar Abhi tak ka: Day 1

Reached My Nani's place yesterday:) its been a year since i have been last here..
The road on either side to my nani's place is surrounded  by fields.. Filled with yellow colour flowers.. Sarsoo.. Not sure what they are called in English..Its a never ending boulevard with yellow colour canvas painted on both sides, dancing to the tunes of the wind, mearging in the blue clear skies.

The different hindi spoken here is quite different, mixed with haryanvi and has its own taste. But apart from that, I am so used today to use English words in my common Hindi sentences, that sometimes it makes me smile when they use words like "Saral" instead of the "Easy" i use. But its quite amusing. Its the same way I find some of the words they use amusing as they find mine.

This part of the country kinda experiences the extremes, cold is super cold and hot.. boiling!!
and its cold now here. The cold here.. Kinda different from Pune cold.. Even if u are all decked up to protect urself against it.. u won't shiver but u'll feel it up ur spine. Being a village, electricity and all are still a luxury and people are not dependent on it, they have quite interesting and innovate some or then traditional ways to work around it. I found it quite amusing in the morning to get up and heat my own water, put wood in the chamber and blow for it to catch fire.

I went to the farms and all also.. But more on that later.. the take of the day will be the smile on the faces of the people which immdiately put away the tirness of the 26hr journey.

Adios Amigos till then.. Take care..

  1. The topics are good. The perspectives are observed correctly. But, got to avoid the influence of SMS habits in sentences i.e. "..." after some sentences where a full-stop was enough. Please, read more books too.
