During summer vacation we used to go to our village in madhubani district of Bihar. Those days trains were run by steam engine and heavy black smoke used to come out from it and whistle of train was also different from today's train.It used to be a journey of 24 hours approximately and we used to go by first class which was without A.C at that time.My father used to get this facility from his office only once in a year.He is very fond of eating and used to make preparation for packing namkeen,biscuit,fruit,apart from prepared food and vegetables with full arrangement of plates,glass,knife etc.So as soon as journey used to start we started eating one item or another after every half an hour or so on his insistence.
We used to by comics from stations and used to drink tea which was served in earthen pots in those days and because of that it used to smell unique.After reaching our village which has a railway station and our house is just a walking distance from station.Our Grandparents,two uncle's and aunt and cousin's used to look forward to our visit and we also were very fond of them.We had a big house in the village and it was mostly built by my fathers money and there were only two-three houses in whole village which was as big as ours.At that time roads were almost non-existent and there was no electricity and they used to have lanterns which used to get lighted bi kerosene oil.There is temple just few meters in front of our house and just alongside there was pond which is called pokher in hindi and there was lot of greenery all around.We had our own mango orchards just 100 meters in front of our house.After reaching our house the first thing is that we were asked to first clean our hands and feet and then take the blessing of our family deity ( Kuldevi ).
