Village Life.

In my last blog i told you that we reached our village in summer vacation.In village people wake up quite early in the morning around 5a.m and since our house is facing east sun light come directly to our house.Early in the morning farmers used to take their bullocks to the field with bells ringing from their necks and their mouth capped with cap made of thin wooden bamboo.There we get to feel unique smell of smoke coming out from burning wood which was used to light earthen stove ( chulha ) and some of the utencils used for making food & vegetables were also made of earth.Apart from smell of smoke there was another smell of cow dung which was used to clean the earthen courtyard because it is considered that cow dung makes the house pure and kill harmful insects and bacteria's.
In breakfast my favourite food was thick bread made of rice flour dough and we used to eat it with onion,pickle and salt and till today whenever i go to my village i eat this very dish.Another popular dish of breakfast in our area is chudwa ( made of rice) with curd and sugar.As i told you that we had a pond near our house so we along with our cousins used to bath in it.We didn't knew how to swim so we used to take bath just in the corner of pond where the water level was quite low but my cousins used to swim quite fast and they used to go deep inside the pond and they also used to backstroke swimming and we kept wondering that how they can do it.One of cousin used to remain underwater and came out in another corner of the pond to our utter surprise.
