Journey which takes u to a place where u were born; it has to be a nostalgic - irrespective of the age/whatsoever factors there is.
I am onto that.
Reports u get, the moment I reach that place, the 'Rasalpara'.

Hello friends !
Its all the same..
New green leaves in our grand 'Peepal' tree...
'Brassica' being threshed manually by 'Kishore', underneath the tree...
'Matai', as usual being busy with rope he makes manually for cows..
'Purwa Hawa'...nice cool day.
Native 'Rasalpara' just recalls you..
With the fragrances of 'Mango', 'Azadiracta', 'Madhuca' & all that around it...
So sweet is the love..
Of motherland !!

One more day & some more character to appear, like Ramji with his unsettled outfit, unkempt hairstyle & a broken tooth. He is a pur contradiction to his wife in these things.
People seemingly wish if 'Pachhuwa Hawa' would set in, as helpful to agricultural reasons.
Its interesting that one needs 'Razai' in night even at this hour in March. Nights are quite cold, perhaps nowhere else in plains of India.
So odd it is to hear dogs barking all through the nights....

Cold nights & warmer days - blow hot & blow cold !
Usual day, Chana (Gram; Cicer arietinum) being cut. 'Horha' could be enjoyed.
"The winds....winds r blowing ! Through grove (mango), the winds r blowing !"
True to the 'Bagh' - 'Bagiya Wale Babas' !!

Sparkle clear night sky, darker phase of the moon, just suitable place for gazing heaven upward, to see the cosmos unknown, with some nice astro softy (say Stellarium), with a coffee cuppa & ofcourse mosquito coil with !!
If known, Royal Astronomical Society , Burlington House U.K. may choose this place most suitable for star-watchers !!
# You know Alok, that is a scary ghost, and such nights are just right occasion to visit that place & find him hanging on some mango branch.
My God ! We dont have lights here and everybody is fast asleep except door dogs & field jackals - barking & howling in comptetion to each. So scary are the nights......
# Alok u wont believe that at 00:00 hrs of 8th april, me & sonu went to meet a ghost in Kutiwa, who was supposed to be riding a fallen tree trunk with a tractor stand by; but failed so !?
You know that Sonu (he calls himself Sanjay, with a vision of his 3rd eye), who is an expret in these matters !
Any way, luck for another time !!

Tea-walkers (like the Zombies), early visitors, Ram Piyare to mention just one !
Amazing varieties of birds, just beside you in their full chorus !
Happiness lies so close to you....
Just listen them & forget your pain...boon for those having allergy with pain-killers like me !
And Deepika at home with the old forgotten traditional culture of grace gravity to live with all !!

Pure gold color all around in the fields !
Just a harvest time for wheat.
Sitting below mango tree ladden with green mangoes, sipping tea, an afternoon gossip topic - corruption & ...., such is a scene at Sumerpur tubewell...!!
