Visit to Country Side Village
I have a fast friend as my room-mate in the school boarding house. He hails from a village in Haryana. He had often been inviting me to his village. During this summer vacation once again he extended me an invitation. During the winter break my friend had to leave for his village early but before his departure he reminded me of my promise to visit his village.

The schools broke up on the 23rd Dec. for the winter holidays. On the 25th, I packed up my things and boarded a bus bound for the village. After a short journey of a couple of hours, I was at the bus station where I had to a light The village was about a mile away from the bus- stop; so I had to walk all this distance on foot.

I set out. It was a pleasure to walk in the natural surroundings. I could breathe fresh and pure air. The fields around were full of smiling corn-fields of wheat and gram. Here and there could be seen fields of mustard with yellow flowers waving in the breeze. All this presented a beautiful sight. There were tall trees here and there. Small birds were flying about filling the atmosphere with their chirping. There was no humdrum of city life, no sound of scooters and motor-rickshaw and motor-horns to disturb me. What a peaceful atmosphere all around!

I reached my friend's house. He gave me a warm welcome. I was served with the coarse food. There were no formalities of any kind. What a contrast to the artificialities of city life! I went to bed early and had a sound sleep.

The Village Scene. I rose up early in the morning. Having a breakfast of milk, butter and 'paranthas' we went out. It was a pleasure to see fields full of sugarcanes. At one place the villagers were preparing 'gur'. At some places the farmers were watering the fields. Persian wheels were working. Women were drawing water and humming sweet songs. Their stout healthy bodies presented a contrast to the sick faces of the women in the town.

At some distance was the village tank. There, too women were

    The thick tree lines and vast open fields bring a sense of freedom and grandeur. The brilliant light shining like beacon of hope with the soft calming breeze flowing across the field is refreshing and pure like a baby after a warm bath. The air seems to be free and clear of the city’s poisonous air pollution and the soft sounds of birds makes it all too refreshing, like a beautiful day on the beach. With quiet clean monuments and buildings dancing across the landscape, the look of peace and quiet seems to be present at last. As the blue crisp skies begin to darken across the brilliant blue pond, the shimmering light hitting the trees is as beautiful as the sun setting on the Catalina Island on a bright blue day with soft clouds flowing across the sky. I have the taste of fresh fruit on my tongue in my mouth as I take a long deep breath, and realize how much the soft green grass adds to the peacefulness in the park. I can hear the cheerful wildlife scampering beyond the tree line, like young children frolicking in their mother’s front yard. As the quiet darkness sets in, and with the city brilliant lights in the background, the serene park makes the bustling city seem peaceful once…

    As I arrived the JFK airport New York I was very delighted and speechless to explain my happiness, it took me a little late for the first time at immigration but as I departed from immigration and my father was there to pick me up in the pickup zone as I saw my father after a long period of time I was glad to meet him and speechless too as my father had changed and accommodated within the society.

    I have been awake before dawn at 0645 am all thanks to the scream therapy in the shower, I am washed by the cool air, air which seems that no one is breathing yet. I know where I am suddenly, I am part of this quiet and beautiful town and I am happy. Suddenly, the pure melancholy, first blue of morning begins. The air where one can bathe in. the electric shriek of a train, heels on sidewalks. The first birds. I am part of this town now.…

    The lack of love in the town was apparent to the reader and because of it; the town was filled with lies and scandal, and was on the verge of deterioration. "...in broad daylight looked like the most useless inlet on the desert..." The love of the town was lacking and so due to the lack of patriarchy the town had to make its living off of smuggling in concubines and other illegal things. "...village by night was the furtive wharf for smugglers' ships..." People in the town were starving and they were powerless because they thought their leaders loved them and their village, but they…

It hardly weighed anything with just my school uniform inside it and my wallet that probably contained about twenty bucks, but I had no strength to be able to carry it. I felt so defeated.

    First, when I got there I remember that I got impressed when I saw the town. It was like a desert. They live far away from the city. They don’t have TV, videogames or electronic products. But they are happy. While the parents are working, children enjoy playing with a dirty ball, jumping in the dry weak floor, hiding behind the trees and getting together at night to see the sky full of stars.…
