narrating an experience to the village
Answers
Explanation:
I once went to a village named Sohana. My grandparents live there, and we had gone to visit them. We first had a long ride by bus. From there we took a tonga to the village. There was no road, only a wide mud path.
Sohana is a small village. All the houses were made of mud. There were one or two brick buildings-one for the post office and another for the local health center. My grandfather is the village head. His house was also cemented.
There was not a single road in the village. Some of the streets were very muddy and wet. There were hens, goats and buffaloes roaming around everywhere.
I could not see any men on the streets. I asked my father and he told me that all the men worked on the fields the whole day.
I saw some boys and girls studying beneath a shady tree. I was surprised to know that it was the school. I thought of the grand building of my own school back home, and realised how lucky i was.
My grandparents welcomed us warmly into their home. They hugged me so often that I thought my bones would break. My grandfather had prepared many tasty dishes for us. Many people from the nearby houses cane to see’the
people from the city’. I left very shy when they touched my clothes and my watch in wonder.
In the evening we went for a walk in the fields.
The green mustard plants with their yellow flowers were growing everywhere. A soft breeze was blowing. I felt I had come to paradise. The dust and noise of the city seemed far away. I shall never forget my visit to my village.
Answer:
Here is a short journey to a very remote village situated at the heart of Nainital. It comes under Bhetalghat mandal. I
believe, this story would bring some light on the villages where people still commutes by foot on a road with steep bends for 7 KM.
Phase 1: Haldwani > Bhimatal > Bhowali > Kanchi Dham > Garampani > Kharana
I started my journey at 10:00 AM from Haldwani on a sunny day via KMOU LTD bus available regularly from Bus stand. As state transport bus are rarely seen to Almora\Ranikhet , hence commuters has to either rely on KMOU LTD buses or shed heavy bucks on taxis. It took 2 and 30 mints to reach the ‘Kharana’, in between there are many places : bhimtal lake, cloudy bhowali and Kanchi dham. Usually bus stops at ‘Kharana pul (bridge)’. Once reached, I took Coke and bread pokaras from famous ‘Rabbu’s’ shop, near to bridge.
Phase 2: Kharana > Majheda > Simalkha > Dhaniya Kot> Dhol Kot
As, there are only jeeps\cars available for further journey hence they are always crowded with 12-15 people in a ‘Marshall’ (jeep). After 1 long of waiting, driver was successful in managing 15 commuters and then started the jeep. I am amazed , how the driver manage to drive with 3 people in the front side. I prayed god on every bends , we passed. It took 30 mints to reach the Dhol Kot. There are 2-3 shops near to the stoppages. Usually people wait there for starting their journey. I had plenty of water and store 2 bottles of water with me for the journey as the next stoppage is at 3KM on a steep\rural roads with no cover of trees. I waited for 30 mints , as the sun was on a high note to start my journey. Till now, I came to know that there is no one with me to start the journey and I am alone on this challenging and tiring route. You have to keep your bag to minimum to 1 KG as it would be very hard to walk on this terrain.
There is a temple built near the passage to the village . I prayed lord to give me courage and strength to reach the village on time. It’s not safe to walk in this terrain due to inappropriate road, bends and wild animals such as bear, tiger etc.
Just 50 M from the temple, there is a huge tree which is the last shed you will have for another 2 kms. I rested there for a while and then strengthen up to start the journey.
