Living the Village style

The village style is kinda freaky .In the morning you get up with some of the natural bugs crawling on the bed .If you a sleep lover then its worse for you cause there is a hell of chances that the electricity may be off and if it does then you will be stuck in big dilemma ,either to put the blanket and sleep with out the bugs passing your ears and irritating you but the hitch here is that you will be burnt of heat or the second option is to stay open on the bed , stay a bit cool and let the bugs rule your night . This is cause you cant have your fans switched on.

After passing this phase , we go to the breakfast where we get nothing else except the regular food ,the same thing made again and again . After that, passing time is fun only if you have company or else you will be stuck with grandma's and grandpa's who keep talking talking talking .Its fun sometimes but gets boring afterwards . The Television also wont work cause either the electricity will be off or there's only free channels that come ,its cause in rural areas how do u get tv.The water is also kinda freaky . Its the well water and you cant say anything but just trust people that its good .


Moving on to the afternoons the lunch also will be normal and its a bit okay by now , the weather fine , all people sleeping and you cant sit in calmness read some books,magazines etc . And the normal school get over by about 4.30 adn everyone comes home by bus and mostly walking or cycling back home.After this its quite fun cause we get some one of your age and you can play talk about the days happenings or play so games and quitely pass time that way .By now it'll be at about 6.30 or so.And then there wil television on for which only one channel comes and the same boring serials . Well time passes quickly and it'll dark and you'll find various bugs scaring irrtating and flying all round .Then after all the talking and bla bla the next program of the day is dinner .Well this is almost the same as the lunch with a little extras in it . Dinner is preety good with extra's especially all the oily stuff added like pappad and so . And after the beautifull dinner ,its time to sleep . Before sleeping if there's a habit of reading on the bed then it wont work ,cause you see the irritation and scary bugs may go to the extent of killing you even if they dont mean to . Well this is how a normal day passes for visitors from developed places .If you have any opinions please do comment , I would be glad to know .

Hey, you didn't try it yourself! There are quite a few interesting things as well, like you'd never hear the traffic screech into your ears, you dont have autorickshaw guys conning you out of your wits, far from competition! The bugs certainly will befriend you provided you do the same. Talking about regular food, we'd be glad to know what you consider irregular or rather interesting
