Belonging from a farmer family background, it gets important for me to keep an eye on our farming. It is the farming season in India, and most of the farmer's were busy in looking after the crops. Though I am not directly involved into farming this year, but I made sure my farmland does not remain barren. I leased it to someone on a 50 % sharing. But it is importsnt to keep a check on the fields to avoid any wrong doing. This morning I went out to check the same in one of the farthest fields situated in midst of jungle.
My village is a peacefull place, especially the outer skirts which is majorly covered with forest and also our farming lands. The fields that I am visiting today is one which is centered around rhe forest. There is a river nearby, and covered with forest from all side. There were few other fields too that belongs to my relative. I always like to visit this field, mostly as it is covered with greenary. Having a cloudy morning, I took my scooty and went out for the walk. I am not taking the scooty near the field, as the path to field is not suitable for riding.
I parked my scooty in the main road, and walkd towards my field. The best part is that, I have not to worry for my two wheeler as nothing could happen to it in the village. Unlike in cities where there is a risk towing on wrong parking or being stolen if not given due care. I moved straight towards the field area which passes through the deserted and uneven fields.
The mountain on the farthest side are the attraction of my village. Anybody like to trek on it, I did it too during my childhood. But not anymore as it is very risky due to many dangerous reptiles and scorpions. You can easily trek, only if you take along a local person who can assure the safety. Walking towards the field is not easy, as the soil gets very slippery, due to rainfall. I have to take each step carefully to prevent any mishappening.
The walk is not easy, as the damp field literally made tye move very uneasy. There were water flowing from direction. The over night rain has filled the entire area. So I made sure to walk carefully through edges. I crossed few trances to reach to my fields.
After walking good over 20 min, with all the precaution. I reached near to my field. The sight of growing crop in the field is alwsys a happy moment and I am not different. I felt quite happy finding that the sowing has already been done.
There was a time in my life, when I used tolool for an excuse to to ho away the stressful city life. I used go to short trip in a hill station or look for some greenary during the weekend. The chaotic city lifestyle alwsys ask for refreshing days and these can be possible only in the hills. But ever since I shifted to my village I do not need to find any such places. I alwsys prefer to go out on a short walk either towards the forest and these days to my fields. It is alwsy refreshing to see green covered all over the place. Sometime, it do feel proud to have such a beautiful place. It is indeed a scenic beauty set up nowhere, which people are not aware of.
The surrounding is very calm and peaceful. I always like the serenity atmosphere. I can easily spent long hours sitting alone in such calmness. There were nobody around. Except the jungle, the tress and chirping of few birds. It was so blissfully. After cherishing the calm atmosphere, I took a look of the crops in my field. It was well planted and the field has adequate water for it. The crops were growing nicely. The greeness is the proof that sowing was done nicely.
This time of the year is all about farming in my village. Apart from my field all the adjoining fields were too sowed. Nature's beauty in every corner of the farm. The farm is where I find tranquility and inspiration. Embracing the farm life and letting our worries fade away.
In good faith - Peace!!
