My work allows me to travel a lot to small towns in India and for a city slicker like me it is joy to discover my country is immense. In my childhood I used to travel a lot with Mom and Dad as his job as a mechanical engineer would take us to remote power houses of India. This actually was christening to see and experience real India up close and personal.
So when my work now takes me across the length and breadth of the country I am always 'at - home'. The place I travel to is a rail-head called Katihar at the border of Bihar, West Bengal and Nepal.
The scenery is serene and beautiful. Although the people are poor and regular amenities such as electricity is scarce the bounty of nature makes it always a pleasurable journey.
The sleepy hamlets of Harishchandrapur, Kumredpur, Labha, Kuretha enchants me before I hit the hustle and bustle of Katihar.
The sleepy villages always gets me tempted to get down and explore, then reality check gets the better of me and I head straight to the destination! LOL!
During the winter months these beauties are shrouded in mist and mystery, cannot capture the wonderment of those moments from my phone camera so you have just got to pressurise your brain and get the picture.
My Indian villages are unbeatable in their scenic wonder. They are no less beautiful than the famed English country side I believe. They are the real gems in our crown, way, way more beautiful than the jewels that sit on the English crown of the Queen and the King, not to forget the bit exhibited in the Tower of London. They needed a boy king who could be hood winked to give them the precious Kohinoor!
Here is the first kadam of the season people...spring is indeed in the air!
