Bajra Threshing Machine This is a thresher machine standing outside of our house's front door. This is the season of Bajra (millet) harvesting and processing time. So there are many thresher machines came to our village to get hired. These threshers get tagged by a tractor and also function by it as well. The people who owns these machines and who work for them all sits on the tractors or some place around in the mean time while they get hired by someone.Usually these machines are gather at the entry point of village where they wait for getting hired. But some of these come into the village and park their tractor and machine in front of anyone's house where they find extra space to pass another vehicle. For the few days I was noticing that they park their vehicle at front of our main door and 3 to 4 men sits on the tractor while waiting for getting hired. Once in the evening, I noticed lots of garbage like biri, gutka spits and lots of littering. But they wasn't there that ...

A Woman who attempted suicide You see that woman, she attempted suicide in front of me by walking in the middle of road. It was around 10am and I was going to office. This happened nearby Honda chowk on Alwar Bhiwadi main highway, at the road inside the Khushkhera industrial area. This women was coming towards me by walking in middle of road. I saved her by taking left to her. Since I saw her doing this, I was afraid and stopped further by side of the road where two men already there and were watching her to do that. I asked them that, is she related to her, they denied and told me that she is talking someone on her phone while walking on the middle of road. They were just smiling and discussing to report this in nearby police station but not doing anything, just watching her to attempting again. I turned my scooter towards her for stopping her not to attempt suicide. And those men also followed me. Those men started capturing video of her while she was walking on the road and there wa...

Prerna is sad about these specs She is sad, but when I said her to smile for a picture, this is the best she can done. Yes, I'm laughing now for seeing such cute face. But she was sad for not letting her cut open these paper glasses from a sheet. There was a paper sheet where these glasses were framed out for filling colors in and cut it off. After coloring, I was cutting it off by myself and Prerna was trying to do it also by herself. And I said to her that Beta, you could tear it down. It could go waste so let me do it for you. It made her sad, when I asked her for a photo and smile, this is how she expressed her sadness behind this little smile. After that It made me think that what I done, I made her sad. I destroyed her curiosity and true happiness. I shouldn't have done this instead I should let her do that by herself. A small thought Sometimes we try to help our kids without realizing that they don't need our help that time. They just want to do the things by themsel...

A Temple on a Cart This mini temple carried by four bhagwadhari people (dressed in Saffron) into our street today. One of them was pulling this temple door to door and others are asking for some donation like new women clothes and money in the name of this cart temple. I just came from Gym that time and I waited at my doorstep for them. Once they arrived at our doorstep, I clicked this picture. They were asking the same like some money, but I signaled with my hand to move forward. Do you the see the man in the picture, does he look like a saint? No, just observe the look on his face. And there were others having the same face readings. I'm not judging them via face-readings. My point is that, anyone can create a little temple on wheels and can visit door to door for money or donation by wearing saffron dresses. Now the gods are only used for business or earning money in name of them. Isn't it insult of our gods? I don't know why people understand every saffron dress wearer ...

Prerna is playing with clay pot pieces I like this picture very much. It was taken by me in the morning just after my daughter woke up and we went to the roof for playing with these broken pieces of clay pot. We used to crush them and make a powder to mix with water and called it "Dawai, Dai, A Medicine". Yes it sounds funny. I like to play this game with daughter as it involves sand, dirt etc. It's kind of good for kids and their immunity. Heard somewhere that kids should play with sand to a good growth. In her school there is also a artificial sand pot for kids to play with. I found it also good for connecting with her. Prerna crush them with a stone or rub it on the roof. After that we mix water and let it settle or dry into the sunlight. I found it also creative for such nursery kids that helps in being creative or curious. Prerna grinding clay pot pieces A small thought What I like about this game is that there is no expensive toy involved or following any instructio...

A flock of Sheep You see the herd of sheep walking on road, this is the main way to my home in my village. A hundred of sheep came in front of me and blocked the whole road. Vehicles from both side were unable to move. I waited her for approx 10 minutes, then I could move from here. I'm posting this for pointing out one thing that why the roads and streets in India allow moving such flock of animals like sheep, goat, cow etc freely. It blocks the whole transport system and having chances of  major accidents. Sometime, when it's cows, they can hit a car, bike or the rider, and can cause serious injury. Then who will be the responsible for that. However this is not a big road, this is small road inside my village. But my concern is for all roads whether it's a small or big. I'm talking about the safety of people and animals both. So whats's the solution here, that the traffic can easily move. This is what can be done The government can't make separate road for the...

This is called a Goga Peer ki Chhadi carrying by few people travelling place to place for asking donation in form of oil, ghee, clothes or may be money. In this group, there is a person who sings devotional bhajans and another person play little musical instruments. They visited our village few days back Independence day. My wife told me that these people come every year and ask for donation in such musical way by visiting home to home in the village. When these people near our house, we were in our bedroom at first floor. We were playing with our daughter that time, and they stopped at main door.
