Every country has a rural economy poor or lacking infrastructure area. These areas are usually secluded from big cities and receive little attention from the government. As a result that area will be out of date in technology; literacy rate is lower in the surrounding cities and suburbs and with more health problems. However with these disadvantages, the people living in these villages are still happy. On of the villages I have visited was in South India on the border of Karnataka and Andrapradesh.

A Day in the Village

KCA- Poetry Third Place

The little boy wakes up in the morning by the sound of

bells ringing and dishes being washed.

The vegetable seller gets his cart ready for his regular walk

through the village to sell his produce.

The early noise of people opening their shops and windows alarms

the village that it is time to wake up for another day.

Village is My Home

They say villages are dirty and rural

And depleted and poor

Not to mention lowly and worthless

Along with homes without doors!

Now it may not mean much to you

But, let me tell you a thing or two

About the villages of India, and the things that they do

Village Life in Karnataka

I visited India this summer for two months and I got to go to my grandparents’ city and some villages where my great grandmother lived and couple of other villages. In those villages I saw people making rice in clay pots. In that village I got to play with house cats, calves and chicks. All the houses had rangoli in the front. They put flowers every morning at the front door. The roads in those villages were small and were made of big stones. There was a drinking water well in front of the house.

People were very friendly. I got to drink fresh milk from home cows. I got to see paddy field and sugarcane field. I got so see coconut trees and drink tender coconut water. I also went to a pomegranate and papaya field. There were also few sweet lemon and lemon trees. I got to the first tractor that was used in the farms which is still running.

In out village I saw beautiful rangoli and I got interested in learning it. I also learnt to make a string of flowers. I want to go back and visit again.
