Just as we gradually get out of the Lockdown of 2021 following the second wave.. a brief get away..
25 few kms away , My friend , Dr S and I arrive at Chittanda ,a hamlet of rice fields and a beautiful Kathyayini temple. Dr S owns a piece of land here which she is converting to a vegetable patch with the help of a local farmer . The land is now all cleaned and primed for the farming and we have the happy task of planting fruit tress in the fringes and see the sprouting in the various patches. The land over looks a vast expanse of paddy fields and the sky stretching every where beyond the hills...
The quiet of the area is soothing .. just the rustle of the wind ..darkening clouds announcing rain .. egrets and king fishers pecking at the soil and snooping over the temple pond . and a flock of ducks finding their way back to the water.. mom led by a few tiny ones ...
So happy to be soaking in so much beauty ...
