CONVERSATION WITH VILLAGERS

On reaching kaniyal village,i along with the group thought to converse with villagers.So i had dialogue with Kala and her neighbours, who seemed to be happy with her life .I asked them many questions such as their occupation,their daily schdule,their requirements,their way of using things.they answered all questions.Initially they were not interested or were hezitated,but as i started talking repectfully and in their way , they felt that i am not stranger insted i am like their family member.I sat down beside them and politely asked everthing like what she does everyday ,so they answered that grass cutting,cooking,feeding cows,wood cutting,pouring seeds in soil,making use of cowdung,washing utensils.She even told me that there is soil degradation due to which only few vegetables can be grown and because of this most of the vegetables are purchased.Kala showed me her house,cows and allowed me to feed her cows.she also told me that she uses technology such as television,mobilephone.She told me that her daughter got marrried at age of sixteen,so i felt sad about it but then she was leaning till the time she was not married so i was satisfied with it.She asked me about my marriage so i felt that now she got mixed up with me and was happy to talk to me.I learned that everyone search for the person like oneself,and if they get little of similar person ,they interact will and like each other and thats why she showed me her house and asked me for tea and food.I was very much succesful without having much difficulty as i interacted well with her and i learned that i am capable of talking and making a stranger a kind of friend by beinglike them such as normal person and by not showing high class or attitude.Although i lovve to be simple ,i never pretend nor i show off as i know that these are the critaria by which i can have a good relation.I felt that i was able to have healthy conversation with them.
