Enjoying

Once in kerala there is nothing much to do hence the best way to while away time would be to work with workers on field.Iwould take the smallest spade available and try to do some physical work with the workers.However the elders would not allow us to do work once the sun is too hot.
Back home there is not much to do except listen to radio as Telvision was not available in India on those days.All India Radio Alleppy was the most used station and depending on weather we might also get Radio Trivandrum and Radio Trichur.They all have set timetable for programs and most of the day it will poetry or classical music which was of not much intrest to us children.So we would play with calf and small goat and then after lunch it is time to rest and later all go to the river for a good bath.Days seems to be so relaxed as compared to busy life in a city.
Once in a week we had market were everybody comes with there products.Vegetables,Chicken,eggs,jackfruit,Coconut plant etc; are for sale.I too wanted to sell something in the market so my grandfather allowed me to carry 20 numbers of eggs.Luckily in 2hrs I could sell all the eggs then I and my helper purchased things as per our list and came back home.The market was 4 Kms.from home and walking was the only means of travel!
