The women with big baskets swaying or swinging down their back plucking the leaves in a rhyming or rhythmic movement all  together is a real treat to the eyes. The lavishly  green vegetables  present a  beautiful and splendid sight pending the weather , watching the planters either planting or harvesting appear like a tapestry of paintings that one is never tired of admiring.

No bus passers by .It is a blessing in disguise. It offers the opportunity to walk along an d discover the little things, the flowers ,the fruits ,the fauna and the flora that make the countryside so sweet.

It is a most enjoyable journey if one goes with the right mood for nature never lets down its votaries.
