Last few days, the incessant rain

had been lashing down on our

desert village.

In the balmy breeze, sunshine and

intoxicating air, I felt as if heaven

had descended on earth.

The inhabitants of our village were

all geared up to enjoy

the autumn season.

My village is my paradise, as it helps

me to bond closely with everyone.

I feel joyous environment when I saw

tribal dance and listened to the

romantic music.

I eat salad with meals which includes

rice and simple fish curry or

different seafood.

Since I have a habit of dancing, I am

very strict about not consuming

carbohydrates after sunset.

I drink a glass of lime juice with

honey every morning and enjoy

a heavy breakfast.

I need to awake my inner conscience,

as struggle, dislike, depression,

hatred are all part of our life.

I could realize that everyone goes

through various trials and troubles

during the course of our lives
