In the vally surrounded by mountains covered with dense green jungle.. amazing to be there even for a while.. That is the first thing comes to my mind about this place. The root of my life lies here.. which started right here.. I think that's why probably I like mountains very much..
This place was very much like a place of a fairy tale.. not only because it is well decorated by god with all natural things but also because I had grown up by listening to the stories about various events from my mom. Also Saras Dangal is the place for our all summer vacations and various functions.
Some of the things about this place which I can recall from my childhood are:
Kulfi wala - who use to sell white/orange yet very big and testy ice-creams and the way we use to run behind him..
White chocolates : superbly tasty and the way I use to convince my mom to get me one..
Rasgullas - They were very special, as they always bore a special taste which was not found any where even in Madhepura - which is known for the abundance of milk and milk products.
Last but not the least ..
Moorhi (Puffed Rice) and Chop - The were special and even among the current favourites of mine, as the puffed rice available there are prepared by special rice and use to have salt imbibed in it, and you don't need to add extra salt. Also they use to be greatly 'kurkure'. They were more tasty because Kunti Mausi use to prepare specially for us.
Pokhars - for taking bath, in the Dangal Pokhar (mostly), the Musugadiya pokhar, where we use to get mad and use to run as soon as to get the first dip. Amazing experience and the great days those were, priceless moments.
Dangal - Playing VolleyBall with my small and thin hand with all tall and big bhaiyas and mamas. Though I must appreciate them as they gave chance to me, they just did not neglect me as I was a kid and use to visit the place only for some time.
Hatiya - Twice in a week, where you get so many great things, I used to get the "hari chane ki jhaadis", which we use to heat in fire and eat like moong-phali. Also we use to get sweet buns and so many things at a very low price.. It is still a culture there. Mama use to get good chicken on the days of hatiya.
Our Big house - with so many brothers and sisters our sweet plays.. so many great games.. Denga paani, dash-kosh-single-bulbul-master, nukka-chori .. etc along with the stories and songs from Dilip Mama and Suresh Mama, Pata Mausi... Also those places use to be and even now to some extent very calm at night .. and there use to be no mosquitos at all.. pleasant weather and we use to sleep at the terrace.. I use to wonder seeing skies and stars.. and learned so many things about stars and skies ...
Our Nanihal use to amaze me as there use to be Dhanush, Teer and Talwar of the days of Nana jee, There was a Kastoori.. We use to explore the entire house during the day time while playing the nukka chori etc
