In my life i had gone to my papa’s village twice .
1st time :When My grand pa was not well.
2nd time :On my grand ps’s barsi ( I dont know what is that for )
Okie so i wrote this to Tell you guys about the starnge expressions that we get when one (From the ’sheher (City) goes to gaon (Village).My dadiji Lives in Jammu. And the Village is called ‘Satwari’.There are two parts of Satwari.One is the city area and one is the village area.They used to live in Village area those days.I was very exicited to go there as i had heard about it so much ,for terrorism ,for its beauty ,for snow claded mountains.We used to live in Chandigarh and travelling from Chandigarh to Jammu was a Dream for me.We reached Jammu.Papa had strictly told me not to go anywhere leaving mamma or bhai since we did not know anyone and then I may be lost somewhere .We travelled by Train .
Ok then we are in Jammu now .It was damm cold.All of us were shivering.I started crying out of pain caused by cold .We had a ‘Hot Ginger Tea ‘.We saw our relatives waiting for us .They picked up our luggage and we then moved.So Here we are .I asked papa ,’Are we here to go vaishno devi ?’ .. He replied , ‘ No,But we will see if we can go there ‘ .I asked to Bhai. ‘Oye ,do you know why we are here ‘ .. he replied .. ‘ No ,But what do we have to do ,Chill ‘. I said Okie.
The next day.Papa told we are going to his village,where he was born and spent his 13 years of life.We were excited. As we reached the village , We were told that we will have to walk a little because the cars will not go in since there is a lot of rush in the house and the street is not so wide .So we got out and started walking ..Oh my god I actually felt so strange . All the people were staring at us as if we are aliens .Speaking in a Little different language than Punjabi.Then we reached home and Apart from our relatives ,there were some localities also sitting with them.
I usually do not understand relations because we never lived in a Joint family ever and since Papa was in airforce ,we never stayed in one place.Used to speand vacations in Nani’s home .So papa’s relatives were unknown to me atleast.
I as usual started chatting and then people (outside village ) were just staring at me .I asked if i have any broher or sister or it is just that i can see all elders , (I was tired of wishing unknown people around me ).Then some one informed ,Childrens are no present since they are sent somewhere else ( I dont remember the exact place they gave me).I thought what the hell man ,I am not going to speak to people here .Then i sat with Bhai and started chatting with him.As we were chatting i saw few people staring at us regularly.I ignored them for a while but could not resist afterwords.I walked upto them and asked .. ‘ Am i looking strange ??’ they replied ‘No ‘. I asked then ‘ Why are you all staring at me from the last 1 hour ‘.. And they just started giggling like stupids.
The whole day we spent ,They just made Funny expressions , could not close their mouth .
I heard 1 of them saying ” These people from city do not have a dressing sense. ” .. I told what the hell ,whats wrong with my dressing sense man.
When i told one of them i work for Wipro Bpo .. One of them just screamed and said “Whaaaaaaat what did you tell , Call centre ” .. ” You mean you go for night shifts ,I wonder what you guys do in night when everybody sleeps “.. I was like , She is sick and said nothing.
And then at last the day reached when we had to go back to Chandigarh .. Thank god .I would never want to visit there again.It felt so suffocating.
