Hey friends!
Hope everything is going smooth in your wonderful worlds and what that seems beyond control at the moment will soon be resolved by your wisdom and confidence that is what i believe.
One week ago i heard about my aunt [ only sister of my late father] that she wants to see us as she has not been able to visit us unlike before since while due to her illness and weakness. She lives in a village almost one and half hour drive away from our small city. Her husband was a very noble man and among some very important and rich people of the village. She was second wife to her husband and 17 year younger than him. After the death of his first wife he married to my aunt and loved her so much because according to him she gave him an owner of his all land and property after one year of their marriage ,i mean she gave birth to a baby boy .
They loved him beyond limits as my uncle had no son from his first wife and he felt desperate to have one since long Many yeas passed and when my uncle felt that their unbalanced love had spoiled their only son to a very large extent it was too late to correct his mistake .When he saw that everything that he had made with great hard work was being ruined by his son including his respect and honor . His son was spoiled, uneducated and rude man . He had developed many bad addictions . He was cruel to his parents.
Some years ago one day my uncle got a heart attack and died .
within few years his son had sold all the mangoes and dates garden ,fields and even the house where my aunt lives to fulfill his addictions . Since she know that even her house is sold she got paralyzed . A villager who has bought that house is waiting for the day when she dies so he can take over.
The spoiled son lives in the same city on rent and his young son who is in army as soldier is running the bread of the house .He has no care for her mother or even for his own kids .
Meanwhile whenever my aunt visited us i made her stay with me for long so she could forget her pains for few days at least.But she used to say "though your house is heaven to me but i have to return to my hell because my daughters are there and i have to be with them until i am alive" I saw her crying like no other .She regretted for the worse brought up of his son and accepted that she could not teach him the difference between right and wrong ,she not make him a good person .If i would have stopped him on his bad actions in his childhood he would have been a better person but i just laughed on his misbehaves and ignored his flaws that arose into horrible destruction.
like my aunt my mother also did not get any school education but it is huge blessing of God for us as kids that she was one of most wise woman with humble generous heart and warm personality.
Since beginning she trained us in good way to lead neat ,simple and healthy life.
When i started this post i did not know i will write as much and this is biggest problem with me that i can never plan anything i sit on keyboard with an empty mind and write whatever comes in the mind at the moment .So i went to meet my sick aunt .We chose bike ride as day was chilly and very pleasant .Kids were at school and we had to get back to pick them up within limited time .All photos i took from running bike so hope you will enjoy the look of our rural area here.
After exiting from our colony we passed near the A.S.P house
This park is under construction in our neighborhood
Bridge over railway track near our colony
while crossing the bridge a naughty cloud covered the sun
Dates and bananas garden at the edge of the city
A canal flowing smoothly ,in summers water comes up
Next to the canal this is a under construction new housing society
After half hour we reached at main road
These yellow flowers in the wheat field are of mustard that is popular dish here
Both side of the link road were decorated with date ,mango and banana gardens
Scenes were delightful and hubby's driving was smooth
i found this full of some kind of grass truck interesting
Could not capture the whole donkey cart,his feet were making tik tok tik tok sounds on road
On link road there were lots of cattle resting under the trees beside the canal
Fields beside the village
This photo is old when she came to visit me and was well then
Now you can see how weak she has become [on right in black dress ] sitting with her daughter [on left, in yellow] who lives in same village with her family.
I stayed there for tow hours and left before sunset .
Dear friends hope you liked my simple sharing.
It is almost 7pm of evening here and i am so tired after doing my laundry .hubby just got back and making me a coffee .After last night rain it is again cold here.
Wishing all of you a lovely weather and happy beautiful life each moment.
take good care.
God Bless You All.

So sorry to hear about your aunt's illness and troubles.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting that you took your trip via bicycle. Here in the United States there is a lot of bike riding but very few use bicycle's for the purpose of travel. This is something that we should be doing. It would benefit bothy the environment as well as our own health.
Interesting photos as always! Cattle are so smart -- they can always find a shady spot to rest! I hope your auntie's life gets easier. Being old and ill is so hard and unfair.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post (as always) and lovely location! xx
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You. You have great heart and are no doubt a great comfort to her and to all in your family. " i sit on keyboard with an empty mind and write whatever comes in the mind at the moment." This is how the great work! You can revise or edit later. But let your inner genius tell your stories. I have even written a novel of Hawaii ["Aloha Where You Like Go?"] by organizing all the things I wrote when they came and poured out. Thank you for sharing. Please know that we in America, including our elected representatives are aware of the new presidents shortcomings. We have 2 other branches of government that are already standing up to his bad ideas. (Courts, Congress). Elections for many representatives (Senate + Congress I believe are up for reelection and must answer to the voters.
ReplyDeletedear friend ,you words are honor for me as you are an Amazing Writer!
Deletei wish i could read your spontaneous writing someday as i too love thing in their natural way of out come rather than artificial one.
Last night in new it was relief to hear that judge went against the Trump and gave permission to Muslim visitor to visit America .
I wish good for you country friend and hope things turn in to positive soon.
What a wonderful story, a slice of your life that you share with us. The photos are really illustrate your area of the world and are fantastic. It is really sad about your aunt but I bet she was thrilled to have you visit her. Traveling by bike is wonderful and offers good exercise and another way to view things /places that we see everyday.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day and I hope your aunt's health improves.
wow this sounds like one of your stories, so sad. Enjoyed the ride and photos.
ReplyDeleteI love your simple sharing. Beautiful post and beautiful pictures. Love the date trees too. It is so nice to see the picture of ladies int the traditional Shalwar Khameez .

The story about your aunt makes me feel very sad...
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are beautiful :-)
So wonderful landscapes in your photos.
ReplyDeleteHello Baili, when you write it is though you're sitting there talking quite naturally - as others above have said, it's straight from your heart.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad story about your Aunt and how lovely when you had her stay with you. You gave her some peace and happiness.
Thank you too for showing all the photos of the trip to your Aunt's home. The countryside, and animals are so interesting to see.
Bye for now, take care 💐
I enjoyed the "drive" with you seeing the things that you saw along the way, it was almost like being there!
ReplyDeleteYour stories are well written. They are direct from your heart and I think readers can feel it. They are sometimes sad like this one, but I love your pictures, that one with canal the most.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful heart Baili, such a positive person.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy seeing your photos and reading your posts.
Your aunt's story is very sad, but perhaps by sharing it, you may influence a young mother somewhere to be stricter and have a happier outcome, Baili. As an elementary teacher, I taught children mostly from 7-9. I observed many "helicopter moms" who would swoop in and rescue their children from their smallest mistakes in behavior. The other teachers and I would explain that it was better for the children to experience the consequences of their mistakes, because this was how the children learned; and the time to learn was now, when the consequences were small. But sadly, too many continued to indulge their children and shelter them from any difficulty or responsibility. Many of those children will have hard times ahead, just like your nephew.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed each of your photos. They provide a fascinating glimpse into another place and culture, so different from mine. But they also show how much humanity we have in common.
Often when I sit down to write a post I have no idea what I will write; or, if I have an idea, I go off in a different direction. What you write comes from your heart, and it is very obvious in your posts.
Have a lovely week, my friend. We are returning home in a few days. That will feel very good after all our traveling! Hugs and loves to you!
