Mera Gaon... Mera Des....

I recently visited my village for 4 days during Christmas vacation. The temperature was very low, must be less than 12 degrees. Morewadi is located 350 kms from Mumbai, 30 kms from Karad, 82 kms from Satara and it takes approximately 6 hours to reach from Mumbai. Whenever I see any advertisement of any resort, my village comes in front of me with the scenic beauty. The best part of this place is the climate, which is pleasant throughout the year with good rainfall and good amount of variety crops. I recently enjoyed the fresh sugarcane directly from the field, which refreshed my childhood memories.

Mobile Phones and the recently built houses are the things which irritate me when I visit this place. Recently, many mobile phone companies have started their networks in the village and nearby places and the calmness of this place is being lost day by day due to the arrival of the mobile phones with their ringtones and the music played on them. There was a time when there was only one landline phone in the whole village but today the scenario has changed. In one corner, lies my uncle's bungalow which was recently built. When I look at it, i feel that the village is getting urbanized, which really hurts me. There was a time when people used to use the cow dung as in the front courtyard, but now the cement and iron has taken its place. But still I love my village and eagerly wait to go there whenever I get a long weekend. You are always welcome to visit this place. I am sure you will enjoy the stay.

Sharing some images with you, which I clicked using my cousin's Nikon D40. The images here will give you a detailed idea of the place.
