To the west of the Sastha temple is a vast open ground, earlier rice fields.
I enjoy the cool breeze in the evening. I prefer it as the destination of my walk.
The river runs parallel to the road. Between the river and the road are several Harijan colonies which have come up after my childhood days, and un-tarred roads connect these settlements.
Last evening I walked along one of these and was surprised to see huge tanks coming up which reminded me about reactor building in an atomic power plant. Of course, it is imagination.
The workers were taking bath in the river, just a hundred metre down stream from the house which father built. Being deep, the water is clean here. I envied them. I have a liking for project site, cut away from the “madding crowd”. All those employed in the project have a sense of cameraderie and the structure is a triumph of human endeavour.
The water purification tank and the water tank are designed to supply drinking water to vast areas, I was told by one of the workers.
There is plenty of water in the rivers. We must utilise it; that is all.
