Interaction with the village folks

It was a beautiful day, we trekked for many kilometers. Enjoyed songs on way, observing new things and plants in jungles of Manali. Pleasant weather, cool breeze and friend along singing song, I can't forget that. We reached there in 1hr 30 min. I along with my team reached a house. We started with our introduction and asked many questions. We discussed about many things including weather, problems, facilities, area, people, tradition etc. She told us many things like her family has 20 acres of apple farm, she also do cloth work and much more. She was not calling this as a problem but I felt it because due to snow fall they are unable to go market for 6 months. They have access to technologies like mobile, TVs, geezer etc. It was new and interesting task which helped me to evolve my listening, speaking and friendly skills. I was facing little difficulty in understanding her accent but she was very happy as that was clearly visible in her eyes and tone of her voice. She asked me "Would you like to live here?" I said yes but truly speaking "I don't want to because for 6 months they cannot go any out easily". We also got chance to work on machine, by which clothes like shawls are produced. My mates and I felt very good because the lady was so gentle and she was very good. Then I took permission from her and took 1 shawl to wrap myself. She told us about the beauty of Manali and hills, which was really impressive.
