bajra and me!


When I was a kid my grandmaa use to make bajra roti in winter season. In summer she prefers to make missi roti. While the poor people depended on bajra roti for whole the year. That was the time when breach between the rich and poor classes was wide, that’s why poor landless and marginal farmers  shun bajra for regular use as this was cheap and locally available in our village. At that time in kharif season bajra ,guar , moong, moth were grown and in rabi season gram/chana was grown along with some sarson.

I still remember when we first we decided to farm. It was munia chachi who helped us for all the farming activities and deals she was very industrious, honest worker, she was about 25 at that time.
