The environment is fresh here. The people living here are friendly. They are hardworking too. If you visit my village, you can enjoy the endless cropland, the fresh food and the warm hospitality of the villagers. Especially you can taste here the sweet mangoes. Our village is surrounded by a river. There is a market in the heart of the village. Whenever you go there, you see people are always busy. You can move anywhere at any time as it is a safe area. It is also one of the cleanest villages in this area. The only difficulty that you may face is a power cut. Very often, the night is quiet here. But you can enjoy the beauty of the night sky then.
