🌅 India Rising
April 11th 2016 ,
I visited Rayagada, in southwest Odisha. My was in a small village — really just a cluster of houses and a pub — and on my first night my friend with me I decided to visit the pub for a drink.
The place looked appealing from the outside — old stone walls and a hand-painted sign bearing a stallion’s head. But it turned out to be modest and mostly charmless on the inside. The lighting was spotty and the room was dark. A space heater groaned in a corner.
No one was sitting at the bar, but a handful of people — eight or so men and women, most of them older — occupied some of the tables. They eyeballed me as I walked in, and I was considering walking right back out again when the woman behind the taps asked me if I’d come in to ask for directions or if I was looking for drink. I didn’t want to seem like a lost tourist, so I ordered a pint. I sat down with my beer and tried not to look uncomfortable.
The man sitting closest to me, surely sensing my unease, leaned over and offered his hand. His name was AKARA Munda and he was a honey collecter . His tablemate was Rao . Rao painted houses and also, I learned later, had made the handsome sign over the bar’s entrance — the one with the stallion’s head.
Akara and Rao asked what had brought me to town. I told them I was visiting the area for landing leasing purpose and they seemed pleased to hear it. They told me about some places worth visiting, and soon the other people in the Deshi bar had joined in our conversation. It became clear that everyone here knew everyone else. They were not only familiars but also regulars. They visited the Deshi pub almost every night.
As time passed, some of them left — bidding me a good visit and safe travels — and others arrived. That was only road side real village side dinner place , 30 kms from that place any direction , No restaurant for dinner , It felt like I was spending time with a local panchayat , and I found myself wishing I lived near a pub like this — a place I could go to at the end of each day for a pint and a restorative dose of fellow-feeling. Yes all around was dense forest .
All around Many breads of snakes , black lepoards sounds coming from side of kailash kata Ghat main road side dense forest that was around 11.30 pm late night.
That evening I heard that Moiast was some were near by , Yes No moblie network , All towers blown up by moiasts , Yes , I had a smart phone ,But no network , so only used as a torch and watch , Then also 15 % percentage battery was left ..
