Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face.

No price drop at weekly bazaar


While roaming in the weekly Sunday market traditionally held in Jajmau's old Saraiya bazaar, we surely fail to find comparatively cheaper items of daily use. We more often discover the impact of steep prices in every aspect here. 

Whether we approach to buy either the peas or salty biscuits in this weekly market, there is inkly no change in rates in direct comparison to other markets.

All those residing around the market areas strive to famously walk the congested market as a normal purchaser, after all, and frequently nod to existing preferences in modest, evaluated ways with time, attention and preference, through uniform, easing affinities that aptly develop comparatively levelled and evenly meaningful environments until the market continues.

The green peas remain available at Rs 50 per kg, while the much-savoured round-shaped salty biscuits prepared by the traditional oven are selling at Rs 50 per kg. In terms of prices, we can find the same relatively old proverb, "Taka Ser Khaja, Taka Ser Bhaji."

There is no persistent difference in the prices once uttered by the shopkeeper arranging a ground shop upon the crowded roadside. What has been once told becomes inflexible. 

While both these items are normally consumed or tasted during the real winter time.

It cannot be paired with a complete arrangement of machine-based products or many seasonal agricultural products in straight alignment.

However, we have been tasting both these items in the ongoing vibrant winter season. 

Perhaps the most visible vegetables of our households are expected to be seasonal peas with a modest, formal, and appreciative sensibility. That even suits our more or less food habits without any other adverse points in every way.
