~ A journey through Indian countryside ~
(Relishing peace, harmony and loads of
organic food)

Indian countrysides are perfect retreats to
decipher the simple joys of life. Away
from the hustle bustle of city, countryside
amidst its lush greenery, gorgeous landscapes
and farm to table foods is truly a visual and
culinary heaven for an urban dweller.Before
bidding adieu to summertime(and daughter's
summer vacations) I desperately wanted some
days of peace, tranquility and a boost up for
upcoming projects ahead. The calmness
is perfect for brainstorming new ideas too..
My better half traces his roots to a beautiful
countryside in the Northern plains but having spent
his growing up years in a chic boarding schools
and college, his acquaintance to the earthy smell
of land and winds is as limited as mine.

So finally after all these years we decided to visit
his farm. My father in law, a septuagenarian,
has beautifully managed the farmlands, thrice
a week he drives from home to the farms to look
after the crops.

His entire team ( the farmhands) were so happy
to see us around and like a young enthusiastic
teenager they were eager to show us every
corner - the corn, millet and veggie fields,
stretches of vegetable patches,the goat shed,
the barn and of course the mango grove.The
entire walk was filled with anecdotes of
yesteryears and how FIL would climb the
trees and pick raw mangoes and jamuns that
he can't even dare to taste now.

Over the conversation I came to know that
he had been suffering with severe sensitivity of
teeth since several months !! I had the perfect
solution to it - Sensodyne, that could not only
relieve sensitivity but could also relieve the
associated tooth pain.Luckily I had one along
with a spare toothbrush in my vanity kit and
surely I wanted him to use it immediately
and feel the difference.

Capturing natural surroundings is nothing
less than a charm for me. The best part about
this photowalk was that I could pick up all the
booties that I liked. FIL showed me the
melon vines and the phalsa shrubs that had
popped up at many places here and there. We
picked up a few, gladly he too was able to relish
some - thanks to the Sensodyne effect. I handed the
basket full of Phalsas to the farm help who was all
eager to make phalsa sherbat for us. Mother in law
was so happy, dad would be sipping his favorite
sherbat after ages today. I was sure that regular
brushing with Sensodyne would turn this sip into
a big glassful soon.
I was so glad to pick up loads of mangoes and
wrapped in newpaper for being transported to our
city dwelling. My brain had started running crazy
for all the icy delicacies that i could make with
the fruits. Before the day ended the farm helps
made a hearty lunch of the freshest produce- hot
chappatis with jackfruit curry, sauteed okra and
freshly sourced gur (jaggery). The fresh mango juice
flavored ice gola (crushed ice)dessert truly won my
heart.I am glad that Sensodyne helped FIL in trying
some gola too !! The sun was setting in and loads of
fresh produce was ready in the boot space to be
driven off to the city. Truly a day well spent
with wonderful memories to cherish for lifetime.

Isn't it lovely how sometimes life unfolds itself,with
about the farm life and recipes to incorporate
fresh produce.
If you have some Sensodyne story , do share with us
