I Slipped In The Mud

Reading the title, hey you laughing? I can hear you, you know. Curse you hope you face this experience soon, lmao.

Have you walked in the mud, that chocolaty brown liquid-like solution that forms in some places during monsoon season?

Hey, don't walk on that it's very slippery, and who knows you may fall and taste the chocolaty liquid, lol. Got an urgent call from my village as someone from my family was sick and was asking for me to come and give a visit. So without thinking much I decided to give them a visit as when people ask you to meet in their bad times or when they aren't feeling well, meet them as soon as you can or if you won't you will regret it in future. Just place yourself in their place and you will realise how important and awesome they will feel when someone they asked for visits them.

I don't have a bike, just a car but the path to my village is not good during the rainy season so I opted to go with the car. Whispers, lol the main reason is the fuel price. Don't tell anyone about this, ok. So I choose the public train service which was surprisingly vacant this time and I got a seat for the first time in this year of traveling by train, in fact, the whole train was kind of empty. Ah, I wish it stays like that every time I travel.

The train was late by 13 minutes. But it dropped me at my destination just 5 minutes late then it's fixed time.

I had two options to go to my village, one to go with the road route, which is around 3-4kms by foot and takes years to reach, lol or another one was to go straight through the farmlands which was around 1.5km by foot. The heat was intense there and I was already sweating a lot so I decided to take the dangerous way to go through the farmlands with muddy path full of surprises like crabs and snakes, lol.

I had taken my slippers with me, in case of such situations so I changed my shoes to slippers and walked on the muddy path, for some reason the mud didn't bother me as I was wearing slippers but in heavy mud places I had to take my slippers in hands or they would have been jammed in the mud and in the processing of moving they could have been broken and so I avoided it. I was walking peacefully until I was about to step on a crab, lol. I was in slippers that time doesn't worry. I dodged it by making a weird pose and somehow my leg slipped and I half-fall as I was able to stop it with my one hand. Ah, thanks to my reflexes. I got mud in my one hand and thankfully no drops on my clothes or this would have been funny. There was plenty of water on the rice fields and so I used them and no the water wasn't dirty because it's a rice field man. It's unfit for drinking and bathing but not for minimal washing.

Just like that, slipping and walking I reached my village. Washed myself and immediately went to take bath in a well and guys seriously that cold well water felt so good in my body that I can't explain. I poured a lot of that water on myself.

This is the veranda of my house in village. Surrounded by trees and bushes. That small tent is for ducks and we have a lot of chickens also, they aren't poultry and so their meat tastes better than the market ones but they are for business purposes. And sadly a wild cat or jackal took a chicken of ours, it's the 2nd time in two months they took something from our chicken treasure. I guess they aren't getting enough food in their jungle and this village is already 40-50 years old far from the jungle and the village area hasn't been expanded. So the jungle wasn't invaded by us.

After that, I met that sick person, talked with them and in the evening train I came back again and yes this time also the train was empty, Yay. The person was very happy seeing, I felt that seeing their eyes.

Final Thoughts

It was a good experience for me to enjoy the greeneries at the cost of some slippery and sweaty experience. I have two houses in my village. One is made of Khapra (Mud Tiles) and the other one with bricks. I'm sure most of you haven't seen a house made of mud tiles. I will share it someday if I remember it on my next visit.

And don't take such risky adventurous like me.
