Health

Physical health means how well all the different parts of the ody function. Mental health refers to the ability to think clearly and sensibly, and social well being means the ability to make andbody keep relationships with other people. All these these different aspects are necessary for the complete health of the individual. In the East, we have our own definitions of health.

Terai Festivals

If  you ask someone about the festivals they will probably mention  Holi or Chhath. But I like Sama-Chakewa best. It's a festival which is velebrated in the month of Kartik. When the full moon comes out in the sky, here on the earth, women and girls come out of their houses. They carry flat baskets on their heads in which there are dozens of different birds made of clay, so beautiful and real, they look as if they ae ready to fly. Cranes, herons, ducks and many othershers, among them Sama-Chakewa,  the loving birds.among the birds And there is als a bearded character, called Chungla . Some baskets also contain rice, fruit, flowers and betel. Small dios twinkle in the baskets and the innocent,beautiful faces  aenof the  are  reflected in their light. They ask Sama Chaktoewa to give their blessings to theth eir brothers and the sweet notes of their song fill the tranquinight air.l

The city of joy

The old man couldn't remember how many generations of lotuses had bloomed and faded in the pond since he was born. What Prodip Pal did remember, however, was that he had once been a prosperous farmer. He had owned as many as six granaries full of rice and eight acres of fertile land. He had been able to provide for the future of his sons and give his daughters generous dowries to get them good husband. For himself and his wife in their old age, he had kept a small piece of land. "The pair of us should be able to live there in peace," he had promised her "until the day when Yama, god of death, comes to claim us."
      The old man had been wrong in his expectations. That plot of ground had been given to his father years ago by a zamindar. One day the zamindar's sonlaid claim to the land.Prodip Pal refused to return it; The matter came before the courts. But the young zamindar had bought the judge and the farmer had to abandon his land and his house.
      Further terrible trails lay in store for Prodip Pal and his family. Thier legal fights  with the zamindar had left them with only half an acre of good land, which couldnot produce enough crops to feed the family. When they ran out of rice they survived on the fruits from the three coconut tees and on the vegetables from the   high ground that required very little irrigation. There was also the fruit from the jackfruit tree. The Pals were thus able to survive for two years.
