My village is called Baruda. Baruda is a medium size village located in Bhanjanagar Block of Ganjam district, Odisha with total 446 families residing. The Baruda village has population of 1977 of which 992 are males while 985 are females as per Population Census 2011.My village exists in a low lying area that has a warm summer and a chilly winter. Although the village is far cooler than the city during the summer. Also, you do not need air conditioners in a village because of the breeze. In a village you see greenery and almost every household has a minimum of one tree in their courtyards.
The day in my village beings with the twittreing of birds. Menfolk get up early and go on with their usual work . The women folk after having their bath in the pond return to their respective homes to resume their daily household work . The children are found playing merrily in the streets. The evenings in a village are quite enjooyable. The curls of smoke are seen rising up from every kitchen . The night with the moon above turns the village a dreamland .The villagers pass their evening at the temple talking about their own problems .
People of different castes and occupations such farmers, farm workers,potters,blacksmith,Barbers,Harijans inhabit in my village.They are all busy with their work from dawn to dusk and thus earn their living.Farmer work very hard on their land and grow different crops. They are filled with satisfaction when they get the fruits of their labour . They are more dedicated to their work then the people of the city also they have more strength and capacity then urban area people.But all is not well with them. The natural calamities like floods,cyclones,drought,etc .put them at a heavy loss . But they never give way to to sorrow or grief . They work hard and manage to live their life .Baruda
