Nazirpur, Malda, West Bengal - A trip to my Ancestral home -Part II

How green is my village!

We were invited for lunch to one of my dad's cousin's place, they live very close by. The food was yummy.There was kalai dal, postor bara,potol and aloo bhaja, and a very nice mixed vegetable. For non- vegetarians there was mutton as well.My husband loved the food. Something about the taste of vegetatbles, somehow they really taste very good. It never tastes that good when we make it at home:(

We went for a walk in the evening. The Ganges flows very close to the village, it took us around half an hour to reach it. The walk was very rejuvinating, we walked through mango orchards. I did not realize there were so many varieties of mangoes in Malda alone, i knew there were many, I have grown up having varieties of mangoes, but the list is endless! Here is a list of mangoes available in Malda, this is certainly not exhaustive, there are many-many more types/varieties of mangoes that are available in Malda:

Langra
Gopalbhog
Khirsapat
Phojli
Mishrikand
Krishnabhog
Vishnubhog

Amrapali
Brindaboni
Rakhalbhog
Korpurdaagi
Amritbhog
Lokhonbhog
Kathwa

and the list goes on...


It was a nice evening, I had forgotten how beautiful the village was!

Here are some snaps of Nazirpur village and areas around it. Our trip was just for two days but we had a great time.The only dampner was the electricity (I wish the electricity would co-operate more, it was playing hide and seek with us. We had to survive the two days with just a few hours of electricity!)
