Ek Batey Barah

There was once a village in which people depended on each other to live, to celebrate, and to mourn. No festival was celebrated alone. Cows and buffaloes went grazing together. Returned together. But it was not all good. There were difficulties. With love, lived jealousy. These are the stories of a farmer's life sprinkled with anecdotes from city life. These are memories from around the year starting with January going on to December. Stories of grass, and spiders, ant to humans, animals, river, trees, wells and farms.

Sanju Jain's water colours have the water from Narmada and colours of trees and plants. These illustrations won't open up to you with the first turn of the page. You will have to attend to them, befriend them.
