:Beginning of the Season of Harvesting:

It's the beginning of summer in Tankaria & it is harvesting time. The farmers in Tankaria & around villages are getting ready
to get the fruits for the hard work they have done for the past eight months. The farms are green with the grown plants, ripe
& mature fruits. It is time to cut those fruits, bring it in open land, process them to final product & sell it.

This time of the year is the most busiest time in the lives of any farmers. And, as we all know as we are all at some extent
farmers, this time of the year brings out lot of memories. Some of us been to farms when we were kids, some of us helped
out our father or grandfather or relatives in the farms, some of us still owns the land & give someone else to harvest it.
But
for me & for most of us  lot of good lot memories are attached with this season.
When the fruits are all mature,we
used to go to farm with our grandfathers
 to the farm & pick baby green bean & eat it while there. We would bring some
back home to make a dinner at night. We all have eaten  fresh & hot
"pok" with "sevo"  in summer. Then, we would go to
school & wonder around the
"Khadu" & look at how old "Bapdada style of harvesting" very curiously. Then, there comes
"Khajuri"  from 'Threser" & then itchyness. That hurts, but after all these years, all those days are like a good dream
past by so fast.
I thank to Allah (SWT) for letting me experience & enjoy those days. Look at the pictures.

New Road Project In Tankaria

:Wednesday 10th February, 2010:
1. New Drainage System In Tankaria
2. Snow Storm in New Jersey & New York
3. Earth quake in Chicago City

News from Tankaria & Abroad:

A new drainage project has been approved for Tankaria. The project will take rain & dirty water around the Boys School
near Pawadiya's house in Nana Padar & water from Mota Bazaar to big c#@*%! near Bharuch-Palej road. The cost of
project is estimated at more than INR 200000.

This is a very good news for Tankaria & specially Boy's school because right now there is no proper sewage system
around Boys School. The water gets so dirty & smelly during the months of monsoon & summer. It affects the health of
our kids. Unmoved water is a safety issue too as kids playground is right next to it but with the development of new
project, the smelly & dirty water will be covered & will be transported out of the area.

However, this is affecting the hundreds of telephone lines in Tankaria village so if you are calling your relatives & family &
can not get in touch with them on land line, call on cell phone. It may take good few days to fix the telephone lines.

News from US/Canada:

Chicago city in the state of Illinois felt an earthquake last night. It was recorded of 3.8 magnitude on a scale & was also
felt as far as in the State of Ohio & State of Missouri. There has been no damage so far & no injuries reported. Our
Tankarvis in Chicago are reporting "everything okay".

In another news, New Jersey & New York is under the snow blizzard. There has been 2 feet of snow so far in the New York
City & Jersey City. All schools, banks, businesses & offices are closed for the day. Govt has urged the citizens to stay in
