Atari village

It was 16th of september, with other 6 friends i went to this beautiful village which is in amritsar near wagah border that was named as attari village.we reached there by 11 o clock.we had to stop our car and ask the roots to the village to two different people at different places.we stopped our car infront of a gurudwara.there were 2 people sitting infront of the gurudwara.we enquired them about the village.they gave us some information about the village..then we moved in to the heart of a villege.we saw small dairy farm and a farmer who was bathing the buffallos.the moment he saw us he came to us and started to interact with us.his behaviour was really friendly that we felt he was one among us.then he invited us to his house though we refused he didnt leave us.
He insisted us to to visit his house.so we went with him and he introduced us to his whole family.the hospitality given by them was really awsome,infact i can say it was better than many star hotels in india.then he started to share about the village.hearing the details i came to know that how lucky we all were.half of the villagers did not even had basic toilet fecilities.they hardly had 3 computers in the whole villege.no proper grocery shops,they had to walk 2 kms if they had to buy something.there is only a school in the villege and small clinic  with very little medical abemities.they claim that government does not even look at them.there was no banks or atm near by villege.they had their own gas plant which produced gas from cow dung.though they had a lot of problems they did not forget to give us the maximum hospitality they could give.they offerd us tea and snacks..they gave their head turban for us to wear.they themself tied the turban on our head.we  also took 2 of the turban back with us which they offered us.they insisted us to have lunch too..but we resisted and came from there by thanking them alot.it was an entire new experience and a pleasent one.
