LIFE BEYOND EXPECTATION AT SONEPUR
Perception about life is very easy and simple for the people of Sonpur, Which is situated just 34km distance from Berhampur .in the district of Ganjam , Odisha.A small fishery village near the commendable Sea Beach of Sonpur.Though not too popular among tourist but the whole location has filled with the natural beauty.
The calm and quite village mostly busy with their own work never concerned with the matter which are not required for them. Very close neat neighbors stay while sharing every bit of things at the time of crisis. No formality and dual mind set among the group of house wives who stay at home through out the day. The much elderly persons never think to go at old age home as like modern city but there the housewife give more time for the care of the elders. If incapable then the whole families of the same lanes gather in one place to feel comfortable. Social life is too simple for them . No much hype club house or community centers are there where they can spent their social life. Surprise to see that total village involve in day today affair and gather for the interaction for each bit of matter. Mostly the women are busy for the selling of fish at market while the men are going to sea for catching fish. The new generation gradually are motivating for study and the girls are more orients for education that's why instead of getting married so early now their parents opt for the higher education . If one can pass the corridor of the village one can feel the solace and the
The chirping sound of the children at the road creates a positive vibration how happily they are spending time with out any fear. Due to safety and security they are independently roaming around the village . No security guards are there to watch for the safety of the girl child. Never think about that situation only because the transparency and the mutual respect for each other and internal coordination with each family.
The short interaction with a group of women of that village gave me idea how much they are so confident to save their tradition and believe to continue their sanctity of their family life. They still adorn traditional jewellery along with cotton Saree. Confidently they feel to adopt modern thinking so that their new young generation can grow positively.
One important thing they shared with me was that they prefer to arrange the marriage of their daughter only within the village which will give them safety and security of their daughter. Neither they never arrange out of their village nor they bring from other location . That give strength to inter generational relationship. The psychological bondage is growing within the families. Due to internal peace and adjustment most of the people are not suffering by any aliment. All these matters give a communal strength and they all work hard to save the beauty of the environment.
This some how clicked to my mind too severely how the people of small village live life so happily with out any availability of modern amenities and the props of high standard living facilities.
With their regular routine work they accept what the things are coming into their ways. At times the availability of fish are not so much at their two or three days journey at sea .Still they struggle to face the crisis. No depression that they feel for this short comings.
At times they come back with empty hand from their tour to catch fish. The hard work and the suffering never creates any hitch on their life schedule.
Perhaps the concept of beautiful life style that they follow due to the influence of the exemplary surrounding of nature. Which impact on their life style, simple but beautiful .
Soon after passing just 1km from their village the beautiful Sonpur beach is there.No words are there to express the beauty of the place . Just serene and unspoken able to the natures best beauty.
River Bahuda is flowing near to the village . The confluence of river with Bay of Bengal at the end is the most attractive point to visit there. The transparency of the water speaks about the cleanliness of the river . No pollution is there at the water bodies.
To enjoy the meeting point of river with sea one can go there by boat.Thats the optimum point where one can enjoy at its fullest form.
Before reaching at the beach local volunteers are helping to give their services without charging anything from the tourist. This is what i got support from the two young chap who without thinking anything they helped my mother for reaching at beach. Both of them were so soft and ready to help every one and doing volunteering in a group who are from their village .The most touching point was that they kept more vigil for the safety of the tourist like me when i went towards the lonely locations of the river for the photo shoot. They were with me and advised not to move more interior due to the viability of any danger. On that situation i felt about their honesty of their job and helped me to take fish from the fisherman at the lowest price . They did not feel like to take any tips from me. Their smiling face and honesty created a soft feelings for them.I asked their name and exchanged contact no . They are non other then but a two young boys of that village . Laxhmi Kanta Behera and Meenoketan Behera. Both of them are studying in the college. They are hoping to do their best at their career.
So far as the beauty of the beach and the river sight is concerned then i can say no such clean tourist spot is there in odisha.
Life will be more simple and stress free if we expect less . No mediation is necessary to fill the emptiness of life . Great travellers always says that we get great lessons from each visit to any new place. This life teachings we may perceive for the healthy living standard.
The silence whisper of the wind speaks loudly about the importance of the place. The Sun set view itself prove to spend time more there.The pine trees near the sea beach creating a picturesque, green glossy attractive view for the each visitors.I captured the sequences of the natures best position returned back with heavy heart and great satisfaction .
I recommended everyone to visit and enjoy there at least for a day.If any one need guide then take the help of the volunteers who will give assistance for the roaming near beach and the confluence point by boat .Laxhmikanta Behera-6370554165,

cleanliness around their houses. They probably believe that cleanliness invites God Luxmi thats why soon after the sunrise they make the alpana in front of their house. Neither they use any plastic nor do they spread any unhygienic habit which may help to the violence against environment. Perhaps i feel that they are the chief guardian of the beautiful location.
