I often wonder what it would be without trees. Our natural surroundings are so endowed with trees and that too tall, thick trees. Even on the hottest of summer days I remember sitting below thick neem or peepal trees with friends and still feeling so soothed under the shade. It is as if, the sun could never reach through the leaves.
Just lying below the trees with friends and looking up at gently moving leaves would be hypnotic and most often lead you to a slumber without the need of air conditioners. But would our children experience all this, I wonder. In this age, when even school buses are air conditioned and both parents and children prefer them, would you want your children to sit by the shade of a tree and enjoy their childhood, playing with mud vessels, and leaves and flowers and imaginery food???
I personally believe, it is the duty of every parent to allow their child to enjoy the natural way of life. Let your child experience certain hardships that will turn them into stronger human beings, and be prepared for the hottest summers, or the coldest winters. Let them not always be dependent on the air conditioner or the heaters - or for that matter all other luxuries that money can buy today, but leave them from experiencing the real thing.
Keema Muttar has nothing to do with the above, but I was just sharing my thoughts with you.

1/2 kg - mutton keema

7-8 cloves garlic - grated
1 pc ginger - grated
