today is my birthday

Thank you for the happy birthday wish. Since there are no electricity then no refrigerator and no ice! (very hard to bell about 20 miles away). So we don't keep any food such as fish or meat. We buy fish everyday. If we have more fish we make it salty fish and no ice required. As for meat, we have our own cow and buffalo. However it's not very often people in my village slaughter animal for the meat. May be two or three times a year only. Rest of the day we eat vegetable which can be found around our house. The chicken also supply eggs for us. There are no candles also in our house since we make it our own oil lamp. In a house may be only four or five oil lamp and we keep fill it with oil. It's only for about three to four hours. After that we sleep in darkness until next morning. Luckily there are no snow in our country. Otherwise I can't write anything here... By the way, now I live in city with complete infrastructure. Once a while I going back to my village to visit my mother, brothers and sister. I bring along my son to the nature to make them understand and appreciate the difficulty and the struggle of their father in the past.
