Ten Reasons Why You Should Get Up Early In Maram Khullen

Maram Khullen

1.      The azure sister in perfect camouflage with the blue hills warms your heart and you are enticed into having a bite of the delicious morning.

2.      The Apollo in his golden orange cloak slowly takes a peep at your flower garden, then corridor and comes to tickle you through your front door, the fact that all the houses are build facing the Apollo.

3.       Either your rooster or your neighbours’ will constantly alarm you of the beautiful day laid before you.

4.      Your neighbours will definitely ask you why you got up late because you kick-off the day by lighting the tripod hearth, and to start the fire quicker you need live coals from your neighbour’s. Or your neighbours will come constantly knocking at your door for live coals with huge dry barks or neatly cut plate from canned fish tin.

5.       If you are late by an hour you’ll have to rush for your neighbours will give you a piece of their minds.

6.      Water is scarce therefore, if you want the best water you have to get up before dawn and collect from the village common pond.

7.      You don’t have anything readymade. You have everything fresh. To cook you need to go to your garden to pluck vegetables that you need especially the huge sweet cabbage (typical Maram Khullen Cabbage.)

8.       You don’t keep a nanny. You go and look out for people who are not going to the fields or office to take care of your baby for the day without any qualms from either side.

9.      You could manage all these in two hours time because you don’t have to worry about having forgotten to bring your dried clothes inside or having left a bucket or a knife outside your house. Your neighbour will take care. The fact that people do not have the system of locking their houses.

10.  People don’t count the day by hours but by the amount of work they have done and they follow the signs of Apollo and the calls of the roosters.
