We approached the Sarson Ke Khet in Haryana

Sarson ke Khet! Mustard fields! Ah, those golden blooms spread over acres and acres bringing a smile on the wrinkled face of the owner of the farm. I was interested to shot my crochet on the way in the sarson fields whilin trveling from Jind to Hisar. so for that purpose to realize   my niece entered the field so coutiously   as her callused hands tenderly touch the delicate blooms more delicately than Shahrukh Khan caressed the tresses of Kajol in that eternal love song- “Tujhe Dekha to yeh Jana Sanam— तुझे देखा तो ये जाना सनम, प्यार होता है दीवाना सनम “ that made the “Sarson Ke Khet the ultimate romantic destination in India”.

 But dear reader long before Shahrukh Khan belled the divine bovine –   Gau mata  (गौ माता) to get the attention of dove-eyed Kajol,  Sarson Ke Khet have been popular in Bollywood for ages.

Sarson Ke Khet
The friendly farmer whose fields we use to walk and camp for Tea every evening cycled to his fields every day and was kind enough to give Captain Satish Sharma a fellow traveler and well known photographer keys to his room. You see not only the fields in Punjab are big, Sardajees by nature have a big heart too, and they  go much beyond: “ Mi Casa su Casa” but also   “ Mi Sarson Ke Khet su Sarson Ke Khet” or in the old farmers words
