Urbanisation arrives in Thul
Recently,government has arrived at the decision to built factories at a sleepy fishing rural village-Thul.The elders are apparently opposing to the idea but the young are supporting this idea instead.The elders disagree with this idea as they believed that that will mess up their normal life and also source of food.Why would that happened?It all relates back to the factories and the toxic waste they produced.The factories,as everyone knows,will produced poisonous and toxic waste,substances.To dispose of those waste,the factories will probably threw them into the sea along the shore of Thul.
After that happens,the fishes in the sea will also get poisoned and get killed due to water pollution.Fishermans are therefore not able to catch fishes which are all poisoned.Even if they catch a poisoned fish,they themselves will get poisoned if they consumed the fish.
Now,let's look at the young's views instead.They think that they will get jobs opportunities if the factories are built up.They can earn money then and can also help to make ends meet.They are also bored and sick of the normal everyday life-catch fish,eat,sleep.They wanted to do something new and interesting like having a job instead of wandering around uselessly.
However,will the government give jobs opportunities to those villagers who had exactly no idea of the machines and mechanics?Will they?In the end,we shall see if the elder's words or the young's words are wise...

Research on the preparation of chapathi and jalebi.
Differences between chapathi and roti prata
Chapathi is actually made of whole wheat flour, mixed with water and salt.It's rolled out, dry heated on a skillet,and then puffed up on a rack.It is a type of roti or Indian bread eaten in South Asia and East Africa and is the staple food for Southeast asia people.Roti is also made from wheat flour,except that it's cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called a tawa. Like chapathi, roti is a staple accompaniment to other foods, maybe spread with ghee (clarified butter) or yoghurt, used as a scoop, or rolled up with a filling.
Differences between jalebi and you tiao
Jalebi is actually a dipped fried and pretzel shaped dessert that is soaked in syrup.It has a very chewy texture and sometimes, sugars get partly fermented which adds flavor to the dish.It also has a crystallized sugary exterior coating and can be served warm or cold.However,youtiao is a deep-fried strip of long,golden brown dough.It's normally eaten in breakfast by the Chinese,East or Southeast Asian cuisines.Youtiao are normally lightly salted and act as an accompaniment for rice congee or soy milk.
Recipe for Chapathi
1)Put your in a large bowl with half the water.
2)Blend the two wheat flour together until it holds.
3)Beat and knead well until it forms a compact ball.
4)Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic.
5)Set aside the dough for 30 minutes.
6)Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts.
7)Roll each ball into a circle about 1/2 cm thick.
8)Heat an ungreased skillet(tava)and put chapati on it,let it cook for about 1 minute.
9) Turn and cook the second side for 2 3 minutes until small bubbles form.
10)Turn again and cook the rst side pressed lightly with a towel.
11) Serve warm.
Recipe for Jalebi
1)Mix the flour, semolina or rice flour, baking powder, curd and 3/4th cup of the water in a bowl (preferably a ceramic bowl).
2)Mix well with a whisk.
3)Mix well and then add remaining water and 1/8th tsp. of saffron powder, and whisk until smooth.
4)Set aside for about 2 hours to ferment.
5)Whisk thoroughly before use.
6)Prepare string syrup by dissolving sugar in the water. Just before the syrup is ready add saffron and cardamom powder.
7)Heat oil in a kadhai.
8)Pour the batter in a steady stream (or coconut shell with a hole) into the kadhai to form coils. Make a few at a time.
9)Deep fry them until they are golden and crisp all over but not brown.
10)Remove from the kadhai and drain on kitchen paper and immerse in the syrup.
11)Leave for at least 4-5 minutes so that they soak the syrup.
12)Take them out of syrup and serve hot.

Poses of Lila ( The Village by the sea )
When Lila offered flowers to the sacred rock in the sea:
In the picture above,there's a woman who looked very serious.When Lila offered the flowers, she must have looked very serious too and also very firm.
When the medicine-man arrived to help Lila's mother:
In the picture above,the girl is wiping off her cold sweat and feeling relieved. When the medicine man come to help Lila's mother, Lila must also be feeling relieved that help had arrived and her mother could be rescued after all.
When Pinto is poisoned:
In the picture above, the girl showed a very horrified look and also a sense of sadness in it as you can see that she's about to cry. When Pinto was poisoned and was about to die, Lila must be feeling despondent and also horrified because she did not predicted this to happen. Therefore, this picture best represents the pose of Lila when Pinto is poisoned.

Diary of Hari ( The Village by the sea )
God...I need money desperately,really desperately.Father addicted to beer,mother sick,sisters need to go to school-all these are a burden to me when I thought of it.As a man,I must get a job to earn money to make ends meet.Ramu said that factories are going to be built up in our village and we can get job then.
However,now I think of it,we are just normal villagers who don't know anything about machines,mechanics etc.Would the people hired us?would they?Even if they would,when will the factory be built?When?By the time the factories are built up and we get our jobs,we will starved by then.I could not afford to wait till then.I decided to go to Bombay to look for jobs.There will sure to be jobs available for me and nobody is to stop me this time.I am going to get a job and bring my hard-earned money back,to cure my mother's illness and to buy rice and meat for us to eat.However,how am I able to go to Bombay?I did not have any money for my transportation.I think I need to wait for Biju and go to Bombay by his boat.Even if his is boastful,but he sometimes can really came into good use.
Now.let's hope that all will go smoothly according to my plan.Please...
