Once upon a time .....simple life , rich joys ❤️

Tibri ,just three Kms away from our hometown Gurdaspur ,the banks of Upper Bari Doab canal , was our breathing space,our life line where we would go every now and then to have heavenly family picnic . Upper Bari Canal taking off from Ravi River at Madhopur Barrage is an irrigation canal , would carry icy cold waters in summers that served as  freezer to cool the mango packs we used to  carry . Tonga ride to Tibri was another source of amusement . 

This was the place where all the fairs like Baisakhi n Teej used be held ; we watched real Bhangra n Gidhha teams from various villages performing in authentic spirit.

Similar picnic spots nearby were Madhopur and Aliwal where network of canals served to sooth , body , mind and soul in summers . 

 I had my schooling and college education in Gurdaspur. Indebted to my family , teachers and friends for their precious presence in my life .
