Review of Masjid Para Village:
“When the sky was clear, we would get a glance of snow capped Kanchenjunga mountain from our terrace.
Further, there was river quite distant from our home, on Saturdays we used to go to catch fishes. We would land our small palm carefully into the water seeking the fish; in turn we would land up playing with tiny fishes that slipped from the openings from our fingers.“
However, a lot has changed now. The wooden bamboo bridge over the river is replaced by a concrete one. The madrasaa has been replaced by a school. We no longer get the view of Kanchenjunga.
But once a home, the village will always be a home!“
