You will feel happiness under the tree. Full of trees on road sides. Two trees for each house. Big and tall Neem, Banyan. Tamarind, mango and different trees are there.
Quail, Hens, Parrot, crow, sparrow different birds flying there. Gill, Squirrel, Rabbit different animals were playing there.
There the people would be healthy and happy.
It was the greatness' of him. The credit goes for the trees planted person.
He not a great man, only ordinary person. He had no education. His name was Boya Earanna. His family was very poor. Eranna was appointed as a tree grower man in the colony. It was the colony of co-operative weavers. Machani Somappa was the founder of the handloom weaver Society and the colony.
His salary very low, but he satisfied.
He planted many plants, and sprinkled water. And he, protected them from the animals. He has done work hard. After some years, the plants turned as big trees.
He was my best friend. In the period my age was twenty years. He helped me in growing kitchen garden. I would interested in trees planting. I invited him many times for lunch. He liked our food. Jwar Roty and Yellowgram Dial our main food.
Years passed, Machani Somappa passed away. After president death, Society dismissed him from the services, at that time his age was fifty five years. That's the reason, he turned as old, no energy in his body to do the job.
His family members left. He built a small hut under trees near the canal. A little garden was there. Those the were his planted trees.
He was living alone. He was eating fruits,Â
One day suddenly a big tree was fallen down on the floor. He saw it, and that he thought. ` I should go one day like this'. `I am near to God''.
The next day there were gathering people. I went there to see, a dead body was there.
Some people made a wooden burial box for his dead body from the down Fallen tree. After then colony people buried him.
The Machani Somappa statue stood in a good center. All people are seeing.
No his statue there, but Boya Eranna alive always in those trees.
Now the colony people cutting the trees for new construction. It is a great sadness.
