  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    The following are some of the games which are carried out here. In November bowling with a circular bowl driven by a stick is good fun. In October, and November splintering is great pastime. A lantern is carried out, and the birds get dazzled, and are then killed with a stick. Fishing is carried out from May to September.
    Pitching is carried out. A small stone is got, and people pitch to that stone. Some fish are stabbed with a garden fork with points on top of them and having points turned back to prevent the fish from escaping.
