# Weird facts about me
I was a 2yr old, my mom went for training, and no one to scold me. I hated medicines, so I used to eat sugar after having them so the taste can go away.
I like darkness and moonlight, I used to roam during the night, and gaze at stars.(in village no one will scold you even if you're outside alone at night except parents)
I like to roam during the days as well, but I don't know how I used to get lost when I'm with my friends. I realised that I'm very bad at directions but I don't know how even while getting lost I used to find my way back home.
My relatives work in a farm, their own farm where they grow rice. So one day I urged them to take me with them, they agreed hesitantly. I saw that they were very skilled in sowing rice seedlings, and they did it very fast.
I thought it was pretty cool, and I also wanted to do it, so they handed me a few seedlings. I started putting one by one carefully into the moist soil, but contrary to my expectations, the seedlings instead of standing straight in soil, became bent after some time and was laying flat in the muddy water.
Planting them only looked easy but it's a very hard job.
I thought I didn't plant them properly so I used a bit of a force and the stem of the plant snapped and I sighed thinking this type of work isn't suitable for me.
So I was just watching them, but at that time I felt something slithery touched my leg. I bent down to see what it is, only to see a snake in the shallow soil. I quickly jumped out from surprise and went towards the grassy area. From that day on I never went there again.
I live in a village, at that time there was a tiger who was roaming in the tea garden, the villiage is close to the tea garden, there was a rumor that a tiger plunged on a man and attacked him.
During this time, children including me were warned not to roam at evening.
As usual I was playing with my friends when I saw it was getting dark I bid them goodbye, and then I was slowly walking towards my home enjoying the view and the sunset, halfway I remembered the rumor about the tiger at that time the sun had already set and I could see some stars in the sky. I looked back and there wasn't a single person on the path, I became frightened and ran all the way home.
Looking back at those times I find myself silly. 😅
These were the moments before I turned 6.
