“Our task of storing seeds involved keeping them in our mud granaries. We kept other seeds separately for eating. These were traditional mud granaries made of mud from our ancestors' time, and they were used for farming.”
“हमारा बीज बसाने का जो काम था वह हमारे मिट्टी की कोठी होती थी उसमें हम बीज रखते थे बाकी बीज खाने के लिए अलग रखते थे यह हमारी पारंपरिक दादाओं के वक्त की कोठियां मिट्टी की बनी होती थी और खेती को।”
