 Getting here

I leaved my house at 5:30pm to reach the church. My brother also came with me. It took us 10 minutes to reach there. The road is too narrow so there is danger of having accidents. On reaching we firstly met some people near the church we asked them about the church.  But they don't knew enough as they were young. So we waited for an old man  who may be knowing briefly about the church. Finally at last we met an old man. I asked him about the church. He gave us information about the church. He also told us about khandi khuris. After getting some information about the road which lead to khani khuris. I started walking along with my brother. It took 11minutes to reach as we were walking asking about the road information when we reached there, we found that it was very peaceful, calm, silent place and the best part is that it is surrounded by green field n a small lake giving a panoramic view.
