Born and brought up in a city, Sukhdeep has never been to a village in her life. Her best friend Steffie was born and brought up in a village and has shifted to the city only last year. Considering Sukhdeep's ignorance in some aspects of science, Steffie invited Sukhdeep to her village. After informing her parents, Sukhdeep accompanied Steffie to her village early next morning. Sukhdeep liked the idea of visiting the village. Steffie informed her that she has come here exactly at the time when seeds are sown. After preparing the field, the villagers were sowing seeds using a seed drill.
