From the archive record
As a Common Hawk Cuckoo or Brainfever bird calls in the backdrop, a pair of bulls is harnessed for ploughing fields in the plains of Uttarakhand, near Corbett Park. Meanwhile, village women collect sugarcane stalks after the harvest. The fields are black as the leftover sugarcane stalks in the ground are burned after the tops are cut off. In the latter half, a Kaphal Pako or Indian Hawk Cuckoo is heard calling.
