Village lifestyle- the taste of eternal India.

-

New generations are very much attracted to western culture and therefore the fragrance of soil has been moving out of their lives. Instead of living in Indian cities, we are missing the essence of the true Indian lifestyle. We are missing the chirping of birds, the ringing of bells, the smell of cow dung and dung cake, the chaos created by several children playing together, not only these but also the sweetness of our regional languages.


                                                                                                                                         

Village lifestyle includes the culture of daily gatherings of elders where they talk about politics, crops, each-others daily happenings, and similarly other topics. They always reach out to others for help if they need any kind of support. Festivals celebrated in villages signifies the character of those festivals. Festivals' celebration should not be judged over the packet of overpriced sweets, instead, people coming together and celebrating together should be the real motto behind them.

Our history has also evolved from the village culture, it is justified by several things pointed out there. Like Britishers used to forcibly occupy their farming land or ask them to grow the crops they wanted. And also they had to pay taxes for growing crops, which later led to Gandhi Ji's Champaran satyagraha. Before that also, there was the existence of the village lifestyle where people used to exchange items as per their requirements. Still, these scenes can be only visible in villages

If someone is living in town, the village is their favorite destination to chill and relax. When we were children, we loved to visit grandmother's place during our vacations to enjoy the warmth of the village and the people living there. People over here just have their own values and also they are being respected. If you visit someone's house, they will not allow you to leave before eating food. The culture of greeting others whenever you cross someone, either you know them or not.

Growing up in villages brings a different type of discipline in yourself like the early rising with natural rooster alarm and other healthy habits along with other physical activities, also are stronger than the children of their age growing up in town. These children will spend their most time with soil-related activities such as wrestling on soil or simply rolling over the soil. They are also mentally stronger because they face many problems in their daily life, but they also know how to deal with them.

One of the most important parts of the village is farmers. When you watch them working in their fields tirelessly, you will enjoy your food more than ever in your life. Irrespective of the weather conditions, they work effortlessly without thinking of their own health, just because to ensure that their countrymen do not sleep with an empty stomach. They are themselves an inspiration to watch. This all is only possible in a village.

Lately, things are little changed. Electric and water supply has knocked most of the doors. Public sanitation has improved, the government had to be given mostly credit. You may also find shops with your daily requirements. Educations have improved but still, the below poverty lines mostly reside in the Indian villages. Women are not seen actively participating in works other than household as compared to towns, they are still behind the curtains playing an important role in their respective families.

Irrespective of all the differences between the villages and towns, nature has been more kind towards villages. It seems like god has not fairly distributed its amenities between towns and villages, he has been partials towards each of them in their respective fields. The greenery around you in villages and the lately added amenities will certainly attract you towards them. Everything around you seems to be natural, and India has been lucky enough to have more than 6,50,000 villages. Hence, India is known as the country of villages.

Myanmar: Democratic pillars fall apart

-
Image
  This is not the first time when democracy had been murdered in Myanmar. So, it is unlikely to say that Myanmar is an example of Democracy. They gained their independence from the British Empire in 1948 and became a democratic nation. But it never lasted long in their history as, after 10 years in 1958, they were under military control for the first time. It lasted for nearly more than 50 years. Finally, the military dictatorship was officially dissolved in 2011, followed by a general election in 2010. Aung San Suu Kyi emerged as the leader of democratic Myanmar. But again 2021 was the year to be specially mentioned in the history of Myanmar. On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military arrested the civilian leaders of the national and state governments and announced a one-year "state of emergency." The military arrested leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and several dozen other senior officials in early morning raids in the capital, Naypyidaw. The officials were in ...

4g restoration & barring mobile internet services cannot justify, Government's policy against democracy

"The democracy of India represents the world's biggest democracy." This statement is justified because of the Indian constitution, which provides every citizen of India with various kinds of freedom. Indians enjoy those freedoms which are protected by our constitution and have the power to dethrone any government after every five years. All these years, the three bodies Judiciary, Legislative and Executive have been deployed to protects the rights that we enjoy. Earlier Jammu and Kashmir were given special status according to Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which conferred them to have the power to have a separate constitution, a state flag, and autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The only reason behind the special status was the dispute between India and Pakistan, since 1947. On 5 August 2019, the government of India issued a Presidential Order making all the provisions of the Indian Constitution applicable to the state. In addition, the Jammu...

Supermarket: The Paradox of Choice

  Do you ever wonder that when you step out of a supermarket, the purchased item is the same as the list you thought before stepping in? "Two-third of what we buy in the supermarket we had no intention of buying," says various consumer experts. You need not get very much surprised because supermarkets are the ones who encourage you. From the point of your entrance to the place where you exit, every aspect of the store's layout is designed to stimulate shopping interests. When you enter a supermarket, you will find mostly fresh items near the entrance such as flowers, vegetables, milk, and their products. These are placed there because when you walk in and find something that smells great, and simultaneously builds the notion of 'fresh' that attracts us. Then we can find bakery products and grab-to-go items such as snacks, bottled water. These items get your salivary glands going and start feeling hungry and intended to buy more food items. In the middle of the sto...
