A village is an ideal place to live. It is the marvelous gift of nature to man. It is written in the Bible that, “God made the country and man made the town “. Life in a village is living close to nature. There are lush green fields everywhere, ad the air is fresh. Villages are free from all types of pollution that are typical of city life.
In a city there are all kinds of pollution. People have no time for interaction with their family members or neighbours. Interaction is very superficial and formal. Customs, culture and tradition can be well seen in villages. In cities people are aping the west. Several different varieties of birds are seen in villages. In the morning, one can hear cuckoos singing melodious songs. One can also enjoy the dancing of peacocks in the fields. The spread out plumage of peacocks sparkles in all seven colors as if studded with diamonds. It is a real feast to the eyes. The fruit trees are laden with parrots and parakeets. Pigeons of black and white color can be seen in great numbers.
The water from the wells and hand pumps tastes very sweet. Fruits and vegetables that ripe naturally taste very good. Everything is in the purest of form. Margo trees that grow in the yards of the houses purify the air. Lush green fields swaying with the wind delight everyone. The fragrance of wet earth, sandal wood trees and mustard flowers create a hypnotic charm. Villagers are very gentle, simple and helpful. Life in a village is joyous. PJ Harvey said, “People have a tendency to see country life through rose-colored glasses.” But, I feel that life in a village is rosy as there is peace, harmony and love everywhere.
