Life Then ...

City life .... most of them feel that its a prestige to stay in the cities !! when i was young i used to stay in a colony ..this was in the middle of the jungle with aorund 200-250 houses ...the whole place was like a well knit family ... most of them knew most of the people and the happenings in theire lives ... lots of get togethers wud be happening ,.. i still remember my mom and aunties of the colony excahnging the dishes what they prepare .... the share whatever special they have prepared with atleast a couple of them ... then we kids playing together with no fear of getting run over by speeding vehicles ... sit out in the cool breeze whenever there wud b power cuts ... (which used to be atleast half an hour a day ) ..... try to make a garden in the smallest available space in the back yard .... wait for the flower to bloom in the plant we planted .... enjoy each and eevry festival with full enthusiasm irrespective of the region we wud be from ....etc etc ... then the time started changing ...when we came to high school some of my friends moms felt that they shud be shifting to the city as it wud b good for their kids progress ,,, and like this many of them moved out to the city from calm environment and our colony was barraned :(
