5 days in a village

by | 18-10-2015 16:12 recommendations 0

My school took us to a 5-day village trip. We were travelling by bus and so, were exposed to all the dirt and dust coming our way. One can't really imagine how polluted the surroundings looked until they get a first-hand experience. Even after  we shut all the windows, the atmosphere outside was horrible. No one would like to breathe in such polluted air but, we're helpless and have got used to it. Patna is the second-most polluted city of India, just after the capital New Delhi. 
When we reached the village, I couldn't help but notice the calmness and the pollution-free environment. Far from the noises and honks of vehicles, the city lights, mobile phones, internet, life was so relaxing. At night, I could clearly make out the stars and constellations, tanks to the absence of dust floating in the air.
Now that I've returned to Patna after spending 5 days around fresh air, green environment, clear night sky, I think pollution-free environment is more alluring than high-rise buildings and Wi-Fi.

    Yeah , I can relate to you /your feelings as I have also observed the same calm , green and soothing feeling while being in village during my vacation. I wish cities had same greenery and peace like that in village. Village residents are simple minded and consume what they need, they live a sustainable life whereas in cities residents are greedy, over consume, exploit the resources, cut trees to make malls, hotels etc and during that process they kill the natural beauty and greenery of the city. Sustainable development is therefore essential. Thanks for sharing.
