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. |
