Generally people living in cities do not like village life. They are so much accustomed to the noisy and brisk life of the cities that they fail to see anything attractive in country life. However, rural life has its own charms and attractions. The climate of a village is much better than that of a city. In the city, atmosphere is filled with smoke and dirt. Factories and congested houses make the whole atmosphere very injurious to health. In village fresh air and healthy surroundings make it an ideal place for enjoying a calm and quiet life.
In cities people of course have many amenities of life. They live in well-furnished houses. They have means of entertainment like cinema houses, clubs and societies to enjoy their leisure. But village life is also not devoid of its amusements. We can enjoy long walks in open fields, valleys and on the banks of rivers. Very healthy and simple games are played which bring pleasure and remove the dullness of the village life. Kabaddi, wrestling, races, volley-ball are games generally played in villages.
In the summer the villagers rest under shady trees, bathe either in canals or in cool water drawn out of the wells. They live in the airy kacha houses which are quite cool in spite of heat prevailing outside. They do not need electric fans and air conditioners.Summer nights in villages are really very pleasant.Villagers lie in the open and cool breeze lulls them to sleep with the result that they get refreshed by a sound sleep.
Rainy reason is the most pleasant season in the villages. Villagers bathe in the showers of rain.Children play games in water and splash it on one another. The whole atmosphere looks fresh and charming with the birds chirping in fruit laden trees. The winter has its own charms for the villagers. They bask in the sun sitting or lying in open fields. Sugar cane crushers are at work at different places.they drink the refreshing juice and eat the gur and sugar that is prepared out of it. Fresh vegetables, pure milk and butter are abundantly available there. Villagers are sage from the injurious effects of adulterated food. Therefore, they enjoy good health and live long.
All the day long they are busy in healthy occupations.in the evening they sit in the Chopal and gossip round the Hookah. They talk about different local matters.Sometimes they enjoy songs to the tunes of flute fairs,festivals and marriages are their special occasions for rejoicing, merry-making dancing, singing and masquerading.
Pollution is perhaps the worst aspect of modern living. It is the biggest negative point of city life. This pollution is causing various complicated diseases in modern age.
Our villages can still boast of clean air. The only thing they lack is modern facilities like education and health care. If proper attention is given to this side, village life can be made more attractive. It will not only make villages still better places to live but will also stop the exodus of population towards the cities.
