This post is about a feeling , A feeling i had when i was so close to nature.
I went on a visit to my own village after so many years.
I had everything set, Camera Loaded, and i decided to revisit every single place i used to wander as a child.
Lot of things had changed.
My School, my play ground, the tiny shop where i used to buy chocolates, big tree which gave me shade when i played in summer,
the entire colony , i could spot who stayed where, the garden my village had , the tiny winy roads.. and i could go on..
I had a good visit to memories lane. It was so good to get back to the place where you have lived your childhood.
But that's not it. I have lot more to share. Its about the change i observed.
I felt like i was in the natures lap.
My heart pounded and my breath puffed in the crisp air. The empty roads made me happy. Life in a village is so simple.
People are so innocent.I saw kids playing on the ground,
the feeling when i woke up to the sun rays that kissed my cheeks peeping through the window in the morning, the chirp of birds was melodious( they were so many, i couldn't even recognize them),
the creeper i spotted near my home had so much to tell and how can i miss the animals, many of them, and they wandered like it was their home, like monkeys, the sheep, Dogs, pigs, cows , buffalo, cat
i even spotted rabbits and some where i felt i had lost the link with nature we are so far away from all of this in cities.
I was irked when i got to know that my dads office was just 5 mins by walk from our residence,
I waste almost an hour in traffic , and all it gives me is stress and headache.
Between all these tall apartments and Shopping malls, the bond with the nature has grown weak.
I felt the atmosphere in the village gave me Vibrant feeling and positive vibes helped me relive the stress.
I wan't to live in a village, because people lead a simple life there and their desires are few.
They are content with what is endowed by nature around them.
I had carried my camera, to capture the beauty of nature. But when i got blended with the life in a village,
i avoided to take the pictures, Because, Some things are to be felt ,
they can't be captured through camera....

Nicely written swati :)
