Life these days...

I am wfh due to extended diwali vacation. My 2 cent from a rural place in India which has preserved its individuality till now.

Children's play under sun 🌞 and have group of 10 kids. They ain't worried about anything. Their happiness index > ceos.

They don't know about masturbation till 10th or age 14 if they don't have a smartphone.

My workplace is open and aqi is below 10. Strong peepal and banyan trees 🌴 even 100y old. When I feel stressed due to any reason I just go to see sunset near my place hardly 2km away. It's a stress buster with earbuds in and watching migrant birds crossing river.

Ain't those birds more free and independent than us? Like they don't give a damn 🕊️ about future and enjoy the present.

Very less car and almost 0 traffic ⛔. People still use bicycles and cycle repair shop>garages.

Life is slow and peaceful. People go to sleep at 9-10pm and wake up at 5-6am.

Life is too easy. Cost of a family with 2acre land is hardly 25k/m here.

Sometimes I wonder why chase 2 lac/month sacrificing so much in a so called developed city.

Society is ambivert. Pizza 🍕 🍔 burger biryani is trying to enter these areas.

But I don't miss swiggy.

Zeptonis redundant here.

My 💳 credit card is lying there thinking why am not swiping it...

यहाँ कोई मित्र नहीं है, कोई आश्वस्त चरित्न नहीं है, सब अर्धनिर्मित है। अर्धनिर्मित इमारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित बच्चों कि शरारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित ज़िन्दगी कि शर्ते हैं, अर्धनिर्मित जीवन पाने के लिए लोग रोज़ यहाँ मरते हैं।

अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ के प्रेमियों का प्यार, अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ मनुष्यों के जीवन के आधार आज का दिन अर्धनिर्मित है, न धूप है, न छाओं है, मंजिल कि डगर से विपरीत चलते पाँव है।

अर्धनिर्मित सी सेहत है, न कभी देखा निरोगी काया को, न कभी दिल से कहा अलविदा माया को, हमारी अर्धनिर्मित सी कहानी है, अर्धनिर्मित हमारे युवाओं कि जवानी है।

हुम रोज़ एक अर्धनिर्मित शय्या पर लेटे हुए एक अर्धनिर्मित सा सपना देखते हैं, उस सपने में हम अपनी अर्धनिर्मित आकांक्षाओं को आसमानों में फेंकते हैं।

I also read that our immunity is low these days because we are not exposed to the good bacteria when we used to play in dirt and grass.

Much needed post. Need more natural ways for happiness
