Hello Friends,
When the human mind is full of sadness, many beautiful things seem colorless. My guess is that every human being in the world is under stress right now. There is no place where you can go out and breathe deeply. Everyone wears a face mask to protect themselves from the Corona virus. It has been thought that coronaviruses are only spreading in urban areas. But after this Eid holidays, it has spread widely in the countryside as well. This is really a great concern. So, no one is in a good mood in this situation.
Today I am going to share few pictures of our roots. Here you will find pond, nature and most importantly the swings but all those are monochrome mood.
There are very few people among us who have not enjoyed tree swings in childhood. I should say those were traditional swings and quite different than the modern swings which our kids used to play with. My kids went to their grandmother’s house and requested to make swings for them. Their grandfather could not avoid that request and had to make one for them.
Village is our root. The affection and peace of the dusty nature of the village is never found in the materialistic city. Playing in the open field, swimming in the pond is just a dream for our kids. They can enjoy swimming in the pool but that is again artificial. Their feet will not reach to the clay underneath, only the concrete instead.
My kids will never feel the joy of collecting mangoes in the stormy weather. We used to had a competition of collecting mangoes when there was storm. All these are stories and history now for our kids.
So, I always say and believe that we should introduce our kids with our culture. There is no harm of learning other language and culture, but the native one should be inside the heart. Then only they will be capable of differentiating between good and bad.
Thanks.
Stay safe and healthy.
