I feel myself a fortunate soul who got the privilage to leave in a small vilage,a big town,a metro city and also in the foreign land. Leaving in all these places has enriched my life with some very memorable experiencs. Inadvertently comparison between all these life styles was inevitable and here are few thoughts on this.

The time I spent in my village near Pune is the time I cherish most. Life  there is cool,no worries about what is happening in the fast paced urban life.Everyone leaves in the present. No high aspirations.People are mostly worried about how to earn two time meal and are engrossed in the day to day activities to satisfy this need. Fresh air and green vegeatbles directly from farm keep mind and body healthy.

Comparitively pace of life in metro like Mumbai is too consuming. Everyone is
running endlessly to move up and up the social hierarchy. Here also there are different flavours. People in a big town like Pune like to live in their own world while necessity for cooperation makes people in bombay open,more social,talkative. Acceptance is easy in Bombay.In Pune you wont talk with strangers but in Bombay it is a commomnplace.

Anyways its a small world everywhere. There are similarities and differences and they make things interesting
