Which is better, a city or a country?

It comes to preference. But, both have their own charms. Some people like the atmosphere of a country. The hills, the meadows, the trees, the sweet smell of the mud, the leisure time all are beatific. On the other hand, city life is fast, it is much like a local train. It starts and halts regularly. We do so many things we seldom realize. Village life is preferred by middle-aged citizens, who like the slowness of a country.

One cannot deny there isn’t anything happening in towns. They too are being caricatured into cities. Intelligent bureaucrats and businessmen are eyeing for their next opportunity to make these changes. As we see it, we are making it at a more transient pace than at a swift pace. It is not simple as demand and supply. Supply is huge, every village have acres and acres of land. They are just waiting to be opened for people who want to move there, provided there are facilities for them. People are already buying houses in unknown locations, building small farm houses so that they can separate themselves for sometime from the hectic life of a city.

City life can provide all the necessities and fill our days. Now a days, life moves at a more hectic pace. More and more villages and towns are now being molded to suit city culture and style. Cities have their beaches, offices, schools, hotels, restaurants, parks, museums, aquariums, travel facilities, and other get-aways that village doesn’t offer. But it also has its pollution, its bomb blasts, rising prices of commodities and food stuffs. Cities provide a more viable option. It only says that cities are being preferred over the slow pace of villages. There are more than 65 Lakh villages in our country. It will take an awful time to change them into cities. That will not happen in the near future. Keep our fingers crossed! Stale City air and fresh village air both breathe life into us. They are both sides of the same coin.
