“81 years. It could be my age but I still work every day. My day starts at 5 in the morning with milking my four buffaloes. I then take them out for grazing. I do farming for my survival on our two-acre land. At this stage of my life, I don’t have any big goals. I just love spending time in my village, chit-chatting with my friends. I have two children. My older one is in the driving field and the younger one works in a private firm. Even though they spend most of their time in the city with their work, they always come back to the village during the festive season along with my grandchildren to spend some time with me. My grandchildren love the village atmosphere. I teach them all the things I know about the rural lifestyle and they teach me all about the city lifestyle. I visit the city once in six months. I love traveling in the metro! However, I cannot live in the city for long. I do agree with the fact that development is essential in today’s progressive world. But it’s also important to stay connected to our roots.”
