Some time back I heard a talk in which a journalist was talking to a group of persons. She was telling that she liked the color green very much and wanted to live in a green environment.
Actually it is the case with me also. I also want to live a green environment.I have given the name "Green View" to my house.
I was born and brought up in a small village. In front of my house was green paddy fields. I had to walk through the fields to reach the nearby road. Just in front of my house was a small stream . All the year round water used to flow through it. In my house compound there was a tank. I used to take bath from the tank.
But after I completed my studies, I shifted to a town in connection with my employment. I had to forget the sweet green surroundings. In the city there was practically, no greenery. Only some small garden in front of the quarter in which I was staying.
I had been to the major cities of India as well as some cities abroad like London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Zurich, Oman, Kuwait etc.It was very difficult to view some green patch any where.
But after retirement from service, I decided to settle in a small town. The surroundings here are almost like that in my native village.
Sitting in the front portico of my house, I can have the sweet memories of childhood.
