Carry yourself through life like a newborn baby.Unconditional love,being fully aware and living with grace.Why do we worry so much about an imaginary future,when this very moment is the only time we can truly and fully experience things and make our goals? I believe unshakeable faith is the goal.When you love God so much,you love each and everyone of His creations because of Him,superfluous divisions vanish. From that point onwards,I feel there’s an unexplained harmony amongst all beings.
With my intents of exploring the nature and meeting the people of rural areas, I decided to visit my friend’s village.I love travelling and observing the lifestyles of people living in rural areas. How they manage everything with limited facilities just fascinates me. Saying goodbye to the busy,noisy and polluted environment of my city, I set on my journey chasing open roads and fresh air. The city noise slowly faded behind me and suddenly the landscape changed. Concrete turned into fields and greenery took over.From a distant, I looked at the farmers working quietly under the open sky, completely in rhythm with the land.
I parked my car nearby. I watched them all working silently.I felt calmness and peace of mind and heart.Some moments are just pure.I clicked a few pictures of my surroundings.A farmer was guiding his oxen through the field, another was checking crops with his hands, touching the soil like it could speak back.Their clothes were simple,their faces weathered and there was a strange kind of peace in their expressions.The kind you rarely see in city life.
Their lifestyle inspired me and their connection with nature was beautiful.Farming isn’t a fast work. It revolves around the timings of sunset and sunrise,the seasons, and sometimes the mood of the weather. One farmer told us that a single day of work often starts before sunrise and ends after sunset. That’s almost 10–12 hours of work daily,mostly outdoors in heat, dust,or cold depending on the weather.
I talked with a few farmers and surprisingly I learnt that nearly 40% of the world’s workforce is connected to agriculture.Agriculture uses about 70% of the world’s freshwater so they have tubewells installed all around the fields.Water is very important for crops to grow. When water is scarce,it’s not just a crop that suffers but an entire family’s future.
I visited the local markets and saw their mud houses, handmade tools,animals resting under trees,and children playing near the fields.
Their lifestyle may look simple,but it is disciplined. Farmers are hard working and honest in their work and routines.What you sow is truly what you reap.These fields not only grow crops by they are a symbol of patience, resilience, and life itself.Sometimes, the best journeys aren’t about destinations.It is about stopping where life is real, quiet, and rooted in the earth. I spent a day wandering around the fields. It’s been a beautiful experience.
