The Time I have spend with nature...

I don"t know why i get very much aggressive in some issues.. yes I am writing this in a very aggressive mood. 1st of all I am sick of this environmental degradation specially pollution and the dust. I am a nature lover. I want to live in the midst of nature. Nature has given me ... me???? only me??? not you??? We all are living in this earth only because of nature... and what we have given in return..pollution, diseases, natural disaster etc etc.

But i can remember some of my childhood days which i have spent in the midst of nature. I have spend my 18 eyers of my life in a village. My village is situated in the southern most part of the Kamrup district of Assam. And my house was surrounded by the paddy field. There was a huge elephant-apple (ou tenga) tree on the next plot of my house.. the tree was full of orchid and "raghumola" “rabonor nai” I dont know what it is called in English or in Hindi... that tree was very huge and old.. it was the shelter for a large no. of birds, including owl and bat... I can still remember the sound that used to come from that tree and the smell of the bat... but that plot was sold to someone. and the tree was cut down. destroying the houses of the birds.. now there is a house for a human. with 24 hour running water.. 24 hour running water!!!! what does it mean, why I have mentioned this??? Let me explain.. once upon a time we required (in my village) only 3-4 pipes(70 feet) for a tube well to get fresh water.. now we need at-least 5 (100feet)pipes to get the fresh water..I hope u have got my point..the water level is going down day by day..

The school I studied till class 10 was one of the oldest school of that area.. in 5th standard when I took admission in the school, was Surrounded by a large no of old trees.. but while I was in class 8 all the trees of the school were cut down..I dont know the region.. {May be the head master has some explanation for this..]

I used to go to Bhaiti Dadas (my uncle) home very often. In fact I have grown up at his place. with my grand ma. Some time I used to return home from his home at night. I had a short cut through the high school filed. At night the whole School field was used be filled with JONAKI porua.
