saw a post regarding attractive residential accommodations in exclusive areas....
the idiot and imp in me could not hold back my reaction..
Just repeating what I posted..
"great..
However, for us simple and meek people,
living in a row of houses called agraharam ,
waking up to Chimes of bells in the nearby temples
and the cadence of water splashing on the front of the houses,
some milkman or vendor of vegetables announcing his merchandise,
and Procession of deity in the streets on all festive occasions accompanied by
Nadaswaram, Vedic Chanting and Jayaghoshams in praise of the deities
these all give us a feeling of residing in some place which is heavenly..
And yes, if one door in the row of houses is not open in the morning or if there is a delay in meeting the occupant , other neighbours do not feel it improper to knock at the door and enquire..
And if there is a misfortune like death in a house,
the whole people gather,
the temples are closed
and the problem of one family is taken over as the problem of the whole Agraharm.,
that too without any formal planning..
Maybe I am outlandish in my views...
but..
I an not a prig and I am not alien to comfortable living.. but the simple community living looks really attractive to me.
So much like a life in heaven
