Love of Open Spaces!

Somewhere between Kollam and Kottayam, I clicked the above picture from the running train. It was about dusk. Kids were still out in this open dry field, playing in wild abondent. Isn’t such a delightful sight to see how kids play in villages. So much open space, which in a city life is restricted to concrete playgrounds. This sight took me back to my childhood, where I too had my share of play time on different turfs.

Now, most part of my life is spend navigating the traffic and spending significant part of time in a glass building.

I’m sure everyone has their share of such memorable moments tucked in their memory folder. BTW, I wish I walked in the open spaces, especially through green rice fields of Kerala. I bet this could be an activity you can do once a quarter or once a year.

Walk in the fields
Take your family or friends for a trip in a village. Stay in one of the hamlets, and witness a day’s activity – from de-weeding the fields to applying the manure, or titling the soil. With eco-friendly tourism on the rise, such kind of trip will be a treat for city dwellers.
