Ninety Six

I went to my native place. When you go back to your village after a year, you will observe many new things. The most striking observation about our generation who moved from village to city is no social connection in either of the places. You come to a city with your own culture and customs and find it difficult to assimilate and make social connections. But my daughter who is born in the city is in perfect sync with social fabric here. Twenty-six years ago I have left my village. I know people from my generation, but not the new one. A sea of change has taken place in the village during this period and I found it difficult to connect. So neither I belong in the city nor in the village.
