I have never gone to a village,but my friends say me  about their village and I imagine pictures. And in some movies also I saw most of the people in village, they finish their work as early as possible by evening and they all gather at one place and chit chat . I like the way they time pass rather seeing some motion picture in television

Though our village (Cheppad) is free from the hustle and bustle of  typical city life, our village do hosts 'The Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant' operated under NTPC Limited, in its heart as a flagship of technological advancements, giving requisite care to nature and natural resources and emerging as a  technological embodiment where we the villagers and our village as a whole with its diverse biodiversity serves to be a part.
Thus our village in one way is a hub for technological developments without compromising the need for a diversified ecosystem; and I really feel happy to be a part of my village.

It is the traditional ritual practices that in one way binds a community and we used to say that our soul lies in the bliss of those festivities. We too have something like that called the Kolam Varavu Pooja which symbolizes the victory of Devi Durga over the demons. It is believed over generations that our wishes will be satisfied once we offer the same. The festive or ritual, projects out the communal harmony of our village (Cheppad) and it highlights our culture. Wherever in the world we are, this festive really means something to us and we all try to be a part of the same.

Even though there are plenty of options to conserve the rich biodiversity of the world, I am blessed to have so many sacred groves in and around my house where our cultural legacy towards protecting our environment; by worshipping he same as god, lies. The folktales which were passed on from generations to generations made an imbibing connection of ours to the ethnicity of sacred groves and we the current generation do engage in its conservation. There is always a pleasant feeling when we are near to the sacred groves and even though being smaller units, they are rich with a wide variety of smaller species that in one way or other way serves nature. Thus I can proudly say that I am also a part of my village (Cheppad), where we consider protecting the nature as our heritage.

Though we are blessed with plenty of rain in monsoons, we still face water scarcity during summers and the situation just worsens as we go uphill. Because as expected of villages almost every household relies on groundwater for there needs and since we do not have any rain water harvesting systems the groundwater does not get recharged enough and then people start using extreme measures to get water, as in they try to dig tube wells, exploiting the nature or rather destroying it. Hence the change I want is to have rain water harvesting systems installed in all the houses in this village.

I live in a small village in the Kottayam district and I could not ask for a better place to live in. I have spent my childhood in a city so I can clearly distinguish the quality of life. There is a lot to explore in this village, we have hills with streams of water flowing down the rocky natural stairs near my house, this is the beauty you could experience only in monsoons. It was fascinating when I first discovered and explored the hill using this rocky path uphill. Then we also have a brook or rivulet at the bottom of this hill. This particular place holds lot of memories as we used to catch fishes using a piece of rag cloth with my grandfather. Though sometimes the lack of certain resources and the insects can disturb your otherwise peaceful life, I am still proud to be a part of this village and I could write a whole book about the diversity of flora and fauna here.

Below picture was taken during the rainy season when lakes are filled and I went out with my friends and we found a small land in the middle of lake , so I asked my friends to go and I took a picture and the place was so beautiful and there were so many people playing there and enjoying the nature. At that moment I felt very happy for living in village and enjoying small small things which most people cannot.

I myself live in village , though I like my village but I even like it more when it rains because when it rains then it is sure that there will be a rainbow appearing at the end and when I see it I get a positive feeling and it makes me very happy . Below I am uploading a picture that I took when I was playing with all my friends at the field.

Village, mostly the name implies crops,cattle,etc.i've been to a village in AndhraPradesh in Prakasam district, there the living style of people is completely different people greet each other with relations and there are crops, so much greenary, We cannot assume everything is good just by seeing the outerpart in most the movies they will show like they have to keep a factory near a village because of irrigation land or water supply etc.So the problem starts like villagers will get less wages or their water gets polluted etc. In my opinion I guess some of the villages dont have proper roads, sanitaion, pure drinking water, schools, proper education etc. If they want all these they have to walk miles.
