         11.   ROSES AND THORNS :

It was a mix of amazement and excitement when I first saw my mail which said I am going to Himachal Pradesh. It was so far away from home and my parents were as expected tensed. But I love to travel and decided I will go no matter what and I don’t regret my decision.

The village was like any other village with lot of greenery, small houses and lot of small innocent children huddling around you. But what makes you fall for them is the way they treat you…starting from the oldest people to the smallest children. The children there are not exposed to technology much, hence they still enjoy their childhood the way the it needs to be –innocent, carefree and active. Children in the city may have access to lot of technology …but they are not really living their childhood to the fullest. The children in the village are also really hardworking and respect their elders really well. The elders were also very kind and cooperative.  One thing that disappointed me was the lack of opportunity for the youth in the village. There are some youngsters who are really brilliant who can’t follow their dreams due to lack of knowledge of opportunities or lack of money. It’s the educated youth of India who should guide them and show the way for the ignorant. As Amma says, every student should visit villagers of India and help the villagers in India. India can get so much of potential from the villagers.

       I am really glad to have gone for the internship.

Thank you
