City lights burn brighter than kerosine lamps, but never warmer.

शहरों को आबाद ही आबाद किये जा रहें हो,
कभी गाँव की गलियों में भी जाकें देखिये,
देश में कहा विकास हो रहा है?

"What's the big deal in it" the boy from the village and new to the city, chewed the cud after seeing every body getting panicked on the news that "Due to severe fault there will be a power cut in the city for the next 48 hours".

Villages. The word itself has the ages that elucidates the unremitting bond with humans. We have the meritorious roots of our civilizations and families begun there. Notably, our unexcelled childhood memories, respectful conceptions and enticing grand parents still be located in that slowly desolating places. They are most equanimous places. They have trees growing since eons, lakes drifting with blooming flowers and houses which enamours real people of the old and legitimate world. They have wonders. They have the past of human eras. Humorously, they have the future too. If our eminent and sedulous scientists turn their eyes to villages instead of planets that doesn't even match our time, our future could be secluded in our hands. Obviously, the modern era must realize that barren lands of extraterrestrial lands are not as worthy as our green nourishing lands. Our typical human race never snug what once was ours because we already used it. We are humiliatingly orthodox.

Amidst the greenery,
A house exists
In between the thorns
of the city life,
Villages somehow survive
in utmost peace and serenity
Away from the chaos and mess
Villages have a different level
of calmess and undisturbed tranquility

கண்ணுக்கெட்டும் தூரம்
தானாய்த் தழைத்திருக்கும்
சீமைக்கருவேல மரங்கள்

பார்ப்பதற்குப் பரிதாபமாய்
பச்சைக் கடலின் நடுவே
பாலைத் தீவுகளாய்
கிராமங்கள்

நீரில்லாப் பாலைவனத்திலும்
சாதியெனும் விருட்சமொன்று
விழுதுகள் நீட்டி கிராமங்களை
விழுங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கின்றது

ஊருக்கு
உள்ளேயும் வெளியேயும்
விசங்களின் சாகுபடி
எப்போதும் அமோகம்

India needs smart villages.
Not smart cities.

शहरों की चमकती लाइटो में,
गाँव की लालटेन की रोशनी कही खो गई
ए इन्सान तू कितना स्वार्थी है,
तेरी चाहतो की वजह से,
किसी और की दुनिया अंधेरी हो गई ।

-

Let the cities rot, move back
to the lands that are still feeding us
even though we have left them,
the future lies in the villages,
the lands which can produce what is
needed to live not in the places
where life is not created rather
destroyed.

लंबे- लंबे तार, पीपल , बरगदों की जगह
उग आयी है ऊँची - ऊँची अट्टालिकाएं,
अभी शहर का साम्राज्य और बढ़ेगा ,
मर रहा है गाँव ,
चलो उससे कुछ दुख - सुख बतियाया जाय।
