This is good enough for another thread, but where was the 'romanticising' part in that?

Nobody says that village life is easy - it still rates quite highly in the overall scheme of things for me, though. And I personally will be going back to my village one day. A real village, that is.

I never came from a village, but it is my desire to eventually settle down in a small town. Where things are simple and everyone is happy in their own way.

It was in response to the statement that there are tonnes of people who'd be ready to give up everything and live in a place like that.

How do you define a real village?

Such a place exists only in dreams and movies.

There's no place without problems, Sam. You will lose your anonymity (sic?) in a village - it would be very hard to hide a Yeti in a small town.

Come home and I'll show you.

Else come to Madakki in Wynad where my cousin still runs his little 'estate', where you wake up at 3.30 am and join the 'activity' whether you are on vacation or otherwise.

No no. I don't want to live in a place where you wake up at 3.30. Plan cancelled.

I don't need to do that, I could go 3Kms from my home to the family farm house, which is a pukka village house. No electricity half the time, phone works occasionally, no other house in 200 meter radius, it is surrounded by paddy fields and areca plantation. That's where I shot the Nutty Story report. Anyway, I don't want to get into whose village is more backward contest.

The major factors that stop willing city-dwellers from moving into villages are as follows: Bare minimum medical facilities, sub-standard schools, and bare minimum shopping options. I am currently suffering through all three despite living close to a district HQ, it is still nowhere close to what a large city can offer.
