Recently I spent a few days in Garhwal hills.
It was not jungles.
Those of us who live in Metro cities with all facilities like transport, power back up and most the basic infrastructure might find living in place like Garhwal hills very different, amazing.
One can walk for miles in clean pollution free atmosphere,without diesel fumes something which one can't even think of doing in Delhi or Mumbai.
One day, I had gone for a walk and having done that for a few Kms,I saw a man walk down the hill........Bidi in hand, whistling away to glory, a bag on his shoulders, shoes in bad shape, a small tin box carrying tools like a screw driver etc, singing a Pahadi song. Out of curiosity I asked him as to where was he coming from? Stove repair…smilingly, was his answer. This man walked up and down that steep hill to a house to repair a stove. And what did he charge for repairing a stove? Rs 5/ ?.This man claimed that he earns almost Rs20/day out of such repair jobs and is able to provide for his family.
He owns a house.
AND NOONE TALKS POLITICS.
Compare that to living in Delhi or Mumbai.
It is living in concrete jungle.
Visit charges of an electrician or a plumber are Rs 150/
Apartment costs nothing less than a couple of Crores.
No day is complete without having to inhale diesel fumes.
Pollution levels are something one can actually feel.
Noise pollution is deafenning.
Walking down the street could be a fatal.
Try and figure out if stress has let you whistle in recent past.
AND EVERYONE TALKS POLITICS.
How I wish I could spend my retired life there up in the hills.
BUT,I CAN NOT REPAIR STOVES.

It is heartening to see that our hill stations have maintained their virgin beauty. Far from the madding crowd the innocent habitants live in the the world of their own.
We enjoy those things that are not readily at hand.Those who live there might find life terrible.
true but now hill towns are also catching up with towns and cities. Trees and jungles are being removed to make way for hotels,shops and more hotels. This I observed on my trip to Simla last year.
I noted my comments but they seemed to have vanished.
Better be careful as the daily earnings of this guy Rs 20 is far below the mandated figure of Rs 26 set forth by Mr Montek Singh.

Even, I have visited some such places, which is totally free of any kind of pollution, and everything green, with people happy with whatever they can earn, no grudges, rat race.
I often wished, I could live like them.
In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. In other words, I don't improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.

As the vendor releases the ball, the same numbers cross each time, increasing the chances that the ball ends up resting on the same portion of the wheel repeatedly. Many betting techniques are offered on-line and purport to enable the player to 'beat' the odds. One such system was marketed by Jason Gillon of 바카라사이트 Rotherham, UK, who claimed one might 'earn £200 daily' by following his betting system, described as a 'loophole'.
