My Village My Dream

My Village My Dream

Village. Our root. If we picture a dream of ourselves, the village will surely be there somewhere in that picture. That is the place where the memories of our ancestors stay scattered like seeds. That is why the fragment of a village landscape appears before our eyes like a dream while staring into the falling rain. If we want to see this dream turned into reality, to see the world fill up with nature’s bounty, we won’t be seeing it if the village is left out. The face of a suffering villager makes you feel destitute even in an excess of wealth. The purple sorrow of the rootless floating water hyacinths’ flower strikes your heart. We wish we could fill the village with the joy of a fairy tale. Then the joy of those rootless people would have been ours. All our near ones would have come to us with their blessings. I would have become whole.

But alas! We don’t have that wonderful magic lamp of Aladdin with which we can fill a village with the brightness of beauty. The lamp is not there, but we do have two touchstones. With which we can change the sorrow into happiness. These are our contemplation and effort. Our village can be as bright and beautiful as our dreams if we think and act.

We know that a mere dry leaf can turn into a source of warmth in a cold night. Everything around is our asset in this way. If we put it to use it becomes gold. If we do not, it becomes just dust. And human beings are a resource full of infinite possibilities if we can see it, and follow that path.

Our thoughts can open up that path for these people. The nature of venture is such that it can turn the muddy pathways into the stairs of heaven.

Let us think a bit about our village.
What is our village like? What does it consist of?
How can those things be put to use?
The labour and enterprise of the village people are their strength just as fire is for civilization. How can we put this labour and enterprise to effect?

The problems in villages are making us lose big things. What can we do to prevent it?
We need to put some action to our thoughts for this. Then we will see our village becoming more like our dream gradually. Not only the village but our insides will also be filling with light. Everything around us will seem golden. Life will become meaningful. The feeling of loneliness will vanish. There will be someone to hold on to beside you.

So let us speak up of village. My village. The village which is my root. Let us open our eyes and observe. the environment. Nature. People. Society. Families. Harvest. Business. Production. Economy. Culture. Tradition. Every aspect has a possibility of shining fully if we used our ability to think.

The flowers and fruits spread on the lakes and fields of village (from these flowers fruits can come something that everyone –will adore)
In the corner of the village might be a man who has wonderful lyrics tune or voice that the world will be marveled to know. Or it can be a local scientist, whose discovery can be very useful if we choose to do so.

A family whose living may be based on inherited skills. Their skills can be the source of a whole industry.

It may be a little bit of land that is lying forsaken. If used properly, it too can turn into a resource for the village.
The crops and the products can be improved. Certainly there may be some different food that will be popular in the country.

it may be a vocational or a different kind of school. Or something else that will help to build up the young generation. A contemplation which can flourish like a tree full of fruits n flowers if turned into action.

Problems will be there. Surely the solution will come up too if we can identify it properly. So let’s think. What can I do, for my village?

Let us express our reflections. That is from where our actions will take shape. And when we act it does not remain our own only but it becomes the dream of many. A road is created where we become one another’s companion.


My village my dream is a road like that. We will express our dreams, our thoughts, and our experiences. We will go on to make it real with the touchstone of our enterprise. In this Endeavour we will take part in one another’s dream through our different abilities. It can be through your knowledge, your intellect, your network or other ways. When we realize a dream that is something to be accomplished, we will encourage and inform others. Everyone together in society, along with all institutions- come on, this way we will build the village like a dream.
