Global Warming

08th April 2024

Village: It's so hot! Just the beginning of March and we are sweating. All because of city people. Your urge to grow and progress fast has impacted us innocents so badly, despite us being negligibly involved in it. We still have to take the brunt."

City: We sweat all year round. There is nothing wrong with it. And if you find our progress so problematic, why do your people try to move to the city so desperately? Isn't that wrong?

Village: You successfully manage to lure them with your comfort, luxury, and glamour. By the time they realize what will be the consequences of their act right now, it will be too late.

City: The farmers either sell their lands and relocate to cities or are neck-deep drown in debt and end up committing suicide. In either case, villages lose people to live in them. Till the time progress does not come to villages, this will keep happening. Have you thought about your plan of action?

Village: I genuinely do not have any plan of action. Your definition of progress is different than mine. My progress does not harm others in its growth. Your's does. Cutting forests and making concrete jungles is inviting global warming. Heat increases by 1° C or 2° C every year. Rains have become unpredictable, which has caused huge losses to farmers. For now, people are choosing you. But I know, one day, farming will be a respectable profession and a village address will be a sign of pride.



News Flash:
“There has been a multifold increase in the number of applicants for different courses in agriculture colleges of India. Last year we received close to 5 lakh applications across agriculture universities of India as against the average 84,000 to 1 lakh applications normally. The girl-student ratio has also increased to 49 percent from around 23 percent in agriculture universities, said Dr RC Agrawal, deputy director general (agricultural Education), ICAR.
He said a total of 6,000 seats are reserved under ICAR across various agriculture universities in India. (11/03/24)

Village: Hahaha!! See, I just said! And now I will not have to wait for that day. I am telling you again, that harming others in our way of progress is not the REAL progress. Remember that always!
