When our Grandparents were like us...(IMP for School level articles)

 "Nostalgia hurts, nostalgia chills, Life is much more than Facebook friends and Instagram reels."



If I compare the today's world with the time of my my grandparents, we could easily observe how modern were they at their senses, attitude and psychology which are congruent with the psychology  which are incongruent with the pride of the new age modernism. Whatever I could gather from the tales, experiences and documentations of that period, I can easily imagine a world of astounding natural association, socio- psychological and unparalleled way of basic living. The time lacked technology but was filled with superior philosophical traits. They had leisure to introspect , innovate and inspect their thought palace in order to reach spiritual actualization. Their needs were not material driven and less in quantity. They focused on proper improvement of life through natural process. The society of that period was based on anthropological relationships devoid of heinous rivalry, competition and hectic egoism etc. unlike today. 

Exceptions always prevail but the overall image of that period was serene and candid. Each period has its pros and cons. Past is not past but a time that couldn't last. Socio-political imbalances, lack of economic growth, low level of infrastructure affected the development and effectiveness of the period. It is obvious that they were not effective but they were sometimes efficient in some cases but technically they were lacking objectives because of obscure educational and economic opportunities. But it is undeniable that the developers of future are the revolutionaries of the past. 

I would like to go back to the past to bring back the contemporary philosophy of life, associative approach with nature and its sustainability and the joy of simple living and solve the limitation of today to exemplify the present to the future.
