Detailed Description

In this 21st century, life has become incredibly fast and restless. In short, 90 per cent of the urban people are originally rural, and when they get urbanised, their age-old native lifestyle goes for a toss. Over the years, they weren't the same people. People lose track in the theatricality and the grandeur of these modern-day mirages. I wonder where we went off the track, and sadly I realise we were never on the track all these years. In this quest for well-being, both in terms of personal and universal means, I have found the fact that re-learning the things is the only way to learn the art of well-being on this modern planet. Nature will help in this process. The human race has always been in closer relation with nature for millions of years, and the fact they adapted to the way of living is that they have very well realised their place in the ecosystem. They also realise the fact that every single life on this planet is linked by a whole lot of cosmic associations. "A rock broken in one corner of the forest will suffocate the fish swimming in the stream running in the other edge of the forest." It's such a super-linked ecosystem. The fact that our planet is full of ecological and sociological problems on every level of the pyramid is just because we forgot our place in the ecosystem. It's a serious blunder that is questioning the fate of this planet, and to sever this fact, we're just ignorant towards this fact and are purposely made blind towards all these so-called modern-day lifestyles. That's where I thought of the fact that we need to re-establish our relation back with the ecosystem. In many rural regions and tribes around the world, the lifestyle is still intact after ages of living in harmony with nature. It's time we start observing and learning from the life in the countryside and develop sensibility and respect towards nature on every level of the pyramid. I believe it's the way to achieve a sustainable lifestyle on this dying planet. Through this project I have made my tiny speck of a move in shedding light on this subject, a subject that we are purposely taught to close our eyes to whenever it floats up. I hope I could attract a few eyeballs on this noble cause essential for the very sustenance of this planet.
