Bangladesh is mainly a rural country. It
gives us the close contact of nature
and refreshes us with fresh air. The
natural beauties of villages, with the
clear blue sky, vast green fields,
flowing rivers, orchards, flowing boats
on the rivers, fishing and singing pure
and fresh foods, the simplest lives of
the villagers at a low-cost make us
weak for the attraction of village life.
But village life is detached from the
gifts of modern science. This results in
the sufferings of the villagers. They
cannot meet even the bare necessities
of life like food shelter, clothes, health,
and education. Lives there become
gradually backward, dull and
monotonous. On the other hand life in
town is quite different from that in a
village in our country. Compare to village life, it is full of vitality, progress,
and enlightments. An atmosphere of
noise and bustle and an air of haste
and unrest with pollutions are part and
parcel of the city life. A city is
overcrowded and life is very costly
here. The city dwellers suffer for want
of fresh air and them long to run back
to the lap of nature. In spite of these
ugly features, life in a city has its
charms also.
