Rustic Rumblings

Villages anywhere are beautiful

Life is so calm and peaceful.

Rustic surroundings, and human settlements,

Warm relations and calm temperaments 

Traditions observed with full commitments

Young and old, love to be its real participants 

In every festival, function fair or other events.

Village life is dominant in folklore and superstition

Tribals, natives, and villagers make it that much more prominent 

Culturally rich in arts, craft, and dramatization,

Growing crops, pulses and getting byproducts in association 

India is a land of villages, 

Its backbone is in the tilling of its acreages

Along with handlooms and many kinds of handicrafts  

Beekeeping and basket weaving also is an art 

Villagers love to sing and dance on every occasion

It is their only culture for revelry and recreation 

Tradition and culture are the backbones of village sectors 

Whatever be the progress, they remain rooted in their ancestors

Simple in nature and deep-seated in culture 

Tradition being their life and succor

Observing and following rituals and customs 

Of Gods, Goddesses, and other systems 

They remain true to their belief and convictions 

For their village is only their source of attraction 

Urban living is catching up with their imagination 

In spite of this, there is little progress in education

Movies and other mass media are tickling their anticipation

Drawing them slowly to cultural transition.

Today's generation is aware of its rites and traditions 

But are into more skilled and winsome occupations 

A foot in their soil and another in their dreams and expectations 

Village Belle's and boys are slowly unfolding their limitations
