Growing up and attended school although more than half century ago, but the scar of leaving home town and going through life in a miserable environment almost halF century and more and yet this place which has already been ones place after half century still remains back ward and one need to go through with the flow , with heavy heart. This is what I have been experiencing in a place which I have made my place since 27 years ago, after married and followed my husband. From a far advanced community and town to a most back ward or very rural place in a state , which is not any ones choice to buy property or settle permanently, unless the runaways and the migrants and those who find a shelter for them. Both of us me and my husband found a shelter here and started our life, with out any savings or a roof to name. Our kids were born here , grew up in simple environment, attended school and completed school and they had their own friends and members.
Almost after 15 years we were helpless, no one to refer to, no relatives , once is a blue moon my brother visited us. Every holidays I packed my clothing's and my kids and headed to either my siblings place or my in laws place . We hardly spent holidays here in this place, which is to me a hidden world which has not been explored by the experts.
I never ever dreamed or thought in my life much earlier, that I will be stranded at a place like this, Im shocked to learn that most of the communities have not really learnt about their own culture and mastered the daily language they use , not to mentioned about the way of life. Simple dialects and literary not in common use, many still use the ancient currency word " kupang" in their daily life rather than cent. There no word such as exchanging ideas or to teach about something to friends or sharing , even the students seems to be business oriented to teachers and try to market their products. Everyone is materialistic and no spiritual or very less spiritual situations I came across here.
Probably people are not really educated and they just want to market their product and make profit out of it.At this isolated place I bought everything from curry leaves, lemon grass, tumeric, fruits flowers, everytrhing was maney until I found solution all by myself after almost 10 years, to overcome this situation.
