VISION FOR A GOOD VILLAGE..( NEW CONCEPT)

This is very difficut to identify Village, its definition also be changed. So any way we missed the close tie among members in a village.. However we need to live happily and healthly. Such factors , many of us not taken importance , we are highly materialistic ambitions. Our aim for that only. but what happend men become more selfish..... Fact is different, more materialistic nature requires tranquility in our body and mind .. so we must practice good relationship with our fellow beings.Only those have good relationship with others , they can do more than that of ohters. Let us share this, begin to contact with other fellowbeings.. and try to keep in touch once in a month with other people in our village ( area) .. This is the new method of living we are trying to develop.. So the village definition also be redefined.. dont think our old village traditions.That we cant reproduce here. Better life through better contact with our fellow beings.
