Uncle Jameel told Hamid that the Urban life is much different from the rural life. There is a great hustle and bustle in a city. Hundreds off cars, buses, trucks, rickshaws and motorbikes are seen running on the roads There are some animal driven carts and tongas too. Most of the people in the cities are rather government servents or they have private jobs.In facts , people of all the profesions live and work here. Cemented house, shopping, markets, offices , schools ,collages ,universities ,banks , and parks are found everywhere. Mud house are very rate. Nearly every house has ,water,gas ,electricity and telephone connection. City bus service is available on very cheap rates. Wagons ,taxis , rickshaws and tingas are also used for transportation.
They reached the Liberty Market and parked their car at a parking place, and entered the market.
Nadir , it is som difficult ti walk over there,said Hamid , we must hold each other’s hands so that we may not get lost,
Hamid looked at the departmental stores with big and well decorated shops.He said, These sho are wonderful . I have never seen such huge,beautiful and well decorated stores before this.
Uncle Jameel told the children that a large number of villagers migrate to the cities and towns particularly after the crop season is over. The farmers and traders are attracted to these palce. Here , they can work and earn lots of money. Many educated people who belong to nearby villages ,prefer to settle in big cities.
Sometimes, due to limited housing facilities rural and city folks both face a lot of problems. The urban life is a busy life. One has to run with time.This shows sharp contrast with the rural life style where one has enough time to sit together and enjoy gupshup.
The smoke from chimneys,buses and trucks has badly polluted the city atmosphere. Another major problem in the cities is moise pollution. The loud music and frequent use of pressure horns in the crowded areas cause hearing problems . the fast and unruly traffic is causing serious accidents everyday. The only way to avoid all this is to visit some park , riverside ,garden or a historical place.
There are large number of government and private hospitals and clinics.They have the latest equipments, and primary and secondary schools, collages and universities have been opened in the cities.
Haris: There are places of entertainment like theaters cinemas, museums , zoo and a number of places of historical importance.
Hamid: Now I will tell you about rural life . The rural areas consit of small villages. The inhabitants are mostly farmers and handicraft workers and iother ordinary vendors. They are simple , honest and hard working people. They live in mud houses with no separate kitchen and bathrooms.
Drinking water ,fuel gas and electricity are the most rare facilities . Some of the villages, which are closer to a big town or city have the facility of electricity . Health care units, schools , post offices , banks and roads are very few, and located at great distances. However, nature is quite open , abundant and generous . Fresh air , vegetables and fruit are readily available. Orchards, gardens and lush green fields presnt a pleasant and cooling sight to the eyes.
A person feels peaceful among green trees and plants. The farmers, tenants and other workers provide grains, cotton,vegetable and fruit of all kinds to the whole nation. Use of tractors , threshers and fertilizer by farmers is common. Some poor farmers are compled to use old farming methods due to luck of funds . A large quantity of selected variety of agricultural produce is exported to earn foreign exchange for the country.
It can easily be observed that city life has its own attrations whereas the rural life has its own charms. However , problems are everywhere , which can be solved with education and honest work.
