There's a difference between seeing and believing in what one sees... I guess they are 2 different points of reality.
Many see, few notice, fewer explore ....we let things just pass by ...noticed/ un-noticed
In these last few days I have been traveling to some very remote regions in Jamshedpur.
Regions..I hadnt even heard of before.
The village of "Dobo" across Subarnarekha (Prakhand - Chandil), has changed since I last visited it in December. To look exactly how far things have changed, I ventured farther away, until I was closer to the forests on the foothills of Dalma.
And I realized...if it were not for the river, urbanzation/ modernization would have affected this area, sooner than it has now, true that the villagers have gained an easy passage to the township by crossing the "River's Meet", as also access to the advantages of modernism. However its also true that it has gained the villagers privacy, that is necessary to maintain their traditions, and ecology. Otherwise large areas of land would have been used up by contractors and promoters.....
Between civilization and wilderness...
Matladih = Shankarpur = Dobo = Dholkocha = Dongagaral.......
The experiences have been too ...bizarre....waiting to go back to regions...this time...farther on...I am waiting to get "carried away"...
