Now I would like to describe a place that I visited and which made me feel like I had stepped back in time. So this place was one of relatives home of mine to be more precise my grandma’s elder brother’s home. A few months ago when we went there as a guest with my family I saw what kind of conditions he was living in and from where he was brought up as well he was living in his old home in a village and when I stepped into his home it just brought me back in life when I was only five or six years old when I was living in almost an identical home house and they just made me realize how much our family has grown and became successful and how that old man decided to live as he used to be the rest of his life. Not one good thing about that, it’s almost great to have someone in a village who you can just visit as guests whenever you feel like you want to unwind from the hectic lifestyle style in the city as it was one of the reasons we weren’t there. But there is also one benefit of living in the village. There is always fresh air and the village is, as a concept, small place. You get to know everyone in the village, everyone knows each other, everyone loves, everyone play with each other, everyone contacts each other, which is not the case you can have in big series and it’s just lovely to have such a relatives.

Now I would like to describe a place that I visited and which made me feel like I had stepped back in time. So this place was one of my relatives' homes, to be more precise, my grandma's elder brother's home. A few months ago, when we went there as guests with my family, I saw what kind of conditions he was living in and from where he was brought up as well. He was living in his old home in a village, and when I stepped into his home, it just brought me back to a time when I was only five or six years old, when I was living in almost an identical home. It just made me realize how much our family has grown and become successful, and how that old man decided to live as he used to be for the rest of his life. Not one good thing about that, it's almost great to have someone in a village who you can just visit as guests whenever you feel like you want to unwind from the hectic lifestyle in the city, as it was one of the reasons we went there. But there is also one benefit of living in the village. There is always fresh air, and the village is, as a concept, a small place. You get to know everyone in the village, everyone knows each other, everyone loves, everyone plays with each other, everyone contacts each other, which is not the case you can have in big cities, and it's just lovely to have such relatives.
