The rural landscape in our village and others close by to us is changing with new houses under correction. After the respite from the Pandemic, there is a renewed pace with which new houses are coming up along the rural roads.
We need houses to live in! Do we need bungalows and lavishly big independent houses!
We need convenience in our houses. Do we need an imposing structure!
We need space and safety, but do we need to be austentatious!
I hear these issues discussed in different fora as people spend paying up the bank loans almost till they retire from work. If anything is pending to be paid, it is cut from the provident fund, which then reduces their monthly pension.
The level of seeking for comfort has no norms anymore. No wonder we live beyond our means! We fail ourselves when we build a house beyond what we need! we make ourselves debtors which strangle us later.
