Indian History


Take Away:
Appreciate what you see today for you may not get to see them tomorrow!

I stumble upon a few books on indian history and it was as if i entered a time machine.It is a privilege to be born in an era where things have advance and modernize which sometimes is taken for granted.Very easy to cast away some things of the past as 'olddddy' which yield many insights of the development what we to day.At a mature age when i look back i am amaze at the way things were and how people manage life.Here a few things that got my attention:

The door of past used to be very fancy and it took the worker 3 years to complete with a pay of $8 a day!

The stone grinder is another thing which is a rare sight.With the ease of blender no one is going to lift that stone to break out into a sweat.


Talk to your elders and find how their life was,picking some history so that you will be able to appreciate what you have got and not take it for granted.
