Tension, anxiety, loneliness are the companions of a city dweller. He cannot enjoy the peace, tranquillity, and freshness of nature. If you think, you are educated and qualified for a better job, you just need to come to a city and look for a job.

City life is like a robot-life. We may speak in favor of the country’s life for natural beauties and other things of nature but in spite of that people still hanker after the amenities, comforts and luxuries and similar other charms of city life. City life, though artificial, is yet the attraction of almost all people. People don’t know one another, everyone is busy with their own job. We preach in favor of country life bu,t in practice we like to stay in cities in spite of numerous problems and hardship.
