Riddhi Kumar Instagram – लहानपणा पासुन माझे आई बाबा दर सुट्टी ला आम्हाला गावी घेऊन झाईचे।आई च गाव हे शिर्डी आणि कोपरगाव चे मधी एक सुंदर स “तीनचारी” असा बोलवल्या जात। आमचे आजोबा एक राजकिय नेता, समाजसेवक आणि झामिंदर होते ज्यांनी गरीवी मिटवण्या साठी खूप काष्ठ घेतले, खूप लोकांची मदद केली। आमचे पेरू आणि आंबे चे बाग होते ज्यात वनभोजन करायचो, लाम चार्या जेचात कागदाचे नाव तरंगोल्य जाईचे, गाई चा दूध काढून ते शेण सरवण्या पासुन आम्ही सगळा करायचो। गाड्यां सोबत शेती शिकणा, शेकुटी कर्ण आणि बैल गाडी चे माघे लागून गुपचुप ऊस ओढून घेणं हि आमची एक नाझुक शी डकाईटी आसाईची।
लहानपण आर्ध गावात आणि आर्ध शहरात गेल्या मुळे आम्हाला एक परिपूर्ण शिक्षण मिळाला। माणूस ह्याला नैसर्गिक सुखाची एक आतून आस असते, एक जन्मतः ओढ अस्ते आणि तेच निसर्ग आपण वाचवैला पैझे आणि त्याबद्दलची माहिती आपल्या पुढच्या पिढीला हि शिल्वाईला पैझे। त्यासाठी हा प्रयत्न!
Man holds an innate connection with nature. We are all inherently natural beings. This post is an ode to my village that taught me the importance of being one with nature, natural practices and its importance. As a kid, my parents would take me and my brother to our village every year for a few months (2 months of summer vacation and 1 winter). From milking the cows, spreading cow dung, learning farming, bonfires, jungle picnics, fruit plucking, harvesting to running behind bullock carts to steal a couple sugarcanes as innocent baby dacoits, we did and thrilled in it all. Communal living, being involved in life, livelihood and the lives of others strengthened bonds and formed a deeper understanding of life. My mother’s village is known as “teenchari” that’s situated near Shirdi and is probably the most beautiful place I know of. My grandfather used to be a political leader, landlord and social worker who worked tirelessly in eradicating poverty, providing houses and involving people in workforce to make them self sufficient. He created almost a sanctuary that respected nature. This time around we took a trip to a nearby village which reminded me of my childhood. In those reminiscences I thought of filming parts and sharing an experience I call home. Through this I also want to express an urgent need to safeguard and promote such practices and the conservation of our environment. | Posted on 29/Jun/2024 21:48:56
