#people #life #city
Although
 many
people
 believe that
life
 in a metro
city
 is a blessing, there are others who have a different point of view regarding
this
. In my perception, it is a matter of choice.
To begin
 with, many
people
 assert that major developments are
city
-centric, which makes living in a
city
 more convenient. The government always looks after the basic amenities of
city
 dwellers and they get better transportation, amusement facilities, water and electricity supply which unfortunately is not available in rural areas.
Furthermore
,
cities
 offer more job opportunities and earning bread and butter is easier in a developed
city
. Not only do literates get better opportunities to work in multinational and big companies, but
also
 many illiterate
people
 work as security guards, car drivers, cooks and assistants in houses, shops and offices in a
city
. Malls, PVR’s, supermarkets remain under one shelter where they can go on weekends for necessary purchases and entertainment.
Last
 but not least, in most of the villages, many students walk miles after miles on foot to go to schools, pupils in
cities
 can save time and use more convenient transportation.
On the other hand
, many
people
 believe that urban
life
 is complex.
People
 do not have a strong social bond and remain busy in their own world, unlike a rural area.
People
 have to work over 50 hours a week to bring food to their table and crimes are heinous in
cities
. To conclude, I believe that
cities
 have facilities that let us live a modern
life
 but sometimes with the cost of our personal and social
life
.
Hence
,
this
 is a choice we make either to live in a big
city
 and enjoy modern facilities or live close to nature in a village where scarcity of modern amenities is obvious.
