Smaller the city, the smaller it is. (Makes not much sense.)

For this is India. :)

When you read about the good and bad, pros and cons of anything, just anything under the sky, what do you expect? A detailed description of why and why not’s, should you or should you not? Well, this one’s different. It won’t change your thoughts, won’t even influence you to the slightest extent. That makes it clear, I’m not gonna talk about the environment at least! So, the whole article talks about something I’ve wanted to write about for a while now: What’s happening and what’s not, with (due and high) respect to small cities of a nation like India. (I mean Agra, as that’s all I’ve witnessed and have an experience with Lagos, one city way bigger!)

I’ll start with what’s not. Simply because I’m that kind of person who gets disgusted by something easily more than fascinated or amazed.
So, with more to least disgusting and awful, here it is.

1)    No malls. Frankly, that’s that! No damn malls! No huge shopping centers where you can spend loads of time and money, not that everyone has it, but still. Doesn’t someone at some point want to wear their new dress and flaunt it? Small cities don’t let you. A store here, is a mall.

2)    No 3D movies. Let it be Spiderman, or the adventures of Tintin, or the desi ones like Don 2 or Ra.one, no 3D means, NO 3D. We have to continue living in a world of flat screens even when you can shake hands with Shahrukh Khan, virtually, but worth it!

3)    Where to hang out? At a family restaurant or a kids playground. Yes, we have a Baskin Robbins, Dominos, Pizza Hut and a CCD, but their size, their atmosphere, no way matches the metros. Rather, they suck.

4)    Exploring more, once you know that you can’t be entertained, with family or friends, we come to the other part of existence. Animals. Mind my words, you come across at least fifty cows once you set out with your vehicle. And that’s not it. The roads have pigs, dogs, chicken and even ducks to offer. It’s a pleasure being so close to nature when you come across creatures that do not respond to horns unless you touch them. (The good part being, sometimes you can see a buffalo fight.)

5)    You aren’t free. In the sense, you can’t wear that mini skirt and walk around like, ‘To each his own.’ Because yours is more theirs than yours is yours. If you know what I mean!

That’s all of how negative I can be for now. The rest comes later, maybe when I feel positive and get new things to express my disgust about.
