It's a famous story originated from Aesop's Fables, from ancient Greece. Since we had built our cities there had been a clash in typical country life with, less resources, struggles of finding enough entertainment, compared to easy going city life with wealth. However, that truly would not represent the true nature of the country life versus the city life in modern world as boundaries are less distinct nowadays as the infrastructures have brought the gap between country and the town much closer. In the original story the town mouse who visits the country mouse was treated with simple meal of 'country cousin', followed by the invitation of the town mouse to his host for a visit to feel the 'Devine life of the city'. For which of course the country mouse agrees, and the as the story goes, the country mouse came to know the mother and the father of the town mouse were killed by an attack of the cat, and in the town, there is frequent threat of the sudden similar attacks from the cat. So, the country mouse return home with fear. There have been different versions of the story over time, with additions and new stories built around the original. Since the original wisdom which was brought by the old story is no longer there. We tell our children that the country mouse was attacked by an owl, when he walked on the countryside to bring some horror to the country life as well. It seems our city dwelling fathers and mothers couldn't answer if the children if they asked why they are not living in the country anymore and feared they would go back in searching happiness in the country life after all. It is true that the country life is difficult hard and monotonous, however, that is the same as everyone else. In the country the Neighbours struggle together. City life is free, opportunities are more with excitement, of course there are still poor and not so good living conditions although how much city authorities tried to hide. So, which one to choose? The city or the country? Of course, there is no correct answer, lets imagine we have group of people who prefer city life over the country life 99% of the time. And if there are 100 people in the group, can you say the city life is better than the country life as a general statement? We are distinct individuals and what is correct for 99% of our society may not be correct for ourselves. So, I think it is individual decision, and not independent of time. As there are more and more examples, 99.99% of us live quite ordinary lives which were influenced by others. If it changes your life, if it changes your perspective, it is better to try both of them. Afterall, if the country mouse stayed in the country and town mouse stayed in the town, there would have been no story for us to tell. Thank you for reading "The town mouse and country mouse."

"Carpe diem . Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." The famous quote Carpe diem from the film the dead poet's society 1989, makes the 95th famous movie quote of all times. There are few great movies made into top 100 quotes including Titanic (1997) at the 100ths place. However above quote is so inspiring for anyone who have watched the movie. Even for someone who is not having any artistic talent it invites to become creative as we all inherit the creative abilities, although our current education systems, hinders and hides them. Directed by Peter Weir and written by Tom Schulman, main role of the film was played by famous actor Robin Williams (1951-2014), renowned actor who gives the life to the teacher 'John Keating'. As the plot of the story unravels, about Mr. Keating, who is so inspiring and novel, leaving behind all traditional classroom methods of teaching to bring out the rhythm of hearts of young group of lads, to synchronize with the beats of the nature. He asked the students to rip off their poetry books, instead to listen to the nature and follow their hearts, not be in fear to take paths less often taken by everyone else. In the heart of this group, equally inspired, few young boys restart a 'Dead poet's society', where they get together to recite, poems and find company in a novel adventure. Neil who is one of the main characters in the story, is taken the inspiration, into heights no one else have done, becomes an actor, instead of following dreams of his father laid upon him. It is tragic that the life of this young handsome boy with a bright future was ceased at the end by taking his own life, that he felt that there was no way out, and he could not seize the day anymore, as his teacher taught him. So, what is the moral of the story? Is it "trying to seize the day would end up killing some of us? ". Is it irrational to go against the norms of the society how much we are inspired by nature. After all, there is no conclusion, no argument, given at the end of the film. We are left with a void of feelings, and thoughts even after years since I have watched that film, I wonder what a wonderful life that boy could have lived if his life was spared. Of course, after all it is a drama. But dramas of this kind can happen from time to time in our lives. Leaving us in emptiness, in shock. Luckily for most of us, we are so much in fear of taking the radical route, we just follow everyone else, without thinking like in a national geographic documentary of Africa! Are you? What does your heart demand you should be doing? Write it down, draw it now, or sing it before you forget the words. It doesn't matter as, death is the only bad thing that can happen of it, and it will happen anyway for all of us. But I wonder whether doing that will bring happiness to hearts after all.
