Chhote chhote sheheron se, khali bore dopaharon se, hum to jhola utha ke chale...



What is it that defines a 'chhota sheher'? By population, Bhiwani, a dusty city in the heartlands of Haryana is a large town, double the size of NOIDA.

And yet, NOIDA is not a city you associate with being a 'small town'. It's almost 'metro' in its attitude and way of life. Bhiwani, on the other hand, is still a chhota sheher at heart.

But still this chhota sheher offers many great benefits which cities like Gurgaon or NOIDA may not offer, cant say for every one, but, definitely to me, they do offer.

ADVANTAGES OF SMALL CITY
CHEAP restaurants: the city has only four or five restaurants where the food is not so pathetic and the cost is a quarter to what one has to pay at pizza hut or dominos. To add to it the restaurants also offer discounts to college students which no pizza hut or dominos offers.

Another advantage is poor availability of good beer and sutta brands. In city like Bhiwani, one has to travel miles (or at least a mile) to get a benson lights or a fosters, n that too expired one sometimes, this reduces the cost of these unnecessary expenditures to a great extent.

The biggest benefit I personally extracted that my parents never came to meet me in the tenure of four years; this helped me to live as a dirty creature throughout these four years and also happily.

Cost reduction in survival, this is great aspect which I find unique to this city only, the city has no cinema hall, no multiplex or anything which can be called source of entertainment. WANNA ENJOY A MOVIE…GO FOR PIRATED CD (Rs 10 only)

For a guy like me, who has no girl friend, this is heaven….. no one can dare to be open with his/her buddy in this city and that is ;)
On a serious note
'Progress' here is a strange creature. The people in this city have a very orthodox attitude and they do not want to develop or change at all. Some times I consider my self a fool who packed his bag and went to a city where people find an excuse to fight with each other and, at the end of the day, do nothing for the development of the place where their coming generations have to study and carve out a niche for themselves
