Women need not go to bring water, to collect fire wood etc. to light kerosene lamp etc. There is no unmixed blessing on earth. Everything has its merits and demerits. Similarly city life has some demerits than merits. Air is more polluted in a city. It gets polluted in many ways. People can not breathe in pure air.

Someone has truly said : “If you would be known and not know, live in a village’ if you would known and be unknown, live in a city.”
