I also studied in the village till class 6, and then I had to shift to the city, but I really have to say these 7 years of school, which I did in the village, are unmatched. We used to bunk classes and play near a big mango tree, and there was a lot to do. In villages everyone's behavior is so good, and they treat you like your own child. I truly remember those days. The friends and the memories of what we have done in classes.
At least when I was a kid, it was still possible to get punished by adults. Living in a small town, everyone knew everyone, do it was hard to get away with any mischief - but we managed!
Growing up in a city is very different.
Yes, in small towns and villages, everyone knows everybody, so it is difficult to do anything because then parents know about the pranks, and then they will punished but eventually I know a hack. We used to go to the garden, and not many people came to the garden, so we were able to play there after bunking the class.
