History junkie...

While in School Days,if one ask me "what's my favourite subject?",promptly I would say ,"History".I was so much preoccupied with the history books,that it ensued in passion reading them,even neglecting other sort of things that I do in leisure time.Thanks to our history teacher,the way he taught the subject was no less than watching a movie.Though I wasn't good at mugging the facts,but my obsession was to know about the lifestyle of the people of past.

I was in 6th class,when we had "Ancient India" as part of our history curriculum.I was immensely impressed by the once vibrant grandeur of Indus valley civilisation,that flourished in India some 4000 years ago.The photos of excavated ruins of the Harrapan and Mohanjodareo towns often made me to dream up the bygone chirrupy atmosphere in the streets.
The reasearch from the excavation yielded that the culture was very advanced and scientific.So sophisicated was their script that all research to decipher it are in vain uptill this date,one of the primary reason for our meagre knowledge about this civilisation.It is still uncertain what made them vanished,probable theory suggest mass devastation due to nature fury,or the invasion of Aryans from Middle East.I have all praise for the Harrapan despite knowing we are descendents of Aryans.Had the Harrapan survived India would have been far advanced than
any contemporary culture,far far ahead of America.

I am still amorous towards such ancient glorious civilisation.Thats the reason I have great taste towards movies of this genre,like Troy,LOTR,gladiator......the recent samsh-hit 300.I wish there some kind of time-machine which take me into the depth of the past and witness all such glorious events,infact not only be mere spectator rather mingle as part of their life.

Coming back to the present,I see life around me as illusive and mesmerising,but the virtue of simplicity,genuinity is fading very fast.
