Ghummakkar

Today a when a man is able to save some money he goes on to buy a land. Then comes making of house. And then making family. Why family because he feels that has been a tradition in society. Of course there are people who don't feel the same and they have done away with the family making step. They still continue to live and even claim to live happily. leaving those numerical minority most of the people want to belong to somewhere, somebody and something.
Now think about the ghummakar- wanderers. They do not belong to some where but that do not bother them at all. They belong to every where. In fact they make every place as their own. They do make choices. They settle down at some place seeing the favorable condition to prolong their life as long as they can. And then a time comes when they uproot their tents and move to a new place. They are free from attachment of place. Since they are on move they cannot afford to accumulate many things. less luggage more comfort. makes travel a pleasure. They are happy. It is not mean that they dont have problems. Like anybody else they too have problems- just another set of them. What is difference is they have less burden and lesser worries. life is light. They can never become rich. richness is not the part of their goal. the part of their goal is to live and to flow in the current of time. They have been taught of this flow since their birth. They have few people who move with them but their uniqueness is that they never feel alien among the new people and new culture too. That is their strength. They find out a link which can connect them to the new group of people. but they will never make any bond so strong which cannot be snapped when time pulls them away.
Now look ata the people who want to belong to somewhere some people and something. They too are in flux but they shut their eyes to the change they want to precipitate while time wants then to dissolve. They acquire some place and some people and some things too. they try to resist the pull of time. it goes on for some time till the power of time over takes and snaps then away. It becomes very painful for the person and also to the people and the place where he belonged because the bond was strong and it caused pain. But eventually very one has to flow in time. Ghummakar are trained in this while others ....
