I am sketching my love to you against the backdrop of say 1960. Peer groups was a very strong concept at village level. I dont think you have affectionate people in your environments. There was hardly any money factor to allure to some dice so to say. There was a gurudwara grounds just flanking my dad house. I remember every evening used to be full of songs and games. I have never heard any bullshit eve teasing and the like. chaste punjabi tappe were sung and it adored and resonated the environments like Pakiza movie songs thronged the hearts of the people in later years. ( I will continue.) there was no theater no screen no dais no stadium no milkha singh no saroj khan no kapil dev no light arrangements no camera no director no script and no motto even except the aura of Nature lit large sometimes adoring the cloths say chandi ki rat and usually naked the pitch dark but no khushwant could ever take roots. ( I will continue.) During the day s of lori rich customs like dula bhati wala were performed where by a few groups were organised and commune sharing of eatable were offered. Girls were decorated at other occasions and sweets offered as a token of placating the Nature. Gurudwara played a hub of activity bereft of any dogmas attached. Every morning and evening for about 2 hrs with flexi time of attendance and flexi concept of age sex or say bereft of any divisions were earmarked as a traditional bhakti songs generally making guru granthsahib as a focus of devotion but with no tags inbuilt. Both the times volunteers arranged for sweets as token of self respect to the commune system of village life but with bloody communist tag.
Gurudwara grounds were utilized for settling the disputes whether personal family related matrimonial or say any such matters where wisdom of the seniors was respected and accepted without any expenditure involved in any manner what so ever it may in the modern way of understanding the finance property worth and the like.
Its not that delinquency is some imported word. I remember Dad had an adage which he used only sparingly : jaat di kor kili tei chateera nu jafe.
