Villagers in India manifest a deep loyalty to their village, identifying themselves to strangers as residents of a particular village, harking back to family residence in the village that typically extends into the distant past. A family rooted in a particular village does not easily move to another, and even people who have lived in a city for a generation or two refer to their ancestral village as "our village."
Indian Villagers share use of common village facilities--the village pond (known in India as a tank), grazing grounds, temples and shrines, cremation grounds, schools, sitting spaces under large shade trees, wells, and wastelands. Perhaps equally important, fellow villagers share knowledge of their common origin in a locale and of each other's secrets, often going back generations. Interdependence in rural life provides a sense of unity among residents of a village.

Move On After Broken Heart
I have rather complicated question. How do you let go of someone you love, you know its over, but in your heart it's as if nothing ever changed. I know you never get over someone you love but how do you move on?

Strike Stops Streetscape Work (Update)
If there ever was a project that was jinxed, it's the Morse Avenue Streetscape. In yet another delay on the seemingly never ending project, the workers are currently on strike.
Wonder if that's the case with the Graffiti Busters, too? Quite a few buildings in the area were hit hard a couple of nights ago. If they don't remove the gang tags in the next day or two, I'll post the gang tag markings and locations on the web to help the workers out in locating them.
Oh, one more thing: If you're into watching the local gangs sell drugs and fight in public, I'd suggest a sidewalk table at Act One Cafe. You can call 911 then watch the officers drive-by, which temporarily disperses the gangs into various neighborhood cubbyholes. The food is great and you can join the 911 caller pool on how many minutes it takes for the officers to drive-by and which hole the gang member(s) will hide in.
And, for the record: No bashing the Alderman. Joe Moore has been helpful in reporting the gang markings to the authorities in charge of this process. He's personally come out and reported the buildings in question. Something must be in the water in the 49th Ward offices. I even got a cheerful email from Wayne Frazier. So now it's up to the Graffiti Busters.
