  When she said "There was a breakdown in society. We decided if we didn't leave Delhi at that point, we probably would get sucked into the system", that resonated so much with me! We are experiencing the same in the USA (and probably all over the world). Society is breaking down, and many of us are stuck on this hamster wheel of working in meaningless jobs, losing touch with our natural world, contributing little good to the future. I hope one day I can be as brave as them.

  These guys have done something 35 years ago which I wish to do for the latter part of my life. Inspiring.

  I just left my psu job 2 years back and puchased a small 2 acre agricultural plot near my hone. I am doing a little work in pollutry and fishery. Though the income is less, but i am kind of happy now. There are lots of chores in a farm, i enjoy doing them. I have planted some 22 fruit plants, i enjoy watching them grow, i enjoy feeding my fishes in the pond and watching them fishes by standing still. I enjoy feeding my roosters and four goats and watching them run and jump bonkers in fun. I enjoy the company of my three featherbrained dogs who always create new tasks for me &nbsp;by chewing pipes, running among the vegetable beds. I enjoy watching my chickengrow in the sheds, and take care that they do not face any problem and stress. <br>Though sometimes financial matters come to my mind and i think about my 2 year old baby(may be he will blame me for not getting him a new bike or something else because of financial restrictions), as my income has been kind of halved but still i will always prefer this life over my past life.

  I still remember this couple came on a Kannada news channel 15 years ago. <br>As college going boy I was astonished to see an Italian woman speaking Kannada fluently.<br><br>I watch this couple once in a five years in a random YouTube video and appreciate how well they are aging.

  It was an era without the internet or open economy. Unlike today, there wasn&apos;t money in every profession. In such circumstances, people generally stuck to tried and tested means of generating livelihood. To have chosen such a unique life even in that era, despite being educated, would have certainly bestowed cult and celeb status to this couple, had it been today! Much appreciation, respect and my salute to both of you!

  This is the life I wish to live with my life partner. In the midst of nature, cultivating growing crops and fruits, and speak with nature.

  Today I see so many stories of &nbsp;highly successful &nbsp;professionals get into farming. That this couple got into organic farming 35 years back shows their is really laudable. <br><br>For someone that did not have an agriculture background, it’s so inspiring!!!

  Be honest....all of us want this type of life, but how many of us have the courage to venture in to it?
