I stay in India at a place called pune(dehu) which is an hill station type away from all the pollution and the best thing which I see is many types of opportunity available.
We are surrounded by hills and mountains full of fresh air.
My home is surrounded by church, temple, and mosque.

My place of living is calm and quite. I have a Sea just about 2Km away from my house.
Now the winter is begun so i can go skiing or else fishing in sea during summer gives me a joy to reside here.

I can walk to the beach, the golf course and the nature reservation which is part of the railway which closed down before I was born, other than that there's nothing interesting here. There is a maple leaf paddling pool in the village donated by Canada many years ago as a sign of friendship.

I can only describe my town as Mayberry (from the Andy Griffith show). It is exactly like it. The police station, town hall, fire department, water board, and library are all in seperate buildings but they all share the same phone number. I could try to call the police and I'd get the water board. What's up with that?
Now, on to the library. It's a very humble library. It has what you need except parking spaces. It has a total of one parking space for the library. If you need to park there and someone has taken the space, you have to park at the post office. lol
Onto the police department: it wasn't until about a year ago we got 24 hour police coverage. Before, you would have call between the hours of 8am - 5pm except at 12pm - 1pm as that was the officer's lunch hour.
Not to mention the one traffic light in the entire town, the farm lands, and the fact everyone knows everyone. I must say, though, everyone is very friendly here and they would help any way they could - which brings me to the most interesting thing about this town:
They used to call this small town Little Chicago as they used to always brawl and kill here. I couldn't believe it when I first heard it. This was many years ago (probably about 100 or so). They called it Little Chicago 'cause there were more deaths here than in the big city of Chicago. I'm just glad it's nearly 100% better in my day!

There is hardly anything interesting about the town I live in, its mostly farm land, but its smack dab inbetween Gettysburg famous for the Civil War and Chambersburg the town that was completely burned to the ground during the civil war.
