Living in a congested city, is like a memory in an already congested (worth memories) heart. In a crowded city one feels suffocated like a potato thrust among numerous other potatoes stuffed in a bag-difficult to breathe, unable to budge a millimeter.
There are two kinds of over crowdedness-large cities with enormous population, or small old really congested cities. Most of we Indians live in one-room houses, whole family living in black holes. In large cities, over population can be accommodated: particularly in modern cities built on modern lines, Suburbs that grow around an old city like Delhi lighten the burden with the result that though the people living in suburbs live rather comfortably but those in the walled city/cities live most inconveniently, comfortably—like the chicks, in crates, to be slaughtered or like bales of cotton or bags of grain stored in a store, in a god own.
The streets, the by-lanes, the houses, the rooms are all jam-packed. Unhealthy roads which are the domains of dust and dirt are like dust bins—polluted air polluted water, polluted food, polluted hearts, polluted minds, polluted heads, polluted sleep, polluted dreams, polluted everything under the above the earth: death, deficiency, dearth, destruction, dust, dirt, disdain-polluted wholesale.
Apart from this but a sequence of this, there is another difficulty no privacy, no time people can have to themselves, no place, nothing. Every thing is to be done in open, under the open sky. Much, it seems has been said against the crowded cities, the congested towns.

There is a grate feeling of security and safety and protection in crowded cities. People are thick as thieves. Everybody seems to know everybody else. These facilities are not available in the modern master-planned cities. All -a- ties are scattered, broadcast. Only those who are rich enough to have their own means of conveyance can afford to enjoy, or even use these
For all the pomp and show in the posh modern cities, the life in – rested cities is always preferable. People do not seem to know each other in big cities. The people reach the places of parties and function, or ceremonies when every thing is over, finished.
Nature also seems to have a preference for congestion. The number of red corpuscles blood per sq. mm. is something like a few million. So many cells cells are there in the body that their numbers defies count and puts to shame even the most powerful computers.
