Past Life

Past Life:

I have never thought about what my life would have been like if I had been born in a different historical period.

If we delve into the nuances of the past once, it is believed that if we were born like this, we too would have been a king, a dictator, like Albert Marshall, the father of economics.

Introduction:

Imagine being transported back in time to a different historical period. The social norms of that era, available technologies, and prevailing values will determine my career. Examining some examples of possible occupations in different historical periods can be a little overwhelming and careless.

Let's look at the value of goods and money today:

Year 1960:

1 rupee is the largest in India.

25 annaas are four annaas,

4 quarter anaa 1 rupee.

Going back in time:

My father said of ancient times:

In ancient India, one of the earliest cradles of civilization, it was a highly valued skill. But literacy was low. The well-to-do have the first right to study, the poor are less literate, such reading means the floor is my paper and this stick is my pen.

If we were more spiritually inclined, we would perform a religious ritual and act as an intermediary between the people and the divine.

There is never any shortage of food for our people.

Days passed, we were in our Age 20s, the year was 1934,

In our town, everyone used to sell food items in carts in the city. Time has passed. I am 22 years old.

I and all my friends were heading towards the city. We didn't know how to write much, but we had some knowledge of reading, and on the way, there was a poster saying that from now on, villagers and urban people should sell food items brought to this address, otherwise, you will be punished, this was a government order. We didn't take it too seriously. Our sales continued.

In those days, no home had a TV. Whoever goes abroad, will tell the news of what is happening there.

The people who came said that the government has arrested our sales hall and its salesman, and we cannot sell anymore.

Walk to City:

Some of my father's friends went to the city, where the military was operating, the city was in ruins, and the government had enslaved all the businesses in the city. The government arrested all the traders available on the road, and those who escaped this tension were our villagers and other villagers.

We could not return to our own village.

Days, weeks, months, and years passed, then a neighboring village resident said that there is a call to support our business and our people in a village called Medtery, if we go there we will get food, shelter, and security for business.

They decided that we would "OK" go there and ask for our rights and left the place where they were staying.

They took refuge there to protect themselves from the enslaving government.

Vaanavan is a very strong man, generous in heart, who people like two eyes:

Vaanawan:

A person who came from a neighboring country and took refuge in our country is educated and fully aware of the government.

Sometime after he took shelter, this state has become a slave life in our country, his mother and father are living in his homeland.

He spent a few years in the military in his native country. He left his military career for his father and mother and entered the business world.

Vanavan was joined by more than 1000 people including my father, our villagers, neighboring villagers, many villagers, and vendors.

The military ruled with absolute power:

If you act against exceptional leadership qualities, you will be punished by the king. In return, we will contribute to the construction of magnificent pyramids, temples, and other awe-inspiring structures that still stand in your town today. The government said.

Middle Ages:

The Vaanavan asked us:

Medieval India was marked by feudalism and chivalry. If you were born into a noble family, you might have become a knight, valiantly defending your lord and fighting epic battles. Alternatively, if you had a knack for craftsmanship and metalwork, you could have pursued a craft career, creating the intricate armor and weapons that played such an important role in medieval society. Do you have this noble quality, a can-do attitude?

The Vaanavan asked us.

I don't understand why Vaanavan is asking this.

The man called one, and he came

Vaanavan said to tell.

The man said the army had enslaved every kingdom in the country. Now we are only dependent on ourselves and we have to make a decision.

At the same time:

They fought that war for some time, and more educated and truthful people came forward to help us, so within a few years we got our independence from that military.

In modern times:

War: Soldier

The turmoil of this war provided unique career opportunities. Had I been born in this era, I would have joined the armed forces as a soldier and served our country from the front line of the war. Alternatively, I could become a nurse, providing essential care and support to wounded soldiers and playing a vital role in the war effort.

Conclusion:

There is no fantasy of past lives. Examining the effects and considering the classic life one has had in several verifiable periods allows one to think about the various regions and encounters that have shaped human civilization. Each era presents its claimed challenges and its specialties, and imagining ourselves in that setting expands our understanding of the world we live in today.
