Hi Hive friends.
The questions posed by @ericvancewalton for this week’s Memoir Monday.
[ What were your next door neighbors like when you were a child? ]
Time has passed so fast that today we are 27 years old and after 27 years we have learned a lot in life and almost five years have passed since we left our old home but still there. But we go twice a week, because wherever a person has spent 23 years of his life, he can never forget the gospel, because a person spends his childhood there.
And we decided to leave our old house because it was in an inner city where the traffic was too heavy. So now it became difficult to live there and it became impossible to take a car there, the roads there were very small, so the rush became very high and when a person becomes successful, his lifestyle must change.
If he does, that's why we change our house. When we think about it, it definitely comes to mind that we shouldn't have changed houses because there is a big difference in the life of the colony and the life of the neighborhood. Help and live with each other in the same way, then we still remember all those people with whom we spent a long period of our life,

We still meet them, but as Before, we used to meet every day, but this is not the case because the journey from the old house to the new house is an hour long, so we cannot go there every day. Yes, that's why, but it also reminds me of all those things, how once there was happiness in the neighborhood,
All the people celebrated together and spent time happily, or sometimes someone in the neighborhood when there was a problem, all the people would help each other and that time would pass. Now let me share with you an incident of an old neighborhood which is very interesting. Inside our neighborhood there lived an old lady and her cousin.
They lived here for a long time and they had their own children. If there was no, that's why he loved the children of the whole neighborhood a lot and gave a lot of love and he had a small shop in one of the neighborhoods, so he was making a living from it and the whole neighborhood loved him a lot.

Were more happy and everything was bought from them so that they could also benefit financially, then with the passage of time their business was not doing so much and we all the villagers knew that he is in trouble and he needs money but he has never taken money from anyone in the neighborhood so some of us in the neighborhood decided how to give him money so that he doesn't have to worry.
To help them, we put some money in an envelope and hid it so that they would not know where it came from, so they were very happy after seeing the money. Because he had to get all his medical check-ups done, his health was not going well. The way Eid is celebrated in the colony now, it is very rare to meet any person here,
Every person is busy in their own life and do not meet each other at all, that is why they say that where our childhood was spent. It happens that all the people there know us, so it becomes easy to live there, by helping each other, even when we go there, people meet us with great respect and love,

And when we go inside these small streets, every memory of our childhood comes back. We used to play cricket here, we used to fly kites on the roof. There are so many memories inside this house so this is our effort we will never seal it because within 2018 my mother passed away from this world and she died inside this house so we kept our having spent a long time with mother,
Every single thing there is memorable to us, so one should never sale such a house if there is no compulsion. One of the most important advantages of a neighborhood is that every person has good and bad times.
If a person lives in a neighborhood, then all the shopkeepers there know us and a person would borrow some things from them in difficult times. And then he gives them money on a monthly basis, so that helps a lot to lead a good life, and we've seen that happen a lot within the neighborhood,

Where most of the people who are there are those who are employed and whose salary is low, so they borrow things from there in the same way, which they pay again every month, and if a person ever needs money, the shopkeepers of the neighborhood. If they are there, they help each other, so our neighbors, whose shop was just above the road where we lived in the street,
So we also borrowed things from them many times. Later, if the loan was returned, then it is good. In this way, one should live within the neighborhood. Today, inside the colony, one does not meet each other at all. It is not even known whether there is any trouble or happiness in the neighboring house. The greatest joy of the day of Eid was that after praying, you would meet all the residents of the neighborhood for Eid.

It happens where we have spent 18 years with each other, but here it is not like that at all, every person prays and goes back to his home, but it was not like that in the neighborhood, there used to be coffee. They used to stand together, chat, sell things at each other's houses, it was happy and the time was spent well.

I can feel the nostalgia that is reflected in your text. You are very right, there is a great rapport between people, they help each other, they know the problems, this does not happen in big cities. The good thing is that you can still visit them.
Kind regards.
Yeah you are right.
An old friend is far much more better that two new ones. Same as the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. There is always a connection with our old folks.
Cheers
Big cities have that particularity of removing that feeling of belonging and that union among neighbors that usually occurs in the neighborhoods or cities of the interior.
They say that the neighbors are like a closer family, sometimes even more than the blood family, because sometimes it happens that in an emergency, they are the ones who come to our aid if we live far away from the family.
