Small town perks

living in 2 small towns over the last 4 years, after being born and brought up in a metropolis, has been a rather interesting experience for me. yes, initially there was the "reverse" culture shock and "metro-craving"..but as time goes by..the small-town thing began to grow on me. some of the best things i like about my "2-tier-city" life --

• it barely takes 15 minutes to the railway station/airport/bus stand/where ever and back..thats something u'll NEVER get in a metro
• there is less traffic..less traffic signals..less traffic police.. less of a mess
• u can actually get movie tickets for a new flick on a weekend by going 20 minutes before the show! for 1/3rd the price of a multiplex!
• the air is cleaner and grass is greener n u can see the constellations in the night's sky lying on the terrace 

but on the flipside...

• night life..everything closes by 9.. finding a place to eat when u get down from a late night train can be close to impossible
• hardly anything ever happens..no events.. no concerts..nothing outside of movies to entertain oneself..
