Bamboo Tongs are a reflection of simplicity

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuhu Dear friends, how are you all? I hope you are all well. I am also well by the infinite mercy of Allah. Today I will share. Bamboo Tong with a reflection of simplicity.

A simple picture of rural life
In our rural Bengal, we often see such a scene, which is very simple but has a lot of depth hidden in it. That is a small tong made of bamboo. This is not a modern furniture from a factory, but is made by hand with bamboo growing in nature. These tongs are not just a place to sit, they are an integral part of rural life.
Generally, not many materials are needed to make this tong. It can be made with a few strong bamboos and some thread or rope.

The bamboos are cut and four poles are buried in the ground, and a few more bamboos are spread on top of them. In this way, a place to sit is made very easily. These huts are usually built in the courtyard of the house, on the side of the road, or near the crop fields.
There are countless stories associated with these bamboo huts. After lunch, the villagers take a break here. Children sit here and play and tell stories. In the evening, neighbors gather and have various kinds of discussions. It is like a meeting place in the village, where happiness and sorrow are shared.

After harvesting, farmers sit on these huts to relieve their fatigue. Passers-by take a break, wait for the bus. Every person in the village is connected to them in some way or the other. It is not just a piece of furniture, it is a symbol of our rural culture.
These huts are not getting lost in the crowd of modernity. It reminds us of our roots. Whenever I see such a bamboo hut, my heart is filled. It seems that our true peace is hidden in this simple way of life.
