Collective memory of rural life in Mizoram

I am using "Collective memory" as a title of this post, it may not be sound corrected with the dictionary and academic definitions. The reason why i am using this title is the below pictures/images are having deep meanings and attached significance memories of our Village (Sialsuk) life and it's natural environment in Mizoram, India. Some of these pictures are taken beyond the graveyard of our village and some were clicked across the village streams and somewhere else. You may think these are merely an individual memories not by a group to call it as 'collective", but before you ask this I'd like to quote Joël Candau point of view 'collective memory can be seen as a regulative structure of individual memories.' Ah! leave aside this academic arguments and instead have a look below pics, i hope you will get a beautiful mind refreshing memories of rural life (In Mizo ~ Thingtlang nun) and different collection of natures in a hilly land.

Rural life are sometimes more pleasant, egalitarian and healthier than anywhere else. I still remember a friend of mine once told me (believe it or not!) that rural kids are not getting proper medicine and treatment but comparing to kids in urban areas who are having better treatments are unhealthier than rural kids. If you have any experience (s) or feedback about rural life kindly leave comments.

P.S: My translation of picture captions may be vague or too literal, better suggestions will be appreciated.
