Business tycoon Anand Mahindra gave internet Monday motivation as he shared footage of energetic kids sliding into a river in a village, enjoying themselves despite meager resources and humble living. Shared by one of the fastest-growing social sector organizations Nandi foundation’s CEO, Manoj Kumar, the 22 seconds inspiring clip portrays life experiences of kids in the rural areas that the children in the urban landscape miss out on. The clip shows a bunch of lively kids skidding on the mudslide into the river as they cherish “simple pleasures of life”, as pointed out by Anand Mahindra.  

Viewed over 172k times, the clip was captioned as,” Happiness is This. Experiences only Indian Villages can give”. Internet users instantly hearted the footage, nostalgic about their childhood days as they said that the posts shared by Mahindra reeked of “a message of compassion, love, and humanity.” While the impression of the rural life is often associated with struggle and lack of resources by many and people tend to migrate towards urban settings for better earnings and opportunities, the footage is a perception correction of what happiness and better living could mean for some. As Mahindra pointed out, in a post-COVID world, people might learn to place a greater value of simpler things in life.

Physical activity and learning skills

Children can be seen enjoying themselves ecstatically as they swim in the river and play in the mud oblivious about any worries. They seem to have gathered with their friends from the village, as one by one, each kid goes on the swamp and wet ground straight into the river with broad smiles on their faces. Together, they run and play and do a lot of physical activity which is indicative of better development. It can also be made out from the video that the boys have learned swimming in the freshwater on their own as they splash inside the water without fear and efficiently swim to the bank, repeating the process once more.  

“Our country with such Glorious past needs such corporate heads with Love & humanity. This is what is going to distribute wealth, generate more confidence, clean this country, empower the women, motivate the farmers, & respect the villagers. Doing fair business with poor,” said a user. “People moved away from a simple life in home-towns to cities where they are leading a complicated life. Hope things can change,” wrote the second. “This is what we have to learn to be happy,” agreed the third.
