Fireplace Culture











In our culture in the recent past fireplace was the heart of the family life.

It was considered the only hot place in the house where tired men and women used to sit at night to warm and rest with chatting sprightly young boys and girls all around them.

In the cold winter the elderly men used to tell fables to young children.

Young girls used to predict the future and fate watching at fire sparks.

Old women used to tell stories of their childhood to young girls.

Harmony was all over ... Tv was so far from their culture and no one could predict Tv would break this simple harmony forever.
