Musings of Puri: Insights into the Amish People

Renowned movie director Puri Jagannadh has recently shared exciting insights into the lifestyle of the Amish people living in Pennsylvania. Despite living in the 21st century, the Amish people still maintain practices from the 18th century. They live a traditional lifestyle, preferring to shun modern amenities such as air conditioning, refrigerators, and smartphones. Instead, they still use horse-drawn carriages and engage in disciplined education. 

The Amish people prioritize family and enjoy leisure time on Sundays. They respect their elders and cherish nature, living according to their religious scriptures. They prefer to keep their lifestyle private and rarely give interviews or allow video recordings. Women wear minimal makeup and keep their hair covered. 

In times of crisis, the Amish people unite to support each other. They live modestly and have unique customs and traditions that offer a different societal perspective. Even as the world evolves, they remain steadfast in their ways and continue to lead a simple life.
