Historical Buildings: Inspiration to Survive

History means past event which never comes again. Historic buildings carry the very similar thinking in every one's life. It is a natural phenomenon that old things are used and after its expiration date it is garbage or spoilt. But, everything cannot be treated on the same manner. Historic building means which have some value on some phase of time which everyone in present time thinks it as historic. It has become historic due to different reason like, its culture, and tradition and of different belief on different periods of time. So, historic or old buildings should be kept preserved and should not replace them with modern infra-structures. Every citizen of each city wants to popularize their place by such buildings which helps to know their place on the other part of the world. Destroying historic buildings may hurt many people feelings emotionally and they may get mentally torchured by this kind of act. For example, If we destroy Tazmahal of India, which is a symbol of love and peace and try to construct a new Tazmahal what will be it's value? How many people may get mentally hurt and emotionally torchured? Destroying historic building may bring negative effect on the value of city and its identity which is known by that single building. As the time passes that specific city may get out of the map. This thing has happened in different parts of the world. By, just looking at that single building many people remembrance may be attached to it and they may have got inspiration to survive by that building alone. Historical building gives some kind of knowledge to the people. They can understand and gather several facts about, how their fore-father used to live? What may have been the tradition, culture and living style of the past? How people used to struggle on that time and this information passes from generation to generation which is a good symbol of communication with our next generation. At last, Historic building should be saved and everyone should think it as public property. The government should declare public holiday to visit different historic building and declare transport holiday on that certain day. Now, people should try to develop the slogan like: SAVE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND SAVE YOUR IDENTITY TOO........
