Changing Times
This chapter from NCERT Looking Around, Class 4, Chapter 12 compares homes, food, travel, and daily life across generations. Old houses of mud, wood, and thatch stand beside cement houses, and bullock carts and steam engines give way to buses and trains. Through memories of grandparents and pictures of old utensils, wells, and rooftops, children see how building materials, cooking fuels, occupations, and neighbours have changed while the need for shelter, water, and community remains the same.
