Bring the child back!!!

Hi everyone!!

Happy children’s day..today when I wished the same to my mom, she made me realize how much I have grown up, am no more a kid-rather an adult-expected to make a career, expected to vote during elections, expected to be answerable for my behavior..the feeling left me thinking..

Although having passed almost two decades of the journey called “life”, I still cherish the special place for the memories of my “bachpan”. i still enjoy celebrating children’s day, though today the meaning of this day, the feeling of being a child has been lost-buried deep inside the hearts .we have grown up, our priorities have changed for good.yet this day reminds me of how we have evolved from a carefree, naughty,cute,beloved and innocent child to a sincere,mature, sophisticated and ambitious adult.

Gone are the days when the biggest achievement was to clean my room,when greatest fear was to be left alone in a dark room,when naughtiest prank was to hide my sister’s things, when my best friend was the one who had same pencilbox as me,or who gave me chocolates. when everyone was a friend,and only enemy was the one who supported the villain in ‘shaktiman’. when “dad “ was the superhero.

The time when we were so innocent that we had many boyfriend coz all the boys who are friends were considered boyfriends. when one could endlessly talk about anything to anybody, without bothering what the world would say. when I could cry and throw tantrums for having “Maggie” as dinner, when I used to play cricket in classroom, without the fear of being laughed at!

When I did not have to worry about what to wear-when my mom decided what dress I would wear for important events,and I could carelessly spill water on those dresses. when party in school meant-“no uniforms”. When greatest worries were to hide the broken toys. when only failures were to lose in a game of ‘ludo’. when greatest excitement was to get permission to go to a friends home after school hours. When only ambition was to “grow up and be as tall as dad”. the days when tom and jerry was the favourite show on tv,when we could not understand titanic. when we used to fight with friends for things as small as getting a chance to bat first during a game,when the fights only meant no talks for half an hour,after which becoming friends again.when we were not allowed to write with pen,we used pencils and enjoyed the summer breaks covering the new books for next class.

Gone are those days,and that innocence. today we are changed! things are no more that simple or small-ambitions are high, expectations are higher. We have no time ,we have greater things to work upon! We have to prove and compete in this world.even thinking to live that life again is a luxury.

just for one day-rediscover the kid in yourself-relive those days-revive those memories-live freely-without bothering about the world, without worrying about the future. shout without reason!cry for a lovely toy in store! be innocent enough to be satisfied by a small cup of chocolate icecream.

Live like a kid! Love like a kid!enjoy being a kid!

Cheers for life!happy children’s day to the child in you!!

Will post soon!keep smiling till then!
