Children's Day

 The best part of any body’s life is their childhood. It is a universally accepted fact.

Given a choice, I think all of us would want to go back, relive our childhood, repeat everything we loved doing, do what we missed out, enjoy every moment.

The thought of it so refreshing and relaxing.

My WhatsApp has been flooding with messages for Children’s day saying that we should keep the child in us alive, i do agree with this however i feel it is important to keep the innocence and the curiosity of a child alive in us.

It would be nice if the schools would do the teaching at school and don’t burden them with loads of homework.

It would be nice if we as parents don’t burden them with  as many classes as we can fit in, because neighbor's son or daughter joined the class. 

It would be nice if we could leave them to learn at their own pace instead of making them walking and talking encyclopedias.

It would be wonderful if they were not reminded of our struggles as children and how they have it easy. Our times were different and our parents time were more different. Lets not compare and confuse. 

Look around, look at the children and we will all agree that while we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. We all are in rush, lets pause, breathe and learn to unlearn. 

Let the children be and let us help them be.
