The list goes on! Who doesn't wants to go back in time and cherish the childhood memories. :)
Where is that child in me! Where is that curiosity! Where is that happy mood! where are those innocent questions!
Are they dead or are they all just hiding deep in me!
Are they gone forever or are they just lying low!
most of us at lest at one point or the other think with a sigh "wish I remained as a kid!" :) - No worries, no responsibilities, no rules of adult world!
Do you have the child still alive in you - who is inquisitive to learn new things, who is quick in forgetting small fights, who smiles with innocence, who enjoys being in his world!
Let the child blossom in me and in you!
Childhood is not gone anywhere for anyone of us.. It is just in Silent mode..
ReplyDeleteIf we analyze, in school, till 5th std students, they just love to play outside, enjoy doing action songs, very nicely go along with Wonders of Nature like enjoying rain, smiling with nice breeze, walking on a muddy road, jumping in the rain water flow etc etc etc… !!!
But once age grows? Same above actions become ‘Chi’ or ‘Thu’.. Why?? ??
Our mind blocks ourselves from enjoying all those, and makes us say NO for it!
Even if we want to, mind says its public does not do it! So are we stopping because we forgot or are we stopping because we are living for others but not for ourselves! THINK!
In school very often I have heard the dialog from teachers – you are grown up children now, behave yourself, act accordingly, and don’t be childish! So child mind gets blocked and starts’ behaving what she/he is actually not!
But what do they really expect from an innocent child who wants to be what she/he is and likes to do what she/he likes to do it!
From that time, childhood goes far from owns nature, instead child mind starts looking at the ignorant world around, and tries to behave as world behaves. That age has to be molded very nicely and that is in Teachers and Parents hand. The child stops enjoying the nature or natural creations but goes for external beauties or manmade fantasies. At that right time, right age, if Parents and Teachers can hold the child, turn the mind and show the right way to walk, the Child will never fall at any age instead will walk on a right path ALWAYS with courage and guts!
All teachers and Parents need to THINK of it, need to have a close understanding and silent observation of child’s mind, as where is it wandering! ! !
Tomorrow is in our hand, we can see our own children rocking in right manner because at right TIME we have hold their hands to walk in a right path! So let us start today, by walking in a right way, to take children of our society in the right path!
Make a nice Life!
