Keep the Child alive in you !

There was a time when choosing the color of a sketch pen was a tough task .
getting the window seat on the school bus was a big deal,
getting a toffee as a birthday treat from a friend made our day
being the first to finish copying from the blackboard was a moment of pride,
hiding the answer from our partner was not selfishness,
when homework was the only torture,
all elders were ideal,
early to bed early to rise was life's mantra,
owning a bicycle or one coveted doll was the only treasure
to look good was only to put loads of powder and a neat comb
television time was a community time,
nothing compared to mum's cotton sari pallu to wipe a runny nose
and teary eyes and dad's shadow was good enough to get the schoolbooks out
When you where the remote of your house TV
A tribute to those wonderful memories that made a wholesome childhood. Celebrate the child in you!
 🌹Happy CHILDREN'S DAY🌹
