Children's Day- In touch with the child within

Nov 14- Every year used to be holiday. It used to be the day to look forward to after Diwali holidays. We were pampered with chocolates, games. As years passed, we slowly forgot the day as it no longer meant a holiday. And slowly we got used to the regular mundane that we seldom reconnected ourselves with the child we were.

Even today, very often, we feel like dancing to a tune that used to energise us in our good old days but we immediately get conscious of what people around would think. How many times have we felt like running down a slope, jumping in puddles, build sand castles but restrain ourselves bcause we think we have 'grown up'! And what do we gain?

To rephrase what learned people say, we allow these inhibitions to rule our life. Freedom, hence lies actually in each of us- freedon to sing when happy, freedom to dance when joy seeps in, freedom to eat chocolates, freedom to eat cream biscuits by sepearting both the layers of biscuits and licking the cream within...

It lies in each one of us to nurture the child within, let loose inhibitions and enjoy life as it is meant to be...
