It started as early as the first of November itself. The initial excitement started with Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties that the school is organising a trip to.
Then one evening when I came home dog-tired as usual, there was an insistent shrill demand that I make a chart of Chacha Nehru, followed by other such demands. There were many discussions and questions regarding the man and why his birthday meant that all kids could have a day off. After much of this grilling, I was on the receiving end. I was being told by my little one how everyone should love children, be kind to them and celebrate and have a great time on chilluns day.
Celebrate childhood!
PS: Show me a woman who is not guilty and I'll show you man- said 'feminist' Erica Jong. But then O. Henry thought it could be the man too who could be The Guilty Party. On children's day (ouchie, sounding a bit preachy) lets remember to do our bit by the kids of the world, most importantly, our own.

'Twas a bolt of pleasure from out of the blue to receive your comment on my blog.
The wonder of life is that wonderful people are always remembered.
I see that you still have the beauty of Roses in your thoughts and actions and that rose signifies you.

I just wrote the same words at Gangadhar's blog also,A child's life is filled with innocence,simplicity and joy,all are his friends and none a enemy,there is no place for jealousy and no place for hatred,we were once like that too but Alas,to tend to higher aspirations we leave behind it all,only to realize that we got nothing now,Through kids lets live that beautiful life again.
I have been here for last six months but its the first time i thought of leaving my footprints:)
Hullo folks
Shall get back to each of you when I am up and typing again. And thanx foe de-lurking Alapana. :)
