For those of you who wonder what the hell these are, The above is the list of games which used to keep us engaged in the Summer Hols back in childhood days.This is summer again and all I do now is bang my head into computers in the office and do the same in back in home.The only difference in home is that I use a lappy and use it for fun.
I am sure thinking of those days will make u sad but still bring a subtle smile from within. Can't we be a child again ??? This is something that most people think of and wanted to be but it is highly impossible. Is it really impossible ? Of course not.We can always be a child and it is our choice. But as we grow up we dump many things into our mind and heart and don't let our emotions out.Have you ever seen grown ups indulge in physical fights like children do and laugh out loud as though there is no problem in the whole universe with the same person whom they fought with in another 10 mins.I would be surprised or rather taken aback to hear an yes.They never learn the word diplomacy till they grow up. Their actions are straight from the heart and that's what helps them to be happy always.
The will to be a child or rather as happy as a child depends on our mind and the priorities we set for our self. As far as the child is concerned their happiness depends on the candy they get,games they play, new dress they wear for a festival and the films they watch of their favourite star. As we grow up we tend to forget all the happiness that we get doing such simple things and strive harder and harder, not satisfied with what we have got. What pushes us so hard is one simple fact is " Peer Pressure". I have heard many saying....
"He gets a better salary man"
"He owns a luxury car"
"She has got a jewel set wit diamonds"
"Man he got a new girl friend"
" You know what he has built a new home"
so on so forth that they never realise what they have for themselves. They care more about how others lead life and try living in parallel lines. That is where all the problems start. According to me everyone has their own life which they have to relish.I really wonder why people attend sessions from " Art of Living". Isn't that something which should be natural .... ???? Keep life simple and Live your own life,You can be as happy as a child is forever.
Do something because you like doing it and not because someone else is doing it and that gives them happiness.

Did u make it a point to show that girls are always behind jewels :) i don think so..
@Mithra,
Of course most of them are behind jewels. If that is not the case if you claim, you must have a look at jewellery shops as in who comes and buys! :)
