Lets get back to childhoods house!!!!

Just went through this quote "my childhood may be over but that doesn't mean playtime is..." and it set a flurry of emotions running accross my mind..This can be easily attributed to the fact that I make a concious effort not to let the child within me die and I proudly admit that I have been successful on many occassions.One of my favourite one liners have been "there's always a child inside everyone...we just need to bring it out" but alas how many of us do that.

Some genuinely want to do that but refrain from the fear of being rediculed...others silently go back to behaving childlike far from the eyes of any one..I never refrained from behaving like one whenever I felt like...Be it getting excited after seeing the first monsoon clouds hovering over my head, to the smell of good food being cooked somewhere, to the excitement of attaining something long desired, I have always let my emotions guide my behaviour and not anything else...Probably thats the reason that every child finds me a sought after companion who understands them and their mind well.This is because I step into their shoes at those moments and be the one with whom they can identify themselves...

I see many parents behaving in a strange way with their kids as if expecting the little ones to grow over night and understand everything..But little that they realise that they themselves have taken up the entire formitive years to have become sensible...Why cant they behave like the child and relive their childhood with them...I do that with every child I meet...My previous neighbours 4 year old son has an amazing remote controlled car..In my growing up days those were not the stuff that we used to get...so what did I do??I relived my growing up days playing with the car every evening once I was back home from work...The child got a company and I got to play with the car that I never did in my childhood....

We are all grown up these days with a lot of responsibility both personally and socially but even then a significant effort can be made to bring out the dead child burried inside many of us and not be ashamed of it...If only we can do this I am sure happiness and contentment will be knocking at the door.Small moments can be seen as lifes biggest events and troubled times can be easily treaded over but only with a child like innocence and ability to adapt to situations.....As children lets get back to childhoods house!!!!
