CHILDREN's DAY

It was Children's day yesterday on 14th November 2006; this day is celebrated every year in India. It’s been celebrated on Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday the first Prime Minister of India. I remember when I was in school I used to be very excited about children’ day, the reasons being many like it was a celebration day at school, then we got chocolates and also wore civil dress to celebrate. Our teachers performed for children on this day at school. It used to be very exciting to see your teachers perform. This was celebrated till I was in my Xth Std. Then I entered college, suddenly no more children's day, as now we were grown ups. But still even though our age keeps growing, but the child in us never goes. Atleast the child in me is very much alive, I just wonder it’s been 10 years now since I last celebrated Children’s Day, but still I feel like celebrating this special day. Sometimes it feels really bad as why did I grow up to face all this kind of life today, I should have remained a child. But yes life has to go on, but do not kill the child within you, keep it alive. It is the best experience in one’s life.
