So we have Children's day today .. Great!! a day for the kids to enjoy .. as if on other days they are not supposed to!!!
But just look up the children around you.. and you will realize that even a dedicated day also fails to force the kids let loose and enjoy, forgetting all the mundane chores. You ask what's keeping them from the fun and the answer is screaming right in your face - STUDIES!
I read an article today in our cherished TOI (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3707932.cms) citing the same issue. Little kids of age eight and ten making statements like “My parents tell me that to be a step ahead of my contemporaries as far as academics are concerned, I must read the encyclopedia, or “There is hardly any time to play, there are many exams, and I have to do well.” really makes one to think what has been done to the childhood of these kids and so many like them.
As the peer pressure grows and the expectation of parents looms over their heads like some dagger, children struggle to keep up with the pace. I myself have been part of this rat race which is never ending so cant say its not needed. But to what extent.. to what extent can we push them is a question each parent will have to ask himself/herself.
I so wish that this rat race ends and the children are able to go back to ..as the paper say..paper boats and fairy tales but I know it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. So good luck to all those who are part of this mad race.
May All Win!

Life comes in various hues and colours.. spreading joy and cheers everywhere..at times bringing in sorrow and despair...but that is what life is all about!! Spreading hope in times of despair and joy in times of sorrow is what maintains iridescence in the sky of life..

You don't need to be the slightest bit mechanically-inclined to disassemble or reassemble it, as there are no tricky bolts, screws or clamps you'll have
to deal with. I am ripped as which to keep as I cannot swing
