Its Kiddys Day :)

Heyyyy

Okie i know its past 12 am and today is considered as the 15th..but as per my rule..its not a new day till i see the sun rise again :)..Now technically yesterday was the 14th i.e. CHILDRENS DAY...well according to Indian tradition atleast. It is basically Pandit Jawaharlal Nehrus birthday and he loved children so this day is dedicated to children..and why not...you have mothers day(which suprisingly is 3 times a year) and fathers day so there should be a day dedicated to all the awesome children out there in the world. I for one had always got an opportunity to celebrate this day cause my school used to organise a carnival for it every year. Wow those were the days..the amount we would dance..put henna on our hands..it was the one day we got to wear casual clothes so it was the time to dress up as well.

Childhood...today as im at the brink of turning 18 and becoming an adult i feel like i can really look back at it all now and get this big smile on my face. It was the time when you never cared about anything..you could have fun in absolutely mad games and you never held a grudge against anyone. Swings,cartoons,icecreams that was life..i could eat all day and not care if i was putting on wieght or anything..but somehow every child wants to grow up and every grown up wants to be a kid again..The grass is always greener ont he other side as they say. The sad part is that there are children int he world who are deprived of a childhood..due to poverty,household violence,communal problems among other things..The years in life that make you the person that you are..these are the years that are stolen from these children. All i pray is that every child in the world gets to experience a beautiful childhood so that when they grow up and life is not fair they have memories that they can look at and smile :)

A few years back i had written a poem on 'Teenage Trauma' because at that time i thought becoming a teenager was the hardest thing that was happening to me but obviously i hadnt expected adulthood to be running along....and though i think this poem is on my other blog..i will put it here too

It feels like I turned thirteen yesterday
The happiness of becoming a teen what can I say
Never expected life to get so complicated
Wanna go back to the kiddy days which I hated
Looking around to see if I might
A sweet friendly face in sight
But the days seem so long
Everything going on is wrong
Go are the days of hide and seek
All we do now is pick on the weak
Gossip seems like an everyday routine
Never realize if to anyone we’ve been mean
Sitting down to catch up on books
All I remember Is that dreamy guys looks
The girl who scored an a plus
Dropped down to a c without a fuss
Pigtails, cartoons, and video games at loss
All we think of is clothes and lip gloss
But is life as bad as we see
Are we half as bad we seem to be
Still in our heart lives the little girl
Who once in a while does take a twirl
So give her a chance, bring her back
Bring back the happiness which you lack
Say no to all wrong things
Speak the truth even if it stings
Have a picnic with your pals
Become the same old kiddy gals
Cause if you don’t you might miss a lot
Will become the depressed person you want to be not
Being a teen has its fun and frolic
Just don’t grow up to be a workaholic
So here’s a teenage girl telling u
Do whatever your heart says to do
