Summer Nostalgia

Where did all the summer fun go??

I miss those days when summer vacations were a much awaited affair. All the cousins getting together at one place to have a month long blast. Lazy afternoons and endless fun. Buckets of mangos and ice lolly and never ending games and fights. Chor sipahi and evening gali cricket , nothing could stop us from playing not even the scorching heat of mid june.  But today, i see children bound to summer schools and activities. Children are busy more than ever competing, studying and learning to get that extra edge.

Children deserve a break too and so do their parents who are mostly running around from one tuition to other lesson class. The exhausting circle is never ending and the worst part of the whole drama is most of these extra classes serve no purpose, but they do over burden the child and burn a hole in parents pocket.

Summers should be free of apps and internet, days should be full of joy and delight. Children these days are so absorbed in TV and Tablets that they are missing out on the whole part of being a child is to be not chained to one place.

Let children be children. Lets not take away their childhood with too much of vain activities.
