Due to rains and some health issues, I was not going out of
my house much for several days. That explains why I was looking at the neighborhood
with slightly curious eyes today. And I particularly noticed some scenes.
From a rubber hose for watering the lawn, suddenly water had started
spraying out in the open. A small boy had come to watch it. There was a look in
his eyes seeing the water sprays.
A little girl was walking in the park along with her father.
She was walking in a certain way. At times if she found something interesting
in the grass, she would bend and check it out. There was a curiosity in her.
Three small kids were playing near a shop. They just walked
in a straight line one after the other in one direction, then changed course
and walked in the other direction. They were happy doing this.
And a group of young kids were involved in a Ganesh Puja pandal
and were sitting on the stage, doing various things. There was their chatter.
There was their enthusiasm which would occupy them for several hours there.
When we go old, we tend to get bored soon. But when we are
kids, we seldom get bored as the world looks interesting to us. The difference
is in understanding. If we understand things, we no longer wonder about those
things. But because of this, as we grow older and wiser and begin to understand
most things, it is natural to lose interest and sense of wonder in most of the
things. It’s a challenge is to keep this world interesting enough as we progress
in life. I felt this after seeing those wonderful kids.
