LET US BE KIDS AGAIN!

I am looking for certain people. Can you help me find them? They belonged to a world of simplicity. Small gestures and things made them smile. I cannot see the smiling faces anymore. Can you see them? Can you take me to that same world again? I guess not. I guess you too are trapped in the same world. We all are, trapped in our masks, which just wont come off.

I remember the times when we were kids, like real kids. For us happiness was watching our favourite cartoon, building sand castles and not singing Honey Singh songs. Counting holidays in school calenders was the real euphoria we received every single day. Pre recess preparations, making cricket teams and do the toss so that it wont waste time and not wait to take off the mobile phone, yes that was our childhood. Playing with friends all the crazy games of hide and seek and not hide ourselves for real, from the world. Yes, that was childhood. Come night, watching tv and falling asleep, waiting for your dad to carry you to your bed and not your girfriend's text. Yes that is what my and many others childhood comprised of. Gone are those days I believe. All we are left with today are mobile phones and fingers that keep fidgeting. Hearts which never seem to be pleased. Gone are the days when a child can be called innocent, ah you can call him "smart" instead. Gone is the simplicity, all we are left with is emptiness, loud music, dark rooms and cellphone lights which keep on lighting all night. I say put that thing aside. Lets be kids again, lets build sand castles again. Lets be foolish again. Let us fall and learn to rise again. Let us be kids again!
