People & Things

These days... kids have so many electronic games, sometimes a room filled with various toys.

But I dont think that would make them happy like those days, when kids enter the house, throw the bag in one corner, couldnt wait for mom to give the snacks or change the dress, do everything quicker and ask mom to let go, play until dusk, or until mom finds them two streets away from home, playing merrily with bunch of kids, dresses covered with all dirt& mud, to remind them that its time for homework.

Inspired from this recent note which read:

Love people and use things ..
Not love things and use people.

yeah, the recent issue of 'Time' has a cover story on the same issue.. Active play outside the home should be the way to spend the evenings.. not video games..
