"Red day"

It was "red day" in my son's playhome on 29th July. When my wife told me about the "red day" it didn't strike me. And then she explained - the playhome "celebrates" different days. To name a few - red day, blue day, green day, pets' day, flowers' day, etc., to inculcate appreciation among kids for different facets of nature. I went to attend the "red day" with a bit of skepticism. But, I was surprised by 2 things: One, there were many parents like me who actively participated; two, the joy & happiness of these tiny tots in taking their parents around their school & show them all that their school has taught them, which they have learnt.

While the degree of "active participation" of the parents varied & is debatable, the joy, happiness, & pride among most kids i came across was amazing. As i observed this fact, one thing struck me hard - IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR EVERY PARENT TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHILD'S JOURNEY. Only then will the child develop appreciation for some of the subtle things in life & help the child in learning better; qualities which can lighten up one's life forever, irrespective of one's chosen profession or work area...

As I walked thru' the school premises holding my son's little hand, i myself sensed the pride in him. I was totally surprised when he introduced me to a couple of his friends saying - this is my dad. More surprise was in store for me when he introduced me to his teacher as well.

As i walked back home, i realized that these kids are indeed LITTLE ANGELS...

Here are a few frames i captured on the occasion.
