Tomorrow is 14th November,Children's Day!It marks the birth anniversary of legendary freedom fighter and independent India's first Prime Minister,Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.As a tribute to his love for children,Nehruji's birthday is celebrated all over India on children's day. Here is a rare photograph of Nehruji n Rajivji!he was called Chachaji by children.14th is a day to remember a leader,who in his quiet but determined way,laid the

foundation to convert a nascent nation into world power.Chachaji was immensely fond of children.The more popular and famous of Nehru's photos show him with children.In all photographs,Nehru's joy at being with children is apparent.children to Nehru were little adults in the making.Nehru to the children is never the Indian political leader and Prime Minister.he is always Chacha Nehru-Nehru Uncle.he started to wear a rose on his jacket after a child pinned one on it.
November14th is all about,
Innocence,joy and laughter,
The day dedicated to the minors.
Children are the greatest gifts of God,
Born to love n trust,care n concern.
Children's day is to celebrate childhood,
Tribute is offered to all children,
They are the most wonderful creation of God.
They win our hearts by their innocent smiles.
Children are loved by one and all.
We hold them close to our hearts,
Sing them songs n play with them.
The dirty diapers and dampened sheets,
A loving cuddle and a beautiful smile.
Childhood is fun and exciting,
It leaves unforgettable memories ,
In one's life to be cherished forever.
How can one forget the tricycles n bicycles?
The classwork n the homework?
The ponytails,golas and gilli danda,
Childhood is the best phase of one's life,
Free of societal responsiblities,
And financial burdens.
I often feel like going back to childhood,
Reliving the best time of my life.
The happy and good times
To be in the care of my loving parents,
Siblings and relatives of the joint family,
Growing up among many kids is real fun,
Learning to value everything in life.
Asking hundred and one 'why' questions,
Playing a number of outdoor games,
Feeling the pleasure in sailing paper boats,
In the rain water flowed in the courtyard,
The much awaited moments to attend the festivals,
The excitement in going for a circus and movie,
The birthdays and new dresses,
The delicious feast prepared by Amma,
The wonderful pookalam put for Onam,
The love for animals and birds,
The happiness in getting first rank ,
The prizes won in the competitions,
The teamspirit and the healthy competitions,
My childhood has left a lot of,
Rich experiences to be treasured forever!

Friends,this day reminds to each and everyone of us to renew our commitment to the welfare of children and teach them to live by their dreams and values.all over

the country,various cultural,social and even corporate institutions conduct competitions for children.children these days can engage in avariety of activities that help to bring out their talents.from offering a variety of hobby classes to hosting camps and workshops,schools today,are actively encourage all around development in the students.even parents are leaving no stone unturned in developing their child's creativity.we must treat a child like an individual with his own views and opinions.children today have a variety of interests and various avenues of excersing them.from television to video games to outdoor activities,they have too much to do in too little time.:)
''Of all created things,the loveliest
And most divine are children''.
''Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them''.
''While we try to teach our children all about life,our children teach us what life is all about'.:)
But then entire populace of young ones that are left ignored this special day are the downtrodden street children. sad fact is that,only a section of the country's children have an opportunity to celebrate this day.let's do our share of showing kindness and causing a smile to the less fortunate!let children enjoy and live life to the fullest!childhood should not be a burden or nightmare!There are special kids with special needs.they have special schools where the children develop their social and individual skills and feels recognised.These children are physically or mentally differently abled requiring special needs.such children have emotions just like you and me.some are exceptionally talented too in music,sports and art.fFriends,let us be more sensitive and understanding of teh world of children with special needs.I used to attend their cultural programme and their talents make me humble.if you come across such children,who are not enrolled in a school,tell their parents about the special schools.let the kids cherish their childhood!:)
Today is my chetathiyamma's [sis
