The Kids Are Alright


It’s Children’s Day here in India today folks! It may seem odd that I am writing about this day, seeing as it’s just a normal day for me. But it isn’t one for them you see…

A Diwali pic I clicked. The one on the right is by my friend Suvra Shankar Basu Roy (phew!) or SSBR for short













Which brings me to what Children’s day means to me. When I was a kid, not so many years ago, it used to mean movies on TV and functions at school. Our teachers used to dress up and perform or they used to take us out to amusement parks. At home, sometimes mum used to give me a chocolate. One thing that was very much on the cards was a day off from studies, although nowadays, that has sort of hit the back burner. Somehow even though it’s been a while since I attended a function or switched on the telly on C-day, I always feel a little happier today. Methinks I should buy myself a chocolate today.

Tomorrow, I’ll be the guy who wants to get into college, with an epic certificate exam result.

Today, I’m a KID!

Oh , that brings me to this lovely advertisement that Hero Motor Corp have made. The song is called “Hum Mein Hain Hero” which means “There’s a Hero in all of Us”. It’s sung by AR Rahman, who I guess needs no intro. Happy Children’s Day folks!
