Another year coming to an end
Like every year this year is also counting its closing days. November is almost finished, December, the month of holidays, celebration is stepping in. Within fortnight annual examinations in schools will be over. Children after their examination will enjoy a complete holiday. The little buds who have to follow "early to bed, early to rise" will suddenly enjoy a cosy morning sleep. They will pass their time in playing, watching TV and by doing trifles. In the afternoon some of them will gather on the terraces or in the narrow streets to play their own version of badminton or cricket. The wealthy parents go out to enjoy holidays, some of them visit their grandpas. Few serious kids do some handwritings or math for personal betterment. Most of them really don't care. But, some will have to pass hellish life because they are in the war of admission tests. Some things really don't change that much. The kids of 2004 resemble the kids of 1984 in many ways. They really make me realise leisure values most in routine.
