The Mute vs..... non mute!

Ah! good old days where are you?
oh Doremon! I soooo dont want to see you!
I dont see why that guy always has to scream and cry
And have to always on a robotic cat rely!
I soo wish they were mute...
oh I get it there are kids that love you
But oh wait! my kids dont watch you anymore
Know why? cz Nobita's got a problem with his mom
This can be true in most of the homes
But I refuse to instill this idea in my kid's world.

Oggy, joe and the rest of you
I am not going to let Hishamal watch you
Instead they will learn my language...they will speak like me..
And so lovely stories I shall narrate
Of morals and courage and of great victories
Hmmm....sounds great but still they wish to watch TV
and so there's mister maker doing rounds these days
And now they cut, they paste and paint
And what joy it is to watch them play this way!

well...I had initially planned to write an article but ended up writing this poem 'like' thing.
Anyway my point was how lovely it would have been if the mute came back...the likes of tom and jerry...
where there would not have been overly awkward dialogues....why has the innocence lost? if these cartoons are for kids then why dont they make it like that...with masoomiyat, shararat and lots of laughter!

Jaane kahan gaye vo din!!!

'Unschooling'

Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

And I knw its been ages since I have written stuff...
Actually I have been upto trying to set up a business...and yesterday suddenly I thought what was the need?!
I don't have financial problems or identity crisis but still I want to set this thing up...

And whoooooooooop came the answer (I guess) when I opened the internet today...
It as a TED talk by a 13 yr old...(Apologies! I dont remeber his name) and that was totally what we were looking for our kids. A breakthrough from the 'Traditional Education'. You must have heard the statement "I Was born intelligent, Education ruined me!" I totally believe in that... And I hate to say it but that's true. I am sure many of you will agree with me. You don't teach children to think on their own. You feed children with what has been taught through ages and that totally prevents the child from utilising his own gifted mind.

I am totally in with the 'unschooling ' idea. I would love it if my kid grew up learning first hand experiences, love nature, understand religion, relationships....

So, like everybody else even I am unsure of what my kid would be when he will grow up...
But for the mom I am ....I think he will have a family business to come back to if he doesn't end up with a job that requires some freaking degree. So that answers my query to why the business!

And as to what I want him to be.....I would love it if he ends up being a sensible,sensitive and a happy individual.

Oh God! M getting old!

Yea! Fact of life!...

I looked at myself in the mirror and I could see those fine lines under my eyes...and those fine black spots they speak of as 'sign of ageing'! And oh my! the grey hair!! But then Mariam my friend who's also a hairstylist assured me even the 16 year olds had that problem... Was I relieved? ummm yes, to an extent...But still I looked away from the mirror.... c'mon i m just 26....perhaps m  thinking too much, seeing too much!

But yes everyone of us is getting older by the day.... but what was my concern, really?

This 'routine' , aimless life was taking its toll on me...

I had ideas I knew worked but damm! the time...its running as if there's someone waiting for it at the end of the tunnel!

I hate to sit back and think I didnt do things when I should have........
