To the Child in You

-



 It's Children's Day today. While it may not mean anything to millennials in 2023, back when we were in school, it was a big deal. Most of the schools didn't give a holiday for it, but some of them did give us some gifts. We used to get a packet or box with sweets and mixture. 


Most of the millennials would agree to the fact that our childhood was simple . We didn't have a clue what was happening all over the world and were content with what little we had. There was no responsibility or strings attached to us. We believed that life was a joyful ride and parents had our back. 


Cut to now, most of us are having a tough time dealing with responsibilities, finances and work stress. We have fallen into a mechanical loop and hardly have moments of bliss. 


"On this Children's day, Let's rediscover the lost Joy of Childhood once again."
