Change for what ?????

When we grow up , our thoughts  change . Our visions change. Our requirements change. The people we love, change. Some close friends become visitors and normal friends become very close to our heart. We called it 'LIFE'. When we were kids , our dreams were different . But today kids need to have a Barbie Doll , or to eat from Mc Donalds or to go to a virtual trip to  Zoo are the major requirements among them . It was not complicated decades ago . In another words , in that time we were  hard wired simply . But today ,as mature adults we become more and more complicated. If some one asks you about your motives , you would take few minutes to think. You may change your motives according to the situation. 

I wanna see the change , in a different angel. I wanna give it the Helicopter view and evaluate where 'change' stands. When we go to the clothing store , with in few moments we change our ideas . We might go in thinking about buying a dress , but end up with buying T shirts or shorts. Its the way of the human mind.Ten years ago , we were satisfied with rice and curries for all three meals. But today , we need different things for different meals. We care our body shape , weight , beauty and health . We prefer to have a fruit for breakfast ,and a little bit of rice with vegies for lunch and a light diet for dinner .Wise people follow their meals and do regular exercises and at the same time , fools fill their tummies with all unhealthy , colorful food. When my mom was young , she ate rice for all three meals and she was a bit fat . She did not care about her beauty after having kids. But when I was growing up , she controlled my diet . She was behind me restricted eating unhealthy food. Sweets were completely restricted. As a result , we grew up with healthy bodies and after having two grown ups , I maintain myself in a satisfactory way. When the stress is high , weight gains , but with in few weeks I manage to reduce it. It was the education I got from my mom. That CHANGE is good.

When it comes to kids , they forget their main target. But they go after  games. They have no time to play physically. Instead they play computer games. They do not know how to pick a flower or how to water a flower plant . They have their own virtual worlds. I still can recall the good times I had in the woods with my cousins. We had enough time to play cricket and Elle. We were chasing the fruit trees and filled sacks with different fruits. We made pickle and ate hours while reading books on a branch of a tree. We had time to watch stars , see the beauty of moon and we wrote poems. I can still remember the food I made for tea . I had a memorable child hood. I had a passion for reading and writing. In my spare time I read books ,poems and papers. I was a matured kid , before attaining age. I knew most of the things by experience. How to have kids , How to look after pets , what is the political back ground of the country /? How much is a kilo of flour ? How to cook rice ? I knew everything by heart. I did not learn rote , when I was learning . I accepted the theories logically.

Most kids , they need  not to know anything logically. They accept everything as it is . They prefer to follow the easy way , not the right way .    They are lazy. They became lazy , because of the education system . They do not have to do references. They just read the text book and read the notes and done. They do not need to enhance their knowledge. Its not their problem. Its because of their parents Island mentality . They cant think beyond the box. We need to do reforms immediately. And we have to start it from the education.

Every adult must get a sound knowledge about health , good habits and values. If the adults as leaders walk properly , followers will walk wisely. Change in the sense , mentally , physically and spiritually.We have to have a good discipline with in us. Discipline is the main component of a  successful life. 

My son knows that money cant buy everything. He knows the factors of success is always depend the personnel behavior. My daughter knows that too. I wish if every son and daughter will understand the same  in a peaceful way !! Amen !.
