A grand sports day held at my son’s school. A wonderful morning with happy faces, kids enthusiastic to perform and parents eager to watch their kids shine bright. Whenever, I attend these kind of events, it takes me down memory lane with my mind trying to remember my old school days and my heart smiling to see my friends in those memories. “Those were the days”(simple and joyful)...! But the sound of the mike brought me back to the present day. And, the sports day begins with a very impressive March pass, a disciplinary walk with the sounds on the drum brings goosebumps. A feeling of pride immediately touches your heart. This was followed by a wonderful garba drill, a innovative concept very well choreographed with very young kids of standard one, two and three. And suddenly, I get a push from behind with parents wanting to see their kids perform. And I couldn’t help myself, butstarted look at them. I, must say what an amusing sight to watch!!!!! Suddenly, a hundred photographers were on the ground..... It took my breath away. I, guess me and some other parents whose kids were not in that performance were the only ones CLAPPING....... Life has come a long way though.. We have come from the “Clapping Days to Clicking days”. Well, Clapping days were those days when kids performed and parents clapped. Better the performance, more the claps . The sound of the claps boosted the kids to push themselves hard. I, have heard an actor in an interview said, he preferred stage acting better than film, only because he could hear the audience clapping for him and this was a great motivation to him. So now we are from Clapping days to Clickkng days... Clicking days (Joyful yes, Simple definately not) are the present days when our hands are busy clicking photographs with the cell phone. No complains though, as me myself is a clicking bug. There are moments which you wanna capture and cherish . Right!
