Fun @ Cartoon Network.com

Its the Tom and Jerry show!!

Its so much fun... i love tom and jerry

and ab i am hooked with tom and jerry games @ cartoon network site

Hats off to the creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera !! Muuahhh to tom and jerry!!

Give me some sunshine!!

DNA surveyed over 150 children and here's some of what they had to say:

- Listen to what we have to say

- Mom, Dad, we want more of your time... We may hate authority, but we do seek your advice. Pls be around to help us deal with the confusion.

- We want to do different things.. Homework's ok, but only if it's worth it..

When did you really see a child really as happy.. Getting enough time to play... to do things they enjoy.. not the things their parents want them to do.. I can assure the times we grew up were better... We had time for classes, for school and most importantly for play. These kids are a smart lot.. and all we are doing is making them follow the routine, monotonous life...

Tuitions have been so much in demand.. and good tuitions have been equivalent to loads of homework.. Just mugging up things is what the kids are made to do.. most wouldn't be able to answer meanings of simple words... but will write the whole essay.. writing one answer wrong in tuition amounts to writing it 10-15 times at home :(

Can you not hear a loud cry?? BACHAOOOOOOO..

Yes inculcating a habit to study is important.. but not at this cost.. A kid in 1st / 2nd standard spends on an average 7-10 hours in school, tuition, grammar classes and what not.. and then the much hated HOMEWORK... (why should one like it)... when is he to play.. many don't even have friends in vicinity to play with... Technology has touched their lives much sooner.. You can expect them to know things that even you did not in your cell phone.

Will we be compromising those smiles on their faces.. Will things just be so competitive for them right from start.. Will they have to cry each time they need parent attention

Will they sing in future

" GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE I WANNA GROW UP ONCE AGAIN!!"

I hope not...

But... We are genuinely concerned

Have you met a category of people who are just too concerned of your wellbeing.. Or about kya aap bachpan se hi aise hai?? i mean those who are not too close to you but still so worried.... uuiii maa

Few of my experiences:

- At office... i was a very quiet breed of creatures... talking to the point.. no unnecessary talks...

so one of my colleagues asked "kya tu friends ke saath bhi aise hi rehti hai"

haa haa mujhe to bhagwaan ne feviquick ka promotion karne paida kiya hai na... unless i am close to someone i wud rather keep things to myself..

- ek aunty hai meri doooor ki.. meri mom se bahut chinta wyaqt ki... aapki beti Podar college mein padhi...humari unki bachi bhi waha padhi... wo to ekdum jhakas ho gayi.. aapki beti to waisi ki waisi hi hai..

to aap kya expect karte hai ji..

- ye sawal to mujhe do logon ne pooch liya hai... kya mere aur meri behen ke bhi jagde hote hai.. nahi nahi... bilkul bhi nahi.. hum to honeymoon travels ke wo supercreatures hai.. Aspi aur Zara... are yaar unmein bhi jagde ho jate hai film ke climax mein...

- ek mera cousin aya tha ghar... not too close to me... i mean hi.. hello types.. us din he asks me so what you want to do.. (knowing ki abhi maine job chod diya hai).. MBA karna hai.. i said... thinking bus iske aage koi questioning nahi hogi.. but nahi aaj to thaan li thi mera case lene ki.. MBA ...humn... par karna kya hai.. Finance i said... haa par karna kya hai.. are mere bhai tujhe pata hai tujhe kya karna hai.. mujhse poochke kya mere plans chori karna chahta hai :)) nahi i dont really mean this.. but itni concern kyu.. and he has joined his dads business.. mostly after grad...

anyway

i am concerned of people whom i care for.. are duniya bhar ke liye concern kya dikhana.. wo bhi jhoothi... but anyway thanks to all for their concern.. after all every comment is a learning...
