Keep the child alive

We have always heard people saying “keep the child in you alive”, though I musth ave felt the same way round earlier as well but it was today that I realized real meaning of sentence,

This cute little girl of around an year enlightened my day today and hence is the reason and cause of my daily inspiration for today.

We didn’t know each  other when our eyes first met, all I had was a smile on my face which I would have seeing any infant and she had the same response on her face, as if she acknowledged the message that I conveyed. What came next was series of smiles, copying of expression, hide and seek, and her naughtiness and me telling her not to do so and this all happened in sign language as she was sitting at a decent distance away from me.

The child in you should be alive always so that you may smile and acknowledge every new person you meet, you welcome the exchange of thoughts, you are enthusiastic to know each other and new things in life, you are over joyed to discover a new relationship which might not last for long. So that you have a heart to forget and forgive. So that you have the innocence of being called a kid who lacks knowledge but is willing to learn, you should be a kid always so that you know how to subside ego’s and enjoy the pleasure of being selfless.
