Aathreya - A Young Friend
One good thing happened
while this journey to Tirupati from Thanjavur on 30th July night is that I got
a young friend named Aathreya, who is studying 4th standard at Maharishi Vidya
Mandir School at Thanjavur.
It's is a simple yet
worthy event to share with you all. Though it's so late to post about him now,
But I request everyone those who read this post to wish him a "Belated
Birthday Wishes". His Birthday was on 5th August.

| Aathreya Sharma |
His full name is Aathreya Sharma. He was heading towards Vellore to his grandparent's house with his mom and younger brother Kaushik Sharma. My interaction with this young friend of mine was one such memorable and interesting incident which made my travel towards Tirupati in an old TNSTC bus.
All that began when I
offered him my window seat as he was sitting separately from his mother and
younger brother and I was just sitting behind their seat. I just casually began
the conversation by asking his whereabouts and as he is a kid he enjoyed his
travel by looking out the scenes through the windows and didn't felt sleepy.
Aathreya was so
energetic that day that he kept on asking me some GK questions and various
puzzles from his school syllabus. As all the young talents have high grasping
power, he too was strong in grasping information and remembered most of the GK
questions like "books and authors, currencies and capitals, etc.” Also he
had a great interest in cricket and remembered many international players’
names from which questions also asked.
Aathreya is also cute
and he was rubbing his hands on my cheeks to feel the growing beard while
speaking and asking questions. I loved him throughout the journey. He slept on
my lap when he felt sleepy after a long interesting question and answers round
as well as 2 hour lengthy interaction.
He was heading to his grandparents’
house and after that he went to Chennai where his dad is and celebrated his
birthday eve.
Why I am writing this?
Since many of you who
all are reading this might think this is a simple incident, why I am taking up
this to the blog?
Yes it's simple but I'm
writing this with another message to say some of the parents who just give
their phone to their own wards and ruining their future. To those who give the
phone to their wards, you're not only ruining their future but also their
ability to work or think beyond their box. You might say that your children are
adamant and not listening to anything without handing your phone over to them,
let them cry for a while, yell, roll on the floor and let them do whatever they
want to do, but don't give your phone to them. Let them get to know that things
won't come to you on ease, show them that they got to work for something to
earn and to enjoy.
Make them indulge in any
kind of sports to keep them active and strong. Tell them your own stories that
how you got to learn things and life lessons and how hard your life was. For
today's people out there, they've got no time to spend time with their children
and this results in the misbehavior of the children in some cases. They do what
they learn in their young age. If they are not guided properly then there is no
use of worrying later about their deeds.
Bring your wards out of
the dumb box mobiles and teach those values and ethics, that’s how we should
secure the future for them. Tell them to not to waste food, water, energy and
tell them to how to protect them all. Spend ample amount of time to know what
all things they’re into. That's how 90's kids were grown up. In my opinion we
are the safest generations who values all things from food, water to friends
and families.
Since the second part of
this post is all about an advice don’t get bored and stop reading, I want to
make sure that 'I wrote all these with my experience as far, There might be
some mistakes Please spare me for that and there are some exceptions too.'
Specifically for this I welcome all your suggestions and views about this post.
Yours East
