The late Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru once remarked, “Wish children always remain children.” This was when he saw them happily playing in his garden.
What he must have meant was the innocence of children, no racism, greed or corruption, and the freedom to enjoy.
This may be a lesson to all of us.
If we can practise some of the qualities of our childhood, what a better country and world it will be.
