Indulge in love

My son keeps telling me these days, after he has turned 13, that I wish I can go back to my early childhood. There was so much love, fun, frolic and enjoyment. There was so much smile and laughter in all our faces. Today, everyone is busy in their own world and no one seems to have time for one another. Nor do we smile or laugh much these days….it seems like a mirage. Does the word smile even exist in our life. You are grumpy, Mom is angry with me all the time and I am literally sad with school and studies. What life is this really? Where has all of this gone….one has to agree to what he has stated which is an absolute truth. It really seems like we don’t have time together as a family at all…these days…what has happened to us. I wonder…if this is how life is supposed to be or we are treading on the wrong path….it all comes down to peer pressure, expectations and aspirations of what one has to be when the kid grows up into an adult….that is why we always wish…let us go back in time and be the baby we once were…forgetting everything and enjoy the warm cuddles and caressing kisses of parents…only if life can stand still at that stage….

Has life become a Joke…or have we become Jokers….
