Being a child was so much fun. Life those days was ruled by one's one wishes. Tantrums and naughty acts filled the canvass of life those days with a multitude of emotions and joy. Now, when years have rolled over and one can no longer be called "child", memories of those days still flash now and again. With time and age, come up responsibilities, commitments and restrictions. Time that was once surplus is the most precious one these days.
However, the monotonous lifestyle rips off the joy and pleasure over time. One needs to be active, engaging and creative to feel the essence of life. There is great difference between existing and living. People have been saying "Live life to the fullest!". But, in the chase of success, achievements, career and all worldly possessions, people forget to live their very own life. People can't afford to find leisure and relaxation. Every moment passed is accounted and comes with expectation of being spent productively.
Moments are no longer spent for joy and peace. Hobbies and activities have rusted in the attic. Life of this sort would deprive one of true happiness and enjoyment. There has to be a perfect delicate balance among the various priorities in one's life. Hobbies and recreation should be followed with interest and continues sans expectations of any achievement out of it. Else, it won't count as a hobby!
Painting would have been every child's favorite pastime. It is said to improve your creativity, enhance patience and refresh nervous coordination. Still, people despite of liking it, don't make it a point to spend even some time for it. With all the regret of seeing myself turn my life into a monotonous mechanical one, I decided to spend some time having fun and tried my hand at painting after a really long time. This left me with a painting that looks just like a "Child's play".
