From the deep recesses of my mind and heart

Memories are that which comes to you, in times of solitude or when you face or see a similar situation in life. Some memories are sought after, because it gives you a sweet, bitter pain. But some of them you feel like locking it up in the recesses of your heart and mind. Not because it gives you pain, but you don't want it to surface again in life.

The journey through life, brings before us, lots of sweet and bitter experiences. Some are naughty in nature, some rebellious and some that teaches us bitter lessons. Childhood is that phase of life, that everyone likes to reminisce. The older generation I feel must have had lots of childhood memories to cherish. But today's generation, with the fast pacing world and competition, are deprived a lot of this time and space that makes them cherish their childhood. Sometimes I think of my childhood and think of my carefree, naughty days. The school days that I enjoyed a lot. But even those days, the scenario weren't very different, except that we had a few understanding people in school to guide us through. Nobody would believe that there was a rebel in me, who still lives in me. I too had those days, when the rebel in me really took birth. A year of careless words, a period of " I care too hoots" attitude.

   I would say, this is a period where one should put a label, "Handle with care" around. One wrong move, one wrong word could turn everything for the worst. But  always a word of caution for this is, "Handle with love, utmost patience." Always a word of appreciation,  a little time spent daily for the bond, the love showered upon,the understanding shown.....all this goes a long way in the making of the rebel to excel. Children are never born troublesome. The circumstances and the experiences makes them so.  The mental turmoil of a child, makes him or her a rebel. Understanding of that turmoil, filling that mind with hope, confidence, trust, love, care can bring miracles. A person to look up to, to find that wee bit of inspiration is all it takes to change a child. It is not a one day process, it takes little doses of this inspiration, faith, and growing confidence to boost  the confused mind to come out of the shell of rebellion that it has built around.

It takes patience and time to boost up that rebel to excel and outshine everyone. The effort put into this is worth more than any other joy this world can ever give. The result is the love and confidence of a young angel and what can be more desirous that that. That is what makes life worthwhile, that love gained is worth more than any precious thing in this world.
