So much have changed!!!

From last many months, I have not played any outdoor games. I still remember the fun and spirit of playing cricket and football with all my friends. In a single ground there used be all various players of different ages. A kid, teens, adults, married and even grey beard uncle of two kids. A complete family was there. We played irrespective of rain, storm, darkness, fog and scorching sun. oh!! while talking about different states of weather, why am I forgetting to talk about rain. I am sure not just kids and teens feel like heavens when it rains but even adults, uncles and even granmaa feel the same. In last so many years, I turned to an adult from a teen but its painful to recollect memories of old days. I no more play, I no more play when it rains, when there is storm, when there is fog, now no one comes to my home early in the morning and shouts my name. I guess my ma also misses that. My sports shoes always pray to God to see green grass and get drenched in the morning dew.

There are other things as well, simultaneously happening with my poor state of not playing and enjoying what i used to enjoy the most. Our cricket ground has been converted to concrete squares with roofs to keep urbanized humans. Urbanization have even swallowed our backyard trees which used be a favorite destination for kids to play kanche and gilli danda. more and more trees are being cut everyday. More and more playing grounds are being converted to societies.

My friends and me have been lucky to at least see what is rain and what is shadow. We have been lucky to play in the grounds and where we shared our happiness and disappointments with all. Being a kid, teen and youngster, I know that how does it feel to be enjoying with nature's most precious gifts.

This is am emotional side and emotional after affects of snatching these resources from kids and teens. They learn from it and its the biggest learning. But looking at the dangerous side of it, we are facing abnormal temperature of 44*C in the month of May. In last many years, we have not seen a heavy rain in which we used to ride our paper boats. We have not seen many kids playing Gilli Danda, Kanche, Latto and many more sports of galli. There is no space at all. There is no will at all.

Just see that, it s my own experience that in last many years with loosing cricket grounds, trees, rain and will so much have changed. Tsunami and Cyclones, more and more Mumbai and Bihar floods and no rain at all in some states. Do you see the connection between changing will and changing natural phenomenon. I do not know what is changing both. Both are changing but this change is not good. We have already seen that. But future will see the worst.

So, it is the time to change. Grow more and more trees. Save play grounds and save water. To be the part of natural life which is the right and normal life.
