Give me some sunshine, give me some rain..

Schools once had a playground. That statement is not so far away from becoming a fact with rising problems of land and more focus on studies than sports. Now a days, schools and colleges are turned into pure profit making organizations with sole motto of earning profits. How to earn is no more a problem for them. Make students struggle like donkeys, make them get one of the top ranks in states and there we go.Parents become ready to spend lot of bucks on their wards to get into those best schools with top ranks.

                  However every one is missing the fact that "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy". People need to understand that by sending our kids to such schools we are playing with their childhood.We are depriving them of their innocence.We can understand the difference by comparing our childhood to their childhood.We had outdoor games, they have mobile games. We felt good by making new friends, they just want new facebook friends.Due to technological advancements, relations are already getting least priority in this fast paced life, and without sports, we are making it even more difficult for them to understand team work. Above all, their health itself is at big risk without any physical exercise.

          I hope parents start realizing the importance of sports which unfortunately is given low priority in developing countries like India where studies matter the most. I hope our future generation is not forced to sing this song " I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter"
