As
a child, I assumed the trees poke into the clouds, bursting and splashing
water, that comes as rain- just like an air filled balloon bursts while poked.
Asoka trees are the best, given their height. Again, for a long long time, I
believed Asoka trees were planted by King Asoka (courtesy: King Asoka planted
trees on either sides of the road).
What will my child imagine about- Perhaps, busy finding shapes in clouds, bringing home and taming pet birds, pampering babies, muscular arms, Dora’s adventures, solving mysteries with Team Umizoomi.
And what will this child dream about: http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/injured-aleppo-boy-is-latest-symbol-of-horrors-of-syria-war/article9002902.ece?w=alauto?
Of guns? Of blood? Of revenge?
We only imagine and dream about what we see and experience. What peace are they talking about??!!
