REWIND, PAUSE…PLAY!

Here is a story, I narrate,
Sure of which I am, many of you relate.

        Fondly I remember, of a childhood I had,
            Where we had cognitive development, sans an IPad.

Psychomotor skills, were developed naturally,
Sadly which are now, imposed forcefully.
            
Peaceful and calm, were our composure,
           Contrary to what we face today, constant pressure.

Memories were recorded, in diary and slambook,
As opposed to today, where we store them on Facebook.
          
 There is a huge difference, between now and then,
           The present day, that’s losing connection with pen.

Carefree were those days, happy too,
A story which could be unbelievable, to the generation new.

HUES!

There is something which very beautifully spreads, Let me clarify it’s not the one on your slice of bread.                  There are different shades from the palette range,          Subtle hues of blue, purple, yellow and orange. Lot of us miss out on witnessing this sight, Except the ones who toil from dawn to night.         There’s a saying which we know I would like to in this comprise,         Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Waiting to see it in its full glory when in a hurry may seem an eternity, But when having ample leisure time, it spreads as fast as the power of gravity.              Do try to see this, God’s masterpiece,          ...

She asks her daughter to describe about the carrots turning soft and eggs turning hard.
