At 8 - We grew up in a neighborhood where most elders weren't too fond of children. Cliched isn't it. But behold, we children weren't all that nice as well - Brats were what we were call then.
We hit tennis ball on-the-fly and into the soup (or should I say sambar) and then even before someone yelled or came out, we were off.
Then there were occasions where threw wet tissues from the terrace ensuring that it had a safe landing on one's head.
Yes, besides being pranksters, most children also have ambitions of reaching for the sky and making it big.
At 16 - Here came the celebrations, a long and hard cricket match finally won. With the tennis ball as a match souvenir we strolled around the park splashing Cola & water on each other (couldn't get sambar this time around).
This was after all the Blue-Star tournament finals, one of the biggest tennis ball tournaments in Chennai. The winners here take it all and no tissue boxes could savage the sweat and tears that downed during the matches.
We felt we had truly reached for the stars.
At 24 - The News includes:
BCCI bowls out Cricket Australia (not much of champagne or sambar)
Ponting and team Australia shed no tears (no need of tissues as well)
But what's contest is our desire to reach for the sky or stars. Now I realize that children have an opportunity to experience the sky, stars, etc. at the best possible site - NASA
Parents and teachers this time under the supervision of Children also get to visit NASA and experience the hub of Rocket Science. The challenge is organized by an e-learning portal 24x7guru.com, and was launch by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan.
