The most precious thing in this world is a smile on a child’s face.
Every child is a different kind of a flower and altogether make this world a beautiful garden. Children’s Day is celebrated as a tribute to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on his birthday, November 14. He was known for his affection for kids.
He fondly quoted, “Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the nation’s future and the citizens of tomorrow.”
Schools and teachers make this day exciting. There are games, contests and cultural shows. Children get little presents and enjoy sweet treats. But the real magic of Children’s Day is our promise to care for them.
A child always teach an adult two things. To be happy for no reason, To be always busy with something.
Let us take a moment and relive our childhood on this Children’s day.
