Kiddishness and Learning

What? Why? Why not this way? How? When? Haven't you been haunted by such questions by some kid whom you had to take care of for a while? Or if you are a father or mother you surely would have faced the rapid fire of such questions from your loved ones. And many a time we might have got perplexed why is that so? Or it might be then that you might have really started to think what on the world is the answer to this question. Though you might not fear to give any answer to this new entrant of our Mammoth World of ours, but time will teach him the correct answer and then the kid will come back to you embarrass you with his right answer of His. Better we say the right answers and if we don't know just search and let the right information pass down to the kid. Again, just think for a while. Are you feeling such questions in your heart when you move around. If yes, then the kid in you have not died yet. But then, are you daring to find the answers to those haunting questions? If not, please do try. For those who don't have such questions coming to mind should try to develop the habit of asking such why questions around you. I remember as a kid, I told to my father, that I had finished studying and I am going  to play. Then he gave a very philosophical answer, which I keep to my heart. You start dying the day you stop learning. I add this too to it. And we continue to grow till the time we continue learning. Only a kid can grow. Let us not forget to ask questions and learn so that the kid in us will never die.
