The Kid That Was Me

Whenever kids get together, there exists no barrier between or around them and nothing but love envelopes their world.


There was this Save Earth contest that was coming up and we had to think of a brilliant concept and make a film out of it. So I thought of a film that’d employ toys to convey a message and shared the idea with my executive creative director. The next day I was in the parking lot going for a walk with my notepad in hand when I met my boss. He said that he liked my idea but I ought to grow up because I’m always thinking about toys. Then this blog happened.

Children are always brimming with innocence. You must watch the brilliance that radiates from their eyes which eventually draws you towards them. It’s no wonder everybody adores kids. In a world full of deceit and hatred, a kid’s smile has the power to put the worst in our lives way behind us.
The problem with us, adults is that we complicate simple situations we’re in, watch things get out of hand and before it’s too late to realize what’s wrong, we believe we’re doing great.

Yesterday I jotted down a few points I thought I had to share with the creators of humanity. What if we all never grew up? Think of a world where all of us remained as kids. We’d be in a fantasy, more like a dream under the present circumstances. Imagine going back to the past, to a time when you had nothing but toys in your mind. Make it a surrealistic world overflowing with ecstasy.

Rewriting the genetic books with a dose of optimism would make this world new and stimulating. Then life would be all about fun and loving each other. With no master and no slave, the absence of inequality is not even appreciated since we wouldn’t even know what that means.

But then we wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t grown up, would we?
