Are Traditional Games in the verge of extinct??!

Those were the days when I used to play under trees, get myself muddy, and get scolding from my mother. While I was in school I was very much interested in playing outdoor games with my friends especially during my afternoon lunch break. I used to wait for this hour skip my meals and run to play. It was more of fun and this also kept me united with my friends even in midst of those small little fights.

 I was more interested in playing jubilee and ice-spice. As soon as I reached home I used to run out to play along with my cousins. Playing ludo and carom was one of the indoor games we played especially when it rained outside. But as days grew I really started missing these games. I no longer play them anymore. I missed the fun I had in playing those games. I wish I would have my childhood days back. I recollect my childhood days now and laugh at them just by remembering the fun I had in playing those games especially by those small fights I had while playing with my friends. But now a days it’s been a tendency to forget them.

 We no longer see children playing these "traditional games”. They are much busier than we are in this competitive world, less of fun and more of goals in winning this competition of life. The explosive growth of social media, smart phone is transforming the younger children's lives. Now  fun according to the younger generation is individually playing cell phone games or play stations. They are very much into it. These games make them self-centered and aggressive. They have the fear of loosing the game which later on instills in them the fear of losing life's battle's as they grow up.

 The unity and friendship we had in our childhood days is no longer seen. Parents are very keen in making their children excel right from the childhood days rather than encouraging them in enjoying their childhood days.

 Now all we can do is just recall back our childhood days because we can no longer see them and wish that our future generation is able to make good use of these “traditional games”. We at least remember our childhood days by the fun we had....but by what will the present young children recall and laugh at their childhood days????
