Children, especially those in large cities, are enamored by technology and fascinated by gadgets. They seek instant gratification and constant stimulation. This is what makes them overlook the diminutive beauties of life and results in children being not reflective enough.
Here we present to you the work of 12 year old Dhruv which has made many adults reflect on their acuity about the children of today. Dhruv’s keen observation, his ability to connect with small details in the real world, to internalise, ruminate and express deep thoughts is what has taken many by surprise.
I am really interested in acting and sketching. I play piano and compose music of my own. Apart from this, playing games is something I love.
In school, we made some pots. I was very happy with the way my pot was looking. But, when our pots came back from glazing, they looked so uninteresting. This made me really disappointed.
The person who sent our pots back said that he tried to find an ode for a pot to console us but couldn’t. That’s when I decided to write an ode for my pot.
I showed this ode to my class teacher. Everyone liked it so much that they decided to include it in the pottery manual for reference. I never thought thiswould come out so well. It feels great to get so much appreciation.
Certainly, yes! Even presently, I am writing a comic book. Once I complete it, I would get it published.
Dhruv’s work and a one-to-one conversation with him left us with many questions.
Are the children of today really not allied to nature?
Do they really fail to spot the small details and little beauties that life has to offer?
How many of us, as adults, will be fascinated by an object as mundane as a pot and will use it as a
starting point to derive such deep meaning from a simple every day experience?
