having good time with children over spring break. they get to play with their friends and use all the things around the house to entertain themselves. sometimes they just have fun with each other.
reminds me of the good ol' days spent with friends and cousins. we used to make up all sorts of games, tell each other imaginary tales and visualize absurd things. As girls we used to play dress up with clothes..get together and talk our hearts and breath out, giggle incessantly and play board games like addicts.
when i did not have anybody I used to engross myself in the books and live with all the characters...going through the civil war with Scarlett and Rhett, living the Jewish struggle with Ari Ben cannan,riding thru the west with louis L'amour novels - something about horses,saddle and leather wearing gun-toting men...race thru continents and plots and live all the adventures with Ludlum and gloat with beaming hearts and smiles in the whimsical plots of Archer..the classics - living thru the vales and hills, the fog and mist and the legendary rain showers of the English countryside and the manors and distinguished balls of London in those wondrous classics....Ah..those days.Now I live in the Pallava century amidst the war between Mahendra Pallava nd Pulikesi ,mesmerized by the art granduer rendered thru sculptures and the dance of Sivakami........Oh the times...

I look at my daughters play and read and think happiness and joy are timeless ,they never die...just get refreshed...
