Recently, I heard a story in the midst of the unseasonal snowstorm that took place in the North - Eastern part of USA. During the black outs that had taken place in so many counties in the area, everyone was tired of having to live in the dark. It was cold and it was dark, one of the gloomiest combinations that Mother Nature could provide. But, what stood out from this news piece was the " interview " of two kids of a family facing such problems.
While their parents looked dishevelled in front of the camera, they seemed to actually be enjoying themselves. The brothers, of around 5 years of age, had apparently begun their own adventure once the lights had gone out and were quite content in pursuin that; their imagination banished any gloom lurking in the darkness. Those two boys could probably be happy in the most morose of situations, at least till they grew up to become like all of us. Their inner Indiana Jones or James Bond helped them find the lemonade out of the lemons served to them. If only we could be more like that .......
