I love classics!! Why?? Because I love the old world charm of grace, manners and appropriateness (these days the same are coined as "Melodrama" by sceptics!). I recently happened to read the book "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The book is about a little girl Sara who has the brightness and imagination of a grownup. After devouring the book, I realised how much I am like this little girl. Oh well! It's a different thing that I am the grownup with the brightness and imagination of a little girl! (that technically makes me a retard:P but heh! who cares?!)
Imagination is a wonderful thing. When we were kids we could build a whole world around us with just our imagination and we were blissfully happy with the imaginary world around us. A card box was our house! Underneath the table was our kingdom! We had the superpowers of superheros! As we grow up, we start becoming more realistic in life. Wouldn't it be wonderful, if for once adults STOPPED being so realistic and used their imagination to live their lives on their terms?
Sara, who imagines herself to be a princess to remove herself from the ugly and discordant surroundings finds solace and peace in her life. If we could use the very same imagination to live the life we always wanted to and play it up a tad little bit, wouldn't that make this world a more beautiful place to live? Quoting Aqua, Imagination! Life is a creation!
With that,
Princess Sundari
