These days lots of reality shows come on television on music.... there are singing shows dancing shows and what not on all family channels.... some even are for small children... and gosh... how beautiful these small kids dance or sing... looking at them i silently wish even my children could go there... dance.. sing... and make us proud... if theres one thing that i regret in life is that i cant sing or dance or play a musical instrument... 
mom realised dancing and singing wasn’t for me so she put me in a class to learn harmonium... that time and even now i always wanted to learn to play guitar... i had told mom about it but she wanted to me learn either harmonium or table, both of which i hated... i made so many excuses and refrained from learning either of them.... and later on even mom had to resign from making me learn one of them...
i always try to encourage my children to learn something... something of their choice... i now strongly believe to let children learn what they want to and not what we want them to learn... Ria first went to singing, then bharatnatyam, then kathak... she didn’t like either of them... finally she has now settled in what u can say.... ‘Bollywood dancing’... she likes it and goes to learn it with much enthusiasm...
so piece of advice.... allow ur child to learn what they are interested in and not what u are interested in.... don’t make them have the feeling of regret like i do now have....
still its never too late to learn... planning to learn playing guitar... hopefully i do learn what i always wanted too....
