Once I was convinced this wasn’t a spam post (given your recent signup date), I read your text and found it very interesting and informative.
In the popular American comic strip “Peanuts”, Linus asks his grandmother why “there’s a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day but not a Children’s Day?”. His grandmother replies that “Every day is children’s day.” He finds the answer unsatisfying. Now I know that there is a children’s day, in India.
Dear Dr. Sivana,
Apologies that might my first post looked like spam. And thank you for finding it interesting and informative.
Peanuts’ grandmother was wise; I agree with her. But if I was Peanuts, I would be unsatisfied too!
Peanuts creator Schulz, having skipped couple of grades, was the youngest child amongst peers while at school. One can understand why Linus asked for a Children’s Day.
By the time India started celebrating Children’s Day, Linus’ grandmother must be in the seventies. So perhaps she was not aware of this!
Best regards.
