We all know how the social media is influencing us these days . But in our childhood it was the TV which had a huge influence on us. This is a small incident which I experienced in my life and which I can never forget.
It was in the summer holidays when my relatives were in the house. I was probably in 1st standard and my cousin in 3rd standard. All of us were playing badminton in different courts while my brother was sitting on a ramp at my house. All of us were so much involved in the game and didn’t pay so much attention to him. My cousin carefully climbed a wall near that ramp and slowly climbed a tree beside the wall . Alas! My aunt shouted and all of us were shocked for a moment. All we could see was our little brother sliding down from the branch of the tree to the ground. Uff…. that was the most tensed moment in our lives. But believe me, he came down as if he came on an escalator, so calm, so happy and his expression was as if he had done something really great and is worthy of praise. By God’s grace he landed safely on the ground and he was not at all hurt!!! The first thing he said after coming down was, ” How was the jump? Did I look like spiderman?” .
That was the first time I experienced people being influenced by electronics and media. Then I came to know that anything to extremes can be dangerous. He started watching spiderman as an entertainment program and ended up putting his life in danger. Now although he stopped watching them, I think sometimes this craziness comes out involuntarily.
This will always be the scariest, funniest and adventurous memories that I’ve ever experienced.
