When somebody asks me about what I want to become in life I say whatever is destined to be. However maximum people get me wrong it's just that I believe that one fine day you will be at your best place and simultaneously your efforts will land you there. Till then be open about every opportunity and make the most of it. Don't say this is not of my part or my interest. You will always learn something out of everything!

If your plan is for 1 year, plant rice. If your plan is for 10 years, plant trees. If your plan is for 100 years, educate children. Nivedita Prakhar - conducting Maths and Science Session at Trishul Learning Centre
Play is what children and young people do when they follow their own ideas and interests, in their own way and for their own reasons
play encompasses children's behaviour which is freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated. It is performed for no external goal or reward, and is a fundamental and integral part of healthy development - not only for individual children, but also for the society in which they live.
(Video spontaneous dance sessions in play time totally initiated and managed by children).
Freely chosen means that children themselves choose when, how and what to play. As such it is not part of a set programme and does not have any steps that need to be completed.
Personally directed means children themselves decide the rules and roles they take within their play.
Intrinsically motivated means that play is undertaken for its own sake, and not performed for any reward, certificate or status.
Why Promote Unstructured Play?
Children have to play
It’s a biological need…..like eating
Unstructured play allows children to do the things it’s body is telling it to do. Run, jump, climb, scream, swing, explore, enquire, be creative.
Without unstructured play, how can children learn to make decisions and take risks?
Benefits of Unstructured Play.
Helps children develop, socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and creatively.
Allows children to make independent decisions.
Children learn to manage risk.
Science has linked lack of play with behaviourial and emotional problems.
Play underpins learning.
It has been shown that children do better if they spend time in a natural environment
'The right to play is the child's first claim on the community. Play is nature's training for life. No community can infringe that right without doing enduring harm to the minds and bodies of its citizens.'
