THE CHILDREN'S PARK

 

At the children’s park There is a toy train ride. Its name is the “Putani Express”. This express is mainly for children (adults are free to accompany) & they are taken for a wonderful ride around the park on a cute track. On the ride I observed sights of small ponds with some man- made islands in the middle, small sheds where people would rest after a tiring jog, a mini kids amusement park which had an eye catching giant “dragon swing” and then in about 15 minutes the train arrives back             at the station. 

This ride on a whole was a cheerful reminder of the innocence of childhood and how little things like this would light up the day of a child. To my observation, on weekends, I could sight a lot more people on board on the train. The reason for this could be that adults and children are often free from the routines of day to day life on weekends and hanging out at the park is a good way to relax. In terms of sound, I recognised that on weekdays at this junction there are a lot of people hence the sound of their “chitter-chatter” overpowers all other sounds. Whereas, on weekdays the sounds of nature overpowers the voices of people since there are fewer people. I observed that the kids park was a lot dirtier on weekends than weekdays as on weekdays there are not many there to litter. This was a very unfortunate observation. It shows the irresponsibility of people towards the public assets of a city. 

In turns of smell, I observed that there was a strong smell of various snacks and chai prevalent at the mini train station ( called Jawahar Bal Bhawan ) mainly on the weekends this is because a lot more food vendors  are available on weekends than on weekdays as they would get better business with more customers. On weekdays there is a wonderful overpowering smell of fresh leaves, mud  & the smell ponds while we were riding the lovely Putani express.

In terms of Touch, I noticed many people enjoying the touch of the trees and flowers while they were  rushing around the park on the tracks of the little express.
