Children Are Roses !!!
Chacha Nehru as the children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children & roses. In fact he often compared the two, saying that
children were like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully & lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the nation and the
citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the real strength of a country & the very
foundation of society. He was the ‘beloved’ of all the children who gave him the
endearing name of ‘Chacha Nehru’.
