Childhood is just not what it used to be (and this is what every generation says)..but i also think that tv, xbox and computers are a city phenomenon and not a country-wide phenomenon as of now. Children in villages and towns are still in the company of nature. However, as you have rightly pointed out, with parents getting competitive day-by-day, kids are so exhausted attending tuition classes, dancing classes, hobby classes, brain tutorials and the like that there is no time left to be a child. p.s-I think harry potter and malgudi days will co-exist I agree with you.
