Not a child’s play dude..

Writing a bestseller children’s novel is no child’s play.

Improving your spoken English may or may not be a child’s play. If you get the right guidance and support, it is easy and fun. If you don’t, the path becomes that much more difficult but it is still possible. Both ways, it is important that you take small, daily steps and get better and better at spoken English day by day.

Whoa! Now, what could a child’s play mean?

Well, a child’s play is something which even a child can do. So, what should be the defining characteristic of a child’s play – that it should be very easy.

Thus, anything that is extremely simple and easy to do, it can be described as a child’s play.

Let’s take a few examples:

1. Governing a country as big and complex as India is not a child’s play. You need to have more skills than just being a son of a former politician.
2. It is not child’s play to keep playing international cricket at the highest level. Add to it the competitive pressures and the glamour and spotlight attached with it and the task becomes hundred times more complex.
3. The new MD of the company is a magician. Solving complex business problems is a child’s play for him. All through his career he has taken charge of failing companies and turned them around and made them profitable.
4. Indian spin bowlers destroyed the famed England batting line up and made it look like a child’s play. It was anything but. The long practice sessions under the new coach have really had an impact.
5. Price rise is a complex problem. No political party wants to be the one to raise prices but balancing so many economic factors and forces is no child’s play.
6. Sachin scored so many centuries and made them look like child’s play. In reality, his outstanding talent and hard work made it possible to achieve those heights.
