About this issue
folklore (the Celts were Iron Age tribes who lived in what is now Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and other parts of Europe) and is celebrated on 31 October every year. Halloween tradition for hundreds of years has included wearing costumes and pranking people. To this day, people of all ages, especially children, celebrate Halloween by wearing costumes and taking on roles, and going from house to house ‘trick or treating’. But taking on roles is not reserved for Halloween, fancy dress competitions and costume parties alone. Every morning when we wake up, we take on many roles—the role of a student, of a daughter or son, of a football player, of a kathak dancer, a friend, a brother or sister and many others. Each role comes with its own expectations and decisions. Will you be a hard working or a smart working student? Will you make a mess of your room or will you help mom keep it neat? Will you be a sister who shares or will you be stingy? Most of us usually make the right decision and try to play every role to the best of our ability. But sometimes, despite our best efforts, we fall short. At such times, my friends, it is important that you CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK! Give yourself a break, instead of beating yourself up. Success in every role is not guaranteed (although others may expect it of us), but the important thing is that you try. And that is what really counts.
