Usually parents oppose kids seeing cartoons day and night. They prefer Nat Geo, Discovery etc to enhance knowledge. But cartoons enhance your life skills. Little did parents know that some cartoons have taught us some great life lessons that non-fiction channel could never have.

Mowgli used to be my fav cartoon ! I didn’t realise it then but my attachment to Mowgli was because of much deeper reasons that entertainment. The cartoon series taught me crucial lessons which I still remember and rather relate to, now better than earlier.

Mowgli and the amazing characters the series had always inspired me and taught many lessons that no TV series can ever teach ! Mowgli was a true inspiration. A small kid away from his parents, stuck among wild animals lived a life there, struggled the way out, made the animals his friends and saved the jungle and village from the cruel tiger, Sher Khan.

Mowgli, as a character teaches us lessons larger than life. Few are below –

Life Lesson 1: Be careful who you trust.

Remember that snake who used to hypnotise Mowgli? That means we should be careful around people like that before trusting them.

Life Lesson 2: Laughing is blessing

I remember how Mowgli used to laugh. Loudly! He used to shake completely. It changes your mood. Makes you believe that tomorrow will be better than today. So just laugh it out loud.

Life Lesson 3: What is right is not always easy

It is hard to face the truth and do what is right. You will always find yourself in a situation where you know what is right but it would come with a set of obstacles to test you. Remember, it may not be easy but do what is right always. Papa Bear had set a good example then

Life Lesson 4: Be fearless if you know you are right

Bageera was never afraid of anyone. He had taken an oath to protect the little human baby and he did what it took to do so.

Life Lesson 5: Dance like crazy

Really. That is one lesson I followed even when I was a kid. Papa Bear or Balloo and the Monkey used to be so happy dancing care freely. Put on some costume also if you want. Nothing like a crazy dance to cheer you up

Life Lesson 6: Always keep your chin up

Mowgli has had more disappointing days than anybody in the jungle. The very fact that he didn’t actually belong there was a reason why he was on constant conquest. But he always had his friends around. Hence, he used to never be sad for too long. He always started afresh.

Life Lesson 7: Count on your friends

Friends play a very important part in our lives. What we do not share with our parents, children and spouse we share with them. And they only come to our rescue and never judge us. We can be rest assured that no matter what happens our friends will always be there.

Life Lesson 8: Never break a coconut with your head

It taught us that we can’t break or fight a hard thing with something softer. You need to be rough and tough sometimes to solve hard situations. If not you will only end up getting hurt.

Such amazing lessons make such cartoons indeed a boon. And now disney bringing back the legend into the big screen is a reason to rejoice ! Yeah, our favorite character is back, and how ! Its time to sing back the jungle jungle jingle, put on you wild shoes, and make way to the theaters getting all nostalgic and pumped up. Mowgli is back !
