"I believe that children nowadays are not children any more," Chowta said. "From the beginning parents want to make them super humans - they want them to come first in class, win prizes in sports, public-speaking, music, gymnastics, just about everything.

"So kids are no longer kids, their bodies might not change, but they mature super fast in their mind and suddenly you find them doing things that are far beyond their age. But that's natural - we don't allow them to be kids any more," said one of Hindi cinema's most talented music directors.

"I mean how many kids play hide and seek nowadays? It seems that their lives are so rigidly fixed, so forced into a routine that they have no time for anything else," said Chowta, who has just finished his first anti-drugs film Dead End.
