There are some moments in life which are difficult to beat
& they just overpower us taking us back, down the memory lane
& leaving us reminiscent. How less do we get the time to cherish the priceless childhood memories? The treasured time which is now pass.
But whenever I think of it ….I feel a smile on my face & happiness in my heart. Remember those old gold days when…
We played in mud but didn’t catch any germs. “Ahh me & Reena used to prepare khana (food) with sand on our kitchen set”
Drank water from the garden tap & “safe drinking water” was a word unheard. “And in summers this water used to be so hot, yet it quenched our thirst”
The stolen guava from the neighbor’s house tasted the sweetest. “Aunty used to dread about we playing beside her house”
We had no play station & our kho kho team was left incomplete if any of the friends had a class test. “Yipee & our team mostly won”
Summer holidays meant whole day of play & we didn’t noticed our sun burns.
In school, the last period of the day felt like the longest. “We used to eagerly wait for bell to ring & run to the ice-cream vala outside”
It was a treat if someday mother gave a five rupee instead of lunch to have Bun-Tikki in the canteen. “We shared it & I used to get only a bite of it, but it was yummy”
We used to write in the best of our hand writing only to get a star in the class work copy. “And if Isha got 1 star more than me then…..ohh it didn’t make me cry but I did use to feel bad”
Mario was the only video game known. “I always lost to my brother”
It was a matter of pride to become the monitor of the class. “Oops I was made one….coz I was the talkative student around”
And remember how happy we used to be when teacher wrote those 4 words in our diary
Tomorrow is a holiday. “I tell you it was the best purpose for which a school diary was ever used”
Oh my memories are countless & I can keep on writing endlessly on this. Therefore I think I should end this spree herein.
But all you dear friends if you miss even an iota of those oldie Goldie days then don’t forget to say 3 CHEERS to it.

Of being only four years old.

ohh, really those were the days, i used to be nuts.
that was d cutest :)
Oh.....it was so sweet !!!!!! Thanx Aru to remind us that part of our lives..... :)
ur post took me on a journey to my childhood days. I too always lost to my brother in videogames.
which is ur favourite playstation game title.
These r the times I miss the most! I dun think we'll ever live them again. But the memories bring tears of joy to my eyes. U wrote this so beautifully Arunima I cried hehe...HUGS!
**It was a treat if someday mother gave a five rupee instead of lunch to have Bun-Tikki in the canteen
I so rem how much I treasured the occasional pocket money I got from mum. These days kids get money every single day and they hv become greedy for money even at a very young age. Sad as!
I love the true innocence that's shining thru this post.
Keshi.
Luvly post :)
koi lauta de vo..
just that,i was expecting more from ur side.ok np.so u never got hurt while playing in childhood,and after that insisting your mom/dad to have johnson bandage with only micky mouse/donald pics on it,and after that in school showing that bandage to ur frnds.:) :)
ahhh... I think about that return to innocence a lot too :)

bachpan chala gaya te jawani chali gayi,
Zindagi di kimti nishani chali gayi
This words in punjabi clearly depicts what you feel.The childhood days are treasures for everybody...the best part in them was innocence which really fades away with time.The small-small things which you gave example of are more precious than anything else in life.Reading your blog,I returned to my days of innocence,where the world seemed so nice,restricted yet vast,less but more,and definitely joyful.The bizzare world was away from us then,everyone seemed to be a camerederie of ours and the aplomb much higher with issues in our not-so-deadly restricted world of ours.I still remember the time---pura din bahar cricket with mummy running behind for lunch.....the tutions along with my sis,the diwali gathering of all my cousins,The Rangoli special with special Aloo ka paranthas by mom,the letter from home when I was in Hostel in Dehradun,that one room house where the life seemed so good though the house number was 302(just kidding),the story of apparition by ma,grandma seemed rather fascinating than untrue....I may keep on writing about those days till the time someone gets filled with ire for me(again kidding).
Great Arunima...you made me gather those olden days of mine.
