Chota Bachpan...Pyaara Bachpan!

Clearly... this is me in one of those moods where you get nostalgic about your childhood.. go through your baby pics.. try and remember the stories you mum told u about you cute little antics.. awwwwww...all of us at some point wish we'd go back in time ... Life just was a totally different ballgame altogether... No Deadlines.. No EMI's... No PPT's and No TRAFFIC JAMS!!!

NOW when you have to face a cranky boss every morning... THEN you would wake upto a sweet smile from your mother...

NOW where you have to look forward to your salary day every month to feel happy..THEN, just playing with your tattered worn-out toy was enough for you to beam...

NOW, where our wishlist has no end.. THEN,just a 5 rupee note from dad would make us feel like we were freaking kings of the world...

NOW, we have Iphones and Blackberrys of the world but no time or patience to talk to anyone for more than 2 minutes.. THEN you would come back home and narrate each and every thing that happened to you in school including what was the colour of your Teacher's sari..(Yes, I used to diligently do it every day according to my mum)

NOW, we need more and more space to Live, always aiming for a bigger house..bigger car..bigger cabin...THEN, we would want nothing more than to just sleep off in our mother's lap....actually it was a prime property to acquire... for which we fought with our sister/brother

NOW, we have all the coolest Brands in our wardrobe and a tiny spot here and there and you wouldnt even look at it again..THEN we would wear the same old Pair of shoes.. or the ever favourite dress.. no matter how many times you've spilled food on it.. tore it.. fell into a mucky pile.. no matter what kind of torture we put it through..never changed the loyalty

NOW when we have an excellent collection of tonnes of DVD's but no time to tear open their plastic cover..but still keep on piling up the stack in the name of "COLLECTION" and "OH ITS A KICKASS MOVIE..I MUST BUY IT (so that it lies in my cupboard for years and lays eggs) ".. THEN the whole week of wait for Sunday to arrive... and it was time for DUCK TALES...Oooh..oooh.. or Chitrahaar... and we were just set...Entertainment quota for the whole week!!!

Anyways...C'est la Vie... since there's still time for that Time-machine to come along.. I thought I'd dig up a few things that I miss the most about my childhood and post them here LEST I'm too busy to even HAVE any childhood memories at all...

AND THE THING I MISS THE MOST ABOUT MY BACHPAN...IS TO SING ALONG TO THIS OLG GEM OF A SONG ON DOORDARSHAN... Aaaaahhhhh....

ENJOY



Peace to All and Love to you:))
