I just started writing this blog, and i am already pondering on how simple things were, when we were small (if you are reading this blog, well..you also might be! )
Times when I dint have to worry about paying my electricity and water bills on time, worrying about what I am going to do when I become as big as my dad. I need not make sure that I call up relatives on necessary dates , or do “pair-lagu” whenever I meet.
The days when i read tinkle and blindly believed that “bumblebeta chocolates” existed..yeah ramu and shamu used to love them..remember. I cried for like a day to get them. my poor mom had a tough time explaining to me that they are not real.
you guys know how earth quakes occur? well, dont start off with earth’s crust and mantle and seismic waves. As a kid, I believed that someone was holding the earth with their right hand, and when hand pains, that “someone” would shift the earth to left, and because of the movement, there is earthquake. OK, thats stupidity, but what big deal did I learn knowing the actual reason? except that it fetched me good grades!
I used to play cricket with my apartment boys, and now no one lets me play cricket. Max, they make me the joker who plays in both the teams (equally bad).
I sit in a swing in a park next to my house, and a kiddo with a puppy face comes and looks at me and I am forced to get up. WhY!! not that the swing is gonna break, for sure!
Birthday parties where, when I took a 2nd serving of cake, people called me “cute”, and now if I do, the look.
To add to all this, places like KFC, give balloons to kids. I ask, and the reply comes, its only for kids madam. So if u become big, u cannot play with a balloon.! unfair.
I have anyways made up my mind. yes, i will give a competition to my kids, in all that. they get an icecream, so do i. they get balloons, and me too!! 🙂
Well. guess u cant stop turning old. you can always be young at heart. Pay all the bills, and still be young at heart! thats what its gonna be.
World..through my eyes!
