Want to go back to the days
when......
Want to go back to the days when summer holiday meant playing cards with cousins at 3 at night…watching Maine Pyaar Kiya the Nth time on video cd player…. Eating chivda and all other snacks at 12 in the night … booking of advanced tickets at Damodar/Vijay Mamta theatre was a crazy task always enjoyed by us (as we needed atlest 10-15 tickets for the gang to go ;) ) . Watching the actual movie with the gang in whole theatre row of just us family members.
The nights used to be so crazy ….doing summer saults on Gadis (beds) in the drawing room floor...doing cushion fights with all the bros and sis was so much fun…
Want to go back to those days when Ferrero rocher was a delicacy from the US of A, when pizzas/burgers was a treat after doing great in an exam….
Want to go back to those days when a glass of sugar cane juice was a treat for all of us …. Eating pani puri with all the cousins on Chaupati was like the best food ever… Going to Dadar at Aunt’s place was always so exciting… chatting with Kets n Appu while walking on shivaji park ground was just so energising…
Want to go back to those days when Sundays meant going to drawing class, watching cricket and going for a movie with Papa, Aai and Sushant, when Saturday night meant going for a long walk with Papa and chit chatting….
Birthday parties then were so simple but special, it meant booking of cake in advance, inviting all the cousins n neighbours for the party at home…celebrations then meant.. playing Sangit Khurchi (musical chairs), dumb charades at home. Aaukshan (a small pooja) by mom and all aunts was a tradition and then taking of blessings of the elders was a big enjoyable task starting from ground floor to 2nd floor.
Eating Dabeli was always an evening snack and playing cricket was a motivation to get up on a Sunday morn…Going to swimming with the gang was the best sport for us and then eating dosa or missal after that was so much filling…
Listening to the gossips of all elders was so exciting … having tea at 6 in morning after listening all this this gup chup and going back to sleep at 7 was like an adventure…
Reading Tin Tin, Thak thak and Chacha chaudhari turn by turn and fighting over who gets to read it first…
Diwali meant loads of crakers and celebrations with cousins…making odd shaped chaklis in order to help mom and drawing rangoli on the porch of the house… a big celebration in front of our shop and saw mill on the Laxmi Pujan night and mast bhai dhuj celebration with all the cousins…
Winters meant getting up in morning after endless efforts by Mom and Papa dropping me off to school and saying good day gal…
Winters were also the Sankrant days… kite flying on the terrace and cutting of fingers by the big boys… my job was always to hold the chakri right and shouting alound when we used to cut the neighours kite…
Sankranti was so special with so many aunts n neighbours coming home… giving them the flowers n til laddus and attar …
Also want to go back to the exam time when studying for exam and getting good marks was the only target in life….life was so much at peace when we had only 5-6 exams to give and the rest of the time it was just fun playing sports, tv, being with friends and cousins.
Life has changed so much now…. Then having a video game was a big thing… now even after having everything in the world we feel so incomplete… so I want to back to those days again when life was so much of fun…!
