Back in Time....When I was a kid


Last eve, when I was coming back from work..I saw lot many kids in my building playing..exams over..tension free...enjoying vacations..just then I realized..these kids hardly play all the fun games that we used to play in our school time ("our school time" sounds like I'm from some dinosaur age)..but that is that..(I'm old enough to not have school vacations anymore)

We had such beautiful childhood, now even getting up at 10 am on a holiday seems like "too early"... back then...we friends used to get up at 6 am during the holidays...take our bi-cycles to the hill...run to the top to the temple and come back...
Have our breakfasts and run back to play...come back for lunch n play at home..around 5 pm something back to play down..till dinner...then eat our dinners as fast as possible and lastly come down back to play badminton..

I remember the Re.1 pepsi-colas..n watermelons every afternoon...

We had so so so many games then..Aatli baatli Futli, Chupa-Chupi, Pakda-Pakdi, Building pakda-Pakdi, sakli, Lagori, Cutting the Cake, Chippy, Bombay Statue, Dabba Spies, Relay, Land or water, Color-color, fire in the mountain,Langdi, Kho-kho, Dodge-ball, Abadubi...Gawdd..I wanna relive my kiddie dayyzzz..



In the noons at home, it was ghar-ghar, scrabble, ludo, snake n ladders,business,name place animal thing,ex-zero,T game,..

Kids these days...stick to computers..facebook..n stuff like that..all the fun is gone....How bad is that??? they are missing all the fun

I want my kiddy days back....

My True Love Story

THE INCIDENT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY ANY RESEMBLENCE TO THE SAME IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL...


It was then and it is now..Its been so long..I had totally forgotten about him..But, the moment my eyes fell on him after all these years I know he was meant to be with me..now and forever...

Going back in time, there was never a moment when we were not together..holding hands..walking in the parks..cuddling on the sofa at home..
His soft hands always hugged me every night..comforted me through all my pains..wiped my tears..made me smile always..
His deep brown eyes always searching for me...He was beaten..pulled.kicked..bruised..still he didn't leave my side then...
I was in love with him..even in his most horrible state I loved him with all my heart..

Time went by...circumstances changed..and he vanished in deep darkness..until that eve..

I was walking by..least expecting to find him there after all these years..Amidst the thick smoke of dust..he was there...I laid my hands on him and still could feel the softness..his eyes still had the same depth..just a little old now..

After all these years..I found him back..my love...my sweet...my little black teddy...
