Bachpan, is the most amazing time of lives! When we are in it, we are in a hurry to grow up; and once that’s done, we yearn for small things that remind me of our childhood. And in those small things we find a speck of our lost childhood again.
Here’s a treat for all of you who has a middle class Indian Bachpan:
1. The games we played and the thrill we felt is incomparable to any set of PS2s or video games!
2. Slam Books were our Facebook Walls! Only that they stayed with us forever…..{and also fired many crushes to relationships}
3. Popeye and Cartoon Network were are lunch mates after school. [This also proved to be a Mom hack to get that spinach through us!]
4. Yeah! We loved to have a puff ! 😀 Minty Cigarettes were our partner when acting out a movie villain.
5. A must have for all of us! And then the childhood flew away and these became dinosaurs for us..
6. That’s how we decided whether someone deserved our friendship, love, affection, marriage, enmity, or sisterhood.
7. Drinks??? Why Not! Here’s what we used to have unlike these-days!
8. Unashamed of reading Hindi; we actually waited for these every month!
9. That was the first 3D movie we saw, and we were spellbound!
10. Our richness was not based on our Wadrobe but our Cassette Colletion…
11. Sports Days meant white uniform and these Canvas white shoes. And every Saturday was a venture for polishing these shoes and then letting them dry…….
12. Birthdays were new dress and a box of toffees for all! And best friends got extra ones…..
13. Shows that kept our nights glues to the TV with our family…… Bet you still remember the characters and famous dialogues!
Hum Panch…
