Sweet memories

It was only in the last week that i was reminded of our childhood times.. akka, chandu, chunki, deepa, praveen, pratibha, jyotsna akka. it was a small world full of joy and happiness. All the games we used to play, land and water, crocodile crocodile which color do you want, kith kith, memory game, carrom, shuttle, hide and seek. Uff.. did we ever feel tired?
There was competition between us.. who would go to school first, whose dad came home from office first, whose dress was the best on the festival day, whose mom cooked what on each day, exams, marks, who collected more flowers while coming back from school.. aah how much i miss those days! Diwali was perfect, the whole week was full of excitement. If someone bought crackers for bigger amount, thats it, there would be mahabharat at home that day.. beg borrow or steal, we had to have maximum crackers. same with holi! totally colourful.. who bought which color and who had the unique pichkaari! and who started off on streets first!!!
Now when I look back, i really want all those days back.. its so boring to be grown ups!
I spoke to Deepa yesterday, she has a baby girl. Chunki also had a baby girl last week. Akka is carrying now. Prati has a baby boy,jyotsna akka has a boy and twin baby girls!
all of us going thru the same phases of life.. looks like the competition is still thr.. whose growing up faster :)
