LIFE

When Gulli-Danda
& Kanche (marbles) were more popular than cricket.
When
we always had friends to play aais-paais (I Spy), chhepan-chhepai
& pitthoo
anytime ... When we desperately waited for 'Yeh Jo Hai Jindagi'
(Doordarshan serial)
When chitrahaar, vikram-baitaal, Dada
Daadi Ki Kahaniyaan were so fulfilling.
When
there was just one TV in every five houses and...
When
Bisleris were not sold in the trains and we were worrying if papas will get
back into the train in time or not when they were getting down at stations to
fill up the water bottle ...
When
we were going to bed by 9.00pm sharp except for the 'Yeh Jo Hai Jindagi'
day ...
When Holis & Diwalis
meant mostly hand-made pakwaans and sweets and moms seeking our help while
preparing them ...
When
Maths teachers were not worried of our Mummies and papas while slapping/beating
us ...
When
we were exchanging comics and stamps and Chacha-Chaudaris
& Billus were our heroes ...
When
we were in Nanihaals every summer and loved flying kites and
plucking and eating unripe mangoes and leechies ...
When
one movie every Sunday evening on television was more than asked for and 'ek
do teen chaar' and 'Rajani' inspired us ...
When
50 paisa meant at least 10 toffees ...
When
left over pages of the last years notebooks were used for rough work or even
fair work ...
When
'Chelpark' and 'Natraaj' were encouraged against 'Reynolds
&
family' ...
When
the first rain meant getting drenched and playing in water and mud and making
'kaagaj ki kishtis' ...
When
there were no phones to tell friends that we will be at their homes at six in
the evening ...
When
our parents always had 15 paise blue colored 'Antardesis' and 5 paise
machli wale stamps at home ...
When
we remembered tens of jokes and were not finding 'ice-cream & papa' type
jokes foolish enough to stop us from laughing ...
When
we were not seeing patakhes on Diwalis and gulaals
on
Holis as air and
noise polluting or allergic agents ...
The
list can be endless ...
On
the serious note I would like to summarize with ...
When
we were using our hearts more than our brains, even for scientifically brainy
activities like 'thinking' and 'deciding' ...
When
we were crying and laughing more often, more openly and more sincerely ...
When
we were enjoying our present more than worrying about our future ...
When
being emotional was not synonymous to being weak ...
When
sharing worries and happiness didn't mean getting vulnerable to the listener
...
When
blacks and whites were the favorite colors instead of greys ...
When
journeys also were important and not just the destinations ...
When
life was a passenger's sleeper giving enough time and opportunity to enjoy the
sceneries from its open and transparent glass windows instead of some
super
fast's second ac with its curtained, closed and dark windows ...
I really miss them(From the bottom of my heart) ..
don't u?
Untouchability is a sin. So stay in touch.
