'CHILDHOOD' or a lovely/inspiring paradise of your life.

It was a lovely evening. I just came from the office and again the same thing, that i generally used to do. make a cup of tea and open the laptop for checking the mails. I was doing this pattern from past couple of years.


I am not the only one in this IT crowd. There are millions of people who follow the same pattern of life. We have seriously forgotten the sense of real and wonderful life which we have lived in past.

Our busy life has altered lot of things that we used to do in couple of years back. What was your life at that period of time? That was good or this one is good? What you used to do during those days which you can't attempt now a days? There are certainly a lot of questions and we really have answers for all of them.


Let me take you to a tour of my childhood.

I remember the time when i was 7 or 8 year old kid. The day used to start from the time when first ray of sun light touches the head of the earth and it never used to end until of unless my body didn't allow me to stand.

During those days you couldn't survive without your friends. There were not computers, no internet, not so many channels on T.V, no mobile, no SMSs. The only thing was you, your friends and some of your's cool stuffs (Kites, Manga, Kanche, Cricket bat etc).

My memory is very week now a days but i can't forget the paradise of my life (my childhood) even my mind stops working.

I clearly remember the time when i used to come from the school. I never used to care about where to keep the bag, where to keep the shoes and where to keep the school dress.

This time, only one thing used to run in my mind how fast i can go to my secret place and get all my assets. Every kid has certain locations in home where they generally keep their assets. In my home we have so many loft in every room.I made one of the loft as my secret place as i knew that no one would come and touch this loft.

In my assets i used to have one whistle, 4-5 kinds of mangaa (thread for flying the kites), lots of kites. Various verity of kancha. One plastic ball. That moment was the adorable moment for me.

Till the evening i generally play with my assets. I never liked the time when mummy used to call me for finishing the homework during 4 to 5 in the evening and that moment is a painful moment for all the kids.This time every kids mostly think when will they grow up, when would they become a big man/women like uncle and aunt.


I always used to gaze at the wall clock. As soon as it says now it is 5. I used to break away from that place like anything. In my area there was the power cut time and it used to happen from 5 to 8 pm.

Everybody used to abuse the government for this cut. I always used to think who is this government if this guy would come any chance in my area people would kill this guy. I used to think that there might be a person called government who cut the light in our area.

But i was the only one who always praised this government for this power cut. We didn't have any power back up plan at our home. And power cut was the only excuse for not to do homework further. I always used to wait for this guy (government) for cutting the power.
And this time was the time for our gang. All my friends used to come out from their houses. Entire area was like our empire, every houses in the area was like our district in the empire and streets were like our racecourse where we used to run like we are flying in the sky. We had permission to enter in any of the house for playing hide and seek, jump from one roof to another roof for catching the kites.

My father always used to say to me. Don't make a noise i am having a headache, sometime he used to say he is having a back pain. I always ideate the image of that pain in my mind. During those days I never had any pain neither in back or head. 





Doordarshan was the only channel which everybody used to watch. I can engrave the entire picture of that time. As a kid i also loved to watch the T.V. On Saturdays evening 4 o'clock was the time for the movie. All family used to wait for that moment. I hated the 15 mins break which occurred in middle for the news. I still remember the lady who used to read the news. My father liked to watch the news. I used to think why is that unnecessary 15 mins break.

Like other kids I loved to see the cartoons, i still remember one of them which used to come almost every 1 hour on the Doorshan. If am not wrong that was the "Ek Titlee anek titalliyan". Those days was the awesome days of my life.

I can easily recall the time during my summer vacations, our whole gang used to wake up early in the morning and used to go for playing cricket. One guy had the responsibility to collect all the others people in gang.

We used to sleep in our open area of the house. There is a street next to that area. One of my friend used to call me morning at 5 o'clock. I had never experienced any difficulty in breaking my sleep.I don't know how the energy used to come inside my body which allowed me to go for playing cricket not only single day but for the entire summer month.

We used to play till afternoon. After that i used to spend time in reading comic. My favorite stars were Nagraaj, Super commando Dhruv, off course Chacha Choudhary and his big giant Saabu.In evenings again used to collect my stuffs and went up for flying kites. I don't know the power but i used to jump from 7 to 8 meters hight just for catching the kites. I never thought that just because of 1 or 2 rupees kite am taking this much or risk. I could have bought the kite very easily but fun was not in buying the kite, fun was in catching it with passion.


Sometime now i realized, Can i do the same-thing now? and the answer is big "NO", why the answer is big NO, because our childhood has gone. Everybody will think like that. but if we try to feel our inner soul, somewhere still we have that childhood internally. As we mature we don't express that childhood because we care about others. Why should be care about others? Had we cared about people during our real childhood? No then why should be bother about them now.





My aim for writing this article is just to make sure that you should neither forget your childhood nor trying to kill the feeling that, you don't have childhood in your inner soul.

If you have a feelings that somewhere you childhood is still alive in your soul, you will always be happy. Whatever you do, you will do it with full passion and proud. You will never bother about anybody. You will be always ready to take any kind of risk.

If you face any difficulties, if you have to take decision, if somebody has broken your heart and you don't know what to do, if you are not happy with your job. If others bother you. If you have not yet succeed in any thing.



Forget everything just play the picture of you childhood and try to acquire that you were very brave, you always used to listen your heart, you had emotions but you knew how to cope up with those. You could take up any challenges and risk.

Once you start doing that you can achieve whatever you want.

Now tell me it was just a 'CHILDHOOD' or a lovely/inspiring paradise of your life.
