On my way to the office...
Today I was coming to the office and saw a kid (must be about 5-6 yrs) sitting on a bike that was parked... probably his father (or whoever have come with him) went to a store to buy something..it was about 12:15 in the afternoon..he was well groomed..had a nice hair cut recently...he was yawning (probably he just woke up or got tired of playing on a sunday morning with his friends).. The incident (the kid sitting on the bike and yawning) was so lovely that all my childhood memories rushed back with lightening speed...the days when I wanted to get out of school from the moment I went in, to the time when I always wanted to be in school rather than sit at home. The days when I joined a hostel in chennai for my schooling from 4th to 8th class..the days when I joined Bhavan's for my 9th and 10th class...after that it was end of childhood I guess...responsibilities slowly started creeping into my life..
When I was a child I always used to wonder about when i would grow up so that i would not get any more scoldings and bashings from my parents , teachers and relatives..I would not have to go out of home whenever somebody who came to my home felt like having something bought from a shop, or call a rickshaw (or auto).. I always had to pester my parents for something or the other....I would keep waiting for some things for so much time that when my parents finally bought them, I would have lost interest in them...
When I had to fight with my sister for all the silly reasons (they did not seem to be silly then)...I wish I had not fighted so much with her. I sometimes used to hurt her feelings knowingly..There were days when I felt shy to attend a marriage(or any function for that matter)..however now I enjoy attending marriages for the good time that I will have with my cousins and gape at beautiful girls.
There were days when I had to wait for somebody to come with me for a movie...now I go to a movie as and when I feel .... There were days when I did not have to worry about anybody...now before I do anything i will have to think about what would that action lead to...it would be so much nice if this world was free of egos...now everybody is a king in his own world...
Now after I have spent about 1/4th of a century of my life I would like to go back to days when I was between 11-15...maybe even younger than that....I guess there is nothing much that we can do about growing up...sick ain't it?

I feel exxxaccctly like u do. I just didnt want to grow up., which obviously happened anyways., n now i wanna go back in time., which will never happen.
Memories are wat will keep me happy. Never let go of them., good or bad., they help u remember wat u hav been and how u lived ur life.
