Reminiscing our past, what has
been the best moments of life's journey?
Sans money and with loads of
time, your true self was at its best. With no accountability and responsibility and no one to answer,
you were a true "The king of good times”. Those playful moments when you
used to spend majority of your time with childlike precedents and hitting your
nearby playground not to return for hours - enshrined in mud and with reprieve
of hunger and thirst, the day was spent with all its effervescence. The little
pocket money now looks better than our pay cheques and the way we used to
splurge on it, the way we want, the way we loved…
We had our key comrades with whom
we used to share our idiosyncratic ideas and plan our time for the next day. The
quirky fights on menial issues, the eclectic glance and peep through one’s
houses and a shout to call our gully friends to play were the norm of those
days.
School came to be a big detest,
getting up in the wee hours of day (specially in foggy winter mornings), it
became a humongous effort to leave the quilt (as it still is..). What let us
all get going was the wait of time when the final school bell rang, and we call
came to our naughtiest best – getting back in dirt of clothes and getting the
usual reprimand of our grandfathers / grandmothers!
Life as it slowly rolls its plans
changes true nature of our daily living, but what cannot change is the esoteric
childlike qualities that we still carry and would love to do -some do it as
bold initiatives in front of crowd and many in their hidden confines.
With many of us having kids in a
milieu , now we observe our true childish behavior – the vernacular talk we do
with our little ones, our playful gestures and drama on which our kids laugh
and make merry – It is you in the real sense that makes you live apart from the
mad rush of existence of today!
Thinking now of those golden
pedestals of time went past, we all wish if we can we all live in those moments
of history. With many of us loosing contacts with our best pals, we can only
remember and cherish those golden era.
Probably, with all of us, those moments must have put in an edible mark on our memories – never to be erased until we leave this planet, those memories will depart with us!
