Some random instances in life which meant heaven back then….
The view of rainbow… I used to rush out of home just to get the view of it….and land up confirming if there are 7 colors in it…… I always missed to recognize indigo….so was landing up with 6 colors!(Surprised was i)
The sound of the aero plane… In Goa, there weren’t so many flights as many as in Bangalore… So it was a joy to watch the aero plane…. We used to wave our hands assuming someone might respond… and scream ta-ta bye-bye assuming someone might open their window and wave back… (Innocent was i)
The new hero pen…. I carried a ink pen just for fun… I liked to spill the ink on the plastic coated book bind and then hold the nib in an angle that it sucks all the ink back… I even enjoyed spilling or rather waste the ink by pouring it into a glass of water just to see how well it spreads and finally dissolve…(Naughty was i)
The new tiffin box……. I used to finish the lunch packed in a fancy tiffin box with the holder for the spoon….and the stickers of our favorite cartoon… As the cartoon stickers faded, the meager was my appetite… And my appetite used to be decrease if the fancy tiffin box was replaced with a plain steel box! (Stubborn was i) … The flair for fancy box ended when once the science teacher mentioned that the food in plastic box is unhealthy :) (Obedient I became)
The new compass box… More than anything in my school bag, I safeguarded my pencil box… whether I used so many pens, pencils, sharpeners & erasers, but I carried a lot with me… The collection of scent rubber was a craze… so was an equal craze to collect the pictures of our favorite cartoon and decorate the pencil box…(Creative I became…)
The new clipboard….. I still remember I had insisted to buy a pink clipboard even when I hardly knew that I would land up using the same board till I completed my Masters degree!! I had stuck Lord Ganesha’s sticker on top of it when I moved to Bangalore coz it was pasted in most of my friends clipboards(assuming that God would show some mercy and help me retain my rank) (Religious was i…)
The new color box…. Out of all the exams held in the school, Drawing exam was my favorite…. From crayons to color pencils to sketch pens to water colors to acrylic paints….I still have a collection of them… Eagerness to use almost all colors forced me to draw a house surrounded by garden full of flowers…(Fascinated was i….)
The diary milk chocolate….. More than the chocolate, I was more interested to get the golden wrapper which covered the chocolate… while most of my friends preserved the wrapper in the middle of their books, I used to cut them into small pieces and fill inside the balloon…. (back then I wasn’t aware we get glitters).. The only time I blasted the balloon was on the birthdays and was happy to watch the golden wrapper pieces scatter…(Celebration mood I got….)
The dry leaves….The flowers…the feathers…… all preserved in the books coz someone said us that they multiply!!! (Full of hopes…..)
Certain things which we did in our childhood can never be forgotten…..and now I feel funny abt those incidents, but still I miss all that….. I am sure most of you would have indulged in atleast one of these activities…. Just thought of recollecting and cherishing those moments… All I learn from those thoughts is life is never complex….unless we make it…..
Love and live life however it is :) Create a lively lovely environment around and enjoy every bit of it.... :)
