Childhood is the best part of our life. The child is away
from worries and lives in a world of dreams. In small gestures of life, a child
finds happiness & joy. A story told by grandmother gives wings to his dream
and a sweet lullaby is enough to put him to sleep. The priceless things are the
precious moments of one’s life.
era where world of television and internet was not even heard of. We grew in
the lap of nature relishing the delicacies of nature in abundance.

sun without fear of getting tanned, flying colourful kites in the open sky and
a dream raced my heart to touch the sun or the evening bright star, making paper
boats out of newspapers and watching them float in the rain waters. Making paper
planes and flying high in the sky and nurtured a wish that my father would fly
back from his tour on my paper plane…just can’t believe that so innocent I was,
which will be coined as “Buddhu” in today’s smart world…Aww.
In those days, a kid was truly a kid, full of innocence and their minds navigated in the world of fantasy.

While flying a kite in open bright sky of winters, a secret wish
lurked deep inside to touch the sky and I used put in my best to reach near my
dreams. Nowadays kids do indulge in flying kites but the innocent dream of
touching the sky is missing from their minds, the reason they are very smart
and they are well aware of the fact. But in our days, we were ignorant and
innocent and our early days of peppy
childhood navigated in the world of
dreams.
our imaginations high to great heights and our mind sought to achieve and the
tiny flakes of achievement generated loads of happiness which is missing from
today’s kid’s mind.
child banked on the belief that someday my kite would reach the sky and as colourful
kites soared high in the sky, dreams multiplied and I jumped in joy and the joy
derived knew no bounds.
painted its colours on it and the life was joyous.
fairies and angels, dragons & devils, owls and bats and eagerly waited for
the arrival of fairies & angels to fulfil our dreams and were afraid of
dragons & devils and we tried to evade from indulging in something wrong
for the fear of their arrival. The
impact of story characters were great on our minds.
fantasy, they are aware of the facts, the impact
of tech world.
they would laugh out loud making fun of us because they are living in the world of
facts and we lived in a world of fantasy.
the flavour of all. The games that we indulged in too did not cost a penny,
except for few pence sometime for buying kites or rubber balls to play.
make houses were in abundance and we enjoyed playing with nature.
I navigate down the memory lanes, a
beautiful smile purses on my lips and I feel, I am going crazy of now.
above and experience the bliss of innocence and fantasy that were in bulk in our
childhood days.
