childhood

childhood a fairytale kind of life for some of us and rags,blanket of night sky for some!!
chubby cheeks saw the twinkling of stars when humpty dumpty were sitting on the wall and jack jill went to fetch water,all the 2 n 3 candles blowing party got over and dats our childhood,our childhood!!
for my parents r for many of our parents subhadra kumari chauhans 'mere bachpan' or bannada tagadina tutturi brings dem d lively days of mara koti aata,aluguli mane,their first stint with colour photo,the excitement of jaatre,tent cinema and the long struggle of stealing of naalku aane from appajis jubba..moole angadi peppermint and the royal treatment of maylaari masala dosa..utter dissapoinment when rains washed their dream castles and forgetting them in a minute or two and making paper boats and seeing their vessel sailing in the small streams and their jubiliant faces..alas!all memories,sweet remembrances..
the site of thorana and smell of obbattu and the very positive energy around with new clothes and lakshmi pataki and bhoo chakra and the grandest of all festivals,deepawali was a cynosure for those li'l eyes.visiting everyhouse in d colony including murthy mama,shantakka,kamala chikkamma for the sake of kadubu during ganesha chaturthi and those li'l devilish acts were where life used to live for a while before fading away gradually..
the fondest of all memories is d 'raja maja' with ajja,ajji with a icing on the cake as ajja announces the grand arrival of the king of all fruits 'maavu' for dinner..
the gud old days,everyone say dat!
i dont think so dat any1 of us had a chance of dating any of dose grannys bed timefairies and queens..the nuclear family and the blame game starts!!if at all wehad gone for a date would'nt minnie and daisy feel bad..
zindagi main thodi life dats what childhood d pyaara bachpan and sundara baalya means!!
