Blissfully ignorant period when we found immense joys in petty things! Recalling a few..
- Finish off the homework before 6 pm, only to play the OUTDOOR games with friends
- Every Saturday was so special, as it was the only non-school uniform day and the students were at their civilian best
- We waited long to wear that new dress on the religious festivals
- All the national festivals were celebrated in their true letter and spirit
- Heavy power-cuts never really mattered as we were totally occupied with innumerable board and oral games
- The regional movie telecasted on Sunday evenings was something I never wanted to miss
- Recalling TV shows like Surabhi, Jungle-book, Bharat ek khoj, Chitrahaar, Rangoli, Fauji, Dekh bhai Dekh, Malgudi Days generates fresh positive vibes till date
- Reader’s Digest and Youngworld were must-reads
- Religious festivals had sweetness in the air and the day was meant for meeting elders to seek their blessings
- The 10rupee notes that were given by the guests as a token of affection
- The Earthen Piggy banks used to store coins is of special mention
- The pride in our eyes when we stood first in school
Feel free to add to the list..
