Things I Want Again In My Life...

I so wish for the following things again in my life (not necessarily in the same order)

# Going to the school on cycles. 

# Sleeping on the roof in summers under moon light.

# Feeling excited on the birthdays. (no matter whose - friends, family or mine).

# Watching the evening movie on Sundays on the national network with the rest of the country.

# Days without cell phones, social networking sites or emails.

# Going to the video games parlor with a 2/- coin in the pocket and playing Super Mario for 2 hours with those 2/-

# Running after the old ‘kulfi wala’ who used to visit the street every afternoon and asking for more ‘cherries’ on the ‘softy’.

# Writing the first love letter a dozen times and finally dropping the idea altogether.

# Being smitten by a girl in the class and plotting with friends on how to seek her attention.

# The passion to enter into street fights for the girl who kept snubbing me day in and out.

# Giving lessons to friends on how to write love letters or make acquaintance with that new girl.

# Winning those fake silver medals in school competitions.

# Playing drums in the school assembly.

# Borrowing bikes and scooters from friends and learning to ride.

# Pitching in 50/- each to buy a cricket bat for the ‘team’.

# Coming home with the first appointment letter.

# Scheming with friends on how to buy that first dirty magazine from the news stand.

# Buying the first ever Valentine’s Day rose.

# Bargaining with the owner of the Archie’s Gallery over the price of a greeting card.

# Sky gazing on clear winter afternoons.
