Childhood...........

The best time of life..........Golden time.........the most memorable time of life...........Most precious phase of life........

Childhood , indeed, is THE BEST phase of every person's life. Innocence, carefree mind and heart, 'I give a damn to what the world thinks about me' kinda attitude!!! Just following what the heart says and doing it.

No theories. No complications. no calculations and statistical analysis about the pros and cons.

Blank pages of brain eagerly  waiting for the world's knowledge to get printed. Asking endless number of questions- whys, hows, whats, which s, whens, wheres and an urge to find their answers. Smiling open heartedly-the most innocent and purest form of smile- reflecting God's love.  Crying for a small candy. Playing with children whom we don't even know- displaying team spirit; something which is rare to find among the so called GROWN UPS ( Though they pretend to have team spirit, but on introspection, we can find that all that is hollow, fake. All that remains in today's mean world is- Jealousy). Enjoying the blooming flowers, the rain, the rainbow, the sky, the sun, the moon, playing in the mud, making castles near the beach, launching paper rockets, barbie dolls, superman toys, screaming,getting drenched in the rain without bothering about falling ill, playing from dawn till the dusk, sleeping with no burdens on the mind ( wanna know what is SOUND SLEEP?? Watch a new born sleeping beside its mother). No race to win, no deadlines to finish, no competitions to quarrel for, no worry about the unpaid bills, no concerns about  growing age. Unaware of the pains and hurts the growing age will bring, children aspire to grow up soon. Its a mirage. Tempts when you look at it from a distance, but when you actually grow up, you repent and miss THOSE BEAUTIFUL DAYS.......!!!!!

I wish I could go back in time!!!! I wish I had a remote for our life, with a rewind button.!!! I wish I could relieve that beautiful phase!!!!

Jagjit Singh has aptly given tune to this desire......

Yeh daulat bhi le lo.....

Ye shoharat bhi le lo....

Bhale cheen lo.....mujh se meri jawaani...

Magar mujh ko lautaa do, bachpan ka saawan

Woh kaagaz ki  kashti...Woh baarish ka paani.....

Woh kaagaz ki kashti......Woh baarish ka paani.....
