I wanna go back ...in my childhood.
I am a child of the 80s. There is alot about how my childhood days would have been. Being born in the 80s is the best thing that happened to me. My life did not revolve around a TV and computer.
I had time to do so many things which the current generation misses out on. I feel extremely nostalgic about those days and wish I could have all of it back. This is how life was back then, peaceful and calm, and so beautiful and happy.
Playing in the mud and yet not getting any infection or falling ill. Playing catch, kho kho, the color game, and with marbles. Waiting for hours outside for the first rain of the season so that I could get wet.
Picking flowers from anywhere, and making garlands for God. Discovering my love for books at the tender age of 6 which has provided me with endless joy over the years. Now there is no any library left as people prefer to read online.
Playing badminton late into night with my siblings and friends. Playing Business (Indian version ) with my father and brother and feeling sad when my father lost. Getting onto my mother's lap for all day long when no work left around.
Spending holidays at the Nani's home with no worries about studies or anything.
Waiting for Sunday morning cartoons on TV. Watching Mahabharata and Ramayana on TV on Sunday mornings. In the 80s, there was no cable and we watched TV mainly on Sundays.
A computer was something we saw once a week in school during computer classes. We spent time playing and running with friends instead of being glued to video games. Staring out of the window at nothing, or just watching birds was awesome time pass.
How I miss those days and how I feel sad for today's kids whose time goes in watching TV, catching up on Facebook, running to a million classes and being over-achievers.
I really wanna go back -:(
