Going Down The Memory Lane...

Today I just happen to pass by a park and I was observing the games little kids were playing...What I saw was quite amusing...there were few kids who had I-Pods plugged into thier ears...there were few with mobile phones...showing off to their friends some new games or pictures...few had some other electonic stuff...little girls were dressed up as if they have to perform a fashion show that very moment...they sat in a corner and were gossiping like teen-agers...

All of us have had childhood memories...but it was nothing of this sort...we played games...outdoor games...where we skinned our knees,sweated out in the heat,played till the time our parents didn't drag us back home...all those hide-n-seek,catch me if you can,chain-chain...the list is endless...and I remember coming back home carrying loads of dust and dirt in my clothes and surprizingly we never got any "infection"!

We had real friends...with whom we fought,cried,made teams,laughed...not like what the kids have today...fake electronic pals...I seriously feel that these "mall-culture" kids are missing out on loads of fun...afterall you don't get this time back of running around in a playground with wind in your hair and sand at your feet...living a careless and free life...

Childhood is something which gives us memories we can treasure for our entire lives...after all its our childhood where we realize for the first time that there is a hidden talent in us...some of us almost feel that after Sachin Tendulkar and Prakash Padukone the only saviour of Indian sport is US!

I remember a few lines of one of my favourite song as I think of my chilhood friends and memories...
"We Had Joy...We had Fun...
We Had Seasons In The Sun...
But the Stars We Could Reach...Were The Star- Fish On The Beach..."

Mirror Mirror On The Wall...

Not too often it happens that the first thing that I do when I wake up in the morning is to see myself in the mirror...it happened today and I noticed myself closely with half-asleep,messed up hair morning look...
I am five foot three,with long-length hair that lands on my waist.My hair color is black.I am medium kind of person.
Not fat,not skinny;I exercise 6 days a week,a little bit of cardio vascular exercises and light sessions of weight training. But nothing to excess,nothing not enough.
Not obsessed,addicted to anything.
I'm neither out-going nor shy...but a little of both...depending on my mood...depending on the occasion.
I never overdo anything and enjoy most of the things I do.
I am seldom bored and rarely whine.
I am pretty...not stunning,not ugly.
I don't expect too much,am never too disappointed.
I'm OK.
Nothing spectacular but sometimes special.
I look in the mirror and see this medium average person.

A little tired...a little sad...but not falling apart...
