Come on let us lean back to a caned chair, and just tune to our Nostalgia. A beautiful, colourful, cherished fully, enjoyed, wanting to be again, along with our parents, brothers, sisters, co-brothers, co-sisters, uncles, aunts, neighbours, friends, enemies, food eaten, picnics, teachers, lectures, atmosphere where we dwelt with.
All have a tendency once they grow up; have children, to relate to them, the childhood incidences. Once they come across their childhood friends here they communicate their past days. Picnic spots, while they go along with their children, friends here too the same things happens.
It is an overwhelming of emotions that come across, when we relate these incidences. We feel we have gone back and lost to those days.
All will be having smiling, full blooming, positive attitude, towards those wonderful days. This is called childhood days. A child clings to the parents even for a silly reason, because we have got a strong protection there.
All the stories or events that has taken place within four walls, within the family members, days behind days, decades and decades ago. Where we run, jump, play, fight, pull each other’s hair, tare frocks, throw stones, free to do anything. Oh! What a days, so bright, so sunny, so cloudy, floating boats in water, splashing water, making each other wet, falling, getting up, going up and down those were the days we learnt more, getting well prepared to face life’s challenges, avenging as a one-man-army, in what-so-ever difficulties to face it.
Oh! Is it for this, God’s plan was such a great, very cunning, very butterfly, preparing us well to face the future well prepared as an battalion. Thanks for it oh god! What were your plans? Is it you so beautiful, so enchanting, through the role our parents, sister, neighbours, friends, enemies. We have learnt more. No matter what so ever the situation is we are on the march forward.
Oh! Its sibbling not sizzling CHILDHOOD DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the glimpses of the past.
