I miss those days !!!

As I went into bed last night, going into trance, I realized that "I miss those days!"

Wondering which days I am talking about? Let me try to simplify :)

I miss the days when instead of a full touch screen cellphone in my pocket, there was just one Landline phone in whole neighborhood.

I miss the days when the most revolutionary thing about television was not Satellite DTH TV, LED, LCD but it was DD METRO.

I miss the days when instead of having liberty of watching any show on youtube anytime I want, there was that eager wait for Mahabharat, Chandrakanta, Surabhi and He-Man for a week.

I miss the days when Entertainment didn't mean Multiplexes, XBox, Playstation but it meant going to Kankaria Zoo or thappo(hide & seek) and Langdi :)

I miss the days when there wasn't a USB stick playing Dire Straits in the car in Sony music system, but it was singing some Govinda song while riding a bicycle to school, that I might have heard in the morning on Vividh Bharti.

I miss the days when instead of sitting in office late in the evening, I used to throw away the schoolbag and run away to play cricket in school uniform every evening (mom shouting, of course :) ).

I miss the days when Deadline didn't mean project dates with client's millions hanging on that, it meant homework to be submitted within 5 days which would be 4 short questions on a Hindi Poem.

I miss the days when Sadness didn't mean pieces of a broken heart, it meant getting out on first ball in a daily cricket game in the backyard.

I miss the days when Uttarayan didn't mean trying to manage schedule of office to leave early on 14th Jan, it meant being on terrace every evening from 14th Dec flying kites.

I miss the days when answer to every question was not Google.

I miss the days when instead of getting 3 tennis cricket balls worth more than a hundered bucks to play just for one day with friends, I used to try and convince dad for a couple of weeks to get me a rubber cricket ball(MRI Brand :D) worth Rs 3.

I miss the days when Complexity din't mean client's critical data flowing through an interface within a mesh of the complex systems, it meant remembering dates of the Historic Events.

I miss the days when instead of ordering the peon to get pens whenever required from office stationary, I used to use the same box of pencils for the whole year.

I miss the days when answer to the hunger wasn't Domino's but it was Parle-G.

I miss the days famously knows as, Childhood. I wish, for a day may be, I can be a kid again.

If this blog in any way reminded you of any of the days from your wonderful life and brought even a little smile on your face, I would appreciate if you express it through a comment :)

Wishing you all a happy, Lively, Satisfactory life ahead full of the moments that make life worth living...Cheers...
