Childhood memories, fond memories, memories that would stick to your mind forever, and you wish if you could live those times forever. Here are a few of my favourite childhood things.
1. Getting home from school on a hot afternoon, and eating vadai, made by mom.
2. Stepping out to play, "running and catching" or "7 stones" with your street friends.
3. Grandma telling those magical stories while feeding thaiyir saadam, with avakkai oorgugai using her fragile wrinkled hands.
4. Sitting at home on election days and national holidays, and don't know what to do.
5. Making sand castles on the beach, when dad takes you for a walk.
6. Making most of those train rides to the native town. Packing puli saadam, and idli on those journeys.
7. Hiding those exam papers from dad, since marks were below average.
8. Eating ice cream from that road side vendor, and didn't care about who saw or complained.
9. Wearing a "colour-dress" on birthdays, while the entire school wore uniforms. Feeling proud of the fact that it's your birthday.
10. Holidaying in grandma's place every summer, and playing endlessly with cousins.
11. Playing in the rain, and coming home to mom, who would definitely scold you! But don't care...
12. That first boy who held your hand...and you thought you'd get pregnant!!!
13. Shopping for those fancy clothes during Deepavali and Pongal in Pondy bazaar.
14. Gate-crashing into the neighbour's home, since she has made gulab-jamuns and pakodas on a lazy sunday afternoon!
15. Eagerly waiting for appa to get home, to pick out that 5 star from his pocket!
Ah..how nice...childhood...it brings back sweet memories, and a tear!
