Posted on March 17, 2011
My childhood was carefree unknown to what is happening around. The childhood in mid
70’s was full of life enjoying outdoors. No TV, Internet or video games.
In summer we used to play all sort of games; Kabaddi, Cricket, Football, Tag, hide and seek etc. This was the season of the marriages thus it was a heaven on earth for the kids.

I was unaware till I saw the blood oozing out badly. I was scared and didn’t want to tell my parents. My entire shirt was filled with blood stains. Slowly I managed to sneak into the backyard and wanted to reach the well to wash the stains and change my shirt. But, I was caught in the mid-way by my MAUSI. She saw the blood was oozing out badly from my head. She pulled me into the kitchen and applied the tea dust onto the wound. It was a magic. The blood stopped oozing. She wiped my blood stains, changed the shirt and voila! back to the game.
In monsoon season the common fun was rain dance. Other games were tops (lattoo),
Biking, playing board games, making paper boats and those boat competitions in the streams. The most fun was to
