my childhood withses

-


As a little kid, I always thought that when I would grow up and start earning, life would be all fun and no worries. I would do whatever I want without any bindings. But what I didn’t know at that time was that all the good things in life come in packages. When you start earning, you cannot have a long leisure time due to responsibility towards work, and when you have a happy family you cannot spend all your earnings having fun time with them, as you have to secure the future of your loved ones.

Though it appears like a dream, but if I had a life without constraints, the following are the top 5 things on my bucket list that I would do if I were BefikarUmarBhar:
1.       Ever since I visited Switzerland, I have been mesmerized by the natural beauty it possesses. Though I spent two weeks there, exploring the beautiful snow clad mountains and lush green landscapes, I still lounge to go there and enjoy the beauty of this heavenly land. If I would be befikar umarbhar I would like to spend one full month in Switzerland, exploring it on train, trams, and boats and even on foot with a camera in my hand.

2.       I have always been fascinated by the magic, mystery and beauty of Egypt. If got a chance, I would like to spend a month in Egypt enjoying the natural beauty of the land and exploring the archaeological sites. I would even like to discover a Pharaoh’s tomb there!!!

3.       The first time I visited Disneyland I decided that I would surely visit this place with my kids. When I visited there with my kids, we stayed there for two days. But, I realized that two days are not enough to enjoy the happiest place on earth! If I would have been befikar umarbhar, I would spend at least 15 days in Disneyland watching all the Disney parades, all the shows and taking all the rides again and again! Each day I would enter the park at the opening time and would come out after closing of the park.

4.       When I went to Las Vegas I was amazed to see this fun filled place! Though I could not try out most of the games there, it was fun watching people gambling with large stakes, irrespective of their winning or losing! My husband sanctioned a budget of $100 for me to gamble in the casino. I thoroughly enjoyed spending one hour in casino with it, but still regret that the money did not last long! Imagine how much fun it would have been if I could play with $2000! If I would be free of all the worries, I would explore all the games of the casinos and try my luck with $2000! If I could play with this money without any worry, maybe I can bring home $20,000 and become more befikar!


5.       Since my childhood, I have imagined a place full of books ( like the library in” Beauty and the Beast”) where I could be lost and no one would disturb me. If I had a large amount of money which I could spend without worry and had no need to work for earning, I would have a big wall to wall library, where I could be lost in books for days together! as I won’t need to work I would be able to spend the whole day in the library, without any need to step out!

Sailing through a sale

I cannot forget a scene from a short skit on TV, which I saw years before. An old lady is lying on deathbed and doctors have lost all the hopes. At that very time, her daughter-i-in-law whispers something into her ear. The lady instantly gets up, puts her shawl on her shoulder and moves out. When asked about the miraculous words, the daughter-in-law reveals that she had just informed her that there was a sale in the biggest store of the city. Such is the magical power of sale, that one can forget all the worries and run ahead on hearing about a sale. I remember that in my childhood days, “sales” were not so ubiquitous, as they are now. May be, because those were the days, when the middle size cities had not caught “brand fever”. I remember that in my city there was a unique craze of “Garden Saris sale”, which was organized in a hall rented by the company. My aunts waited for this sale for months together. When the sale was on, it was talk of the town. Ladies finished their house

The word nature itself brings a smile on my face, as it reminds me of my childhood days. As a child, I had never seen TV, leave apart computer and mobile phones, which were not even heard of. The only electronic gazette in the house was radio, which was always under the strict control of my elder sisters and even touching the knob of radio could be termed as a punishable offence, as it would force them to search again for the lost radio station.  It can be said that going to Mother Nature was a compulsion for the children in that era, but it never felt boring as each moment spent with nature brought its own surprises.  I become nostalgic remembering the moment spent under a tree in our own garden in the name of picnic. We used to collect peanuts, biscuits, toffee, water and head towards the tree for the picnic. The long summer afternoons appeared too short for such a picnic. Collecting berries, raw mangoes in the garden while w atching the numerous birds  was a great joy. Such picnic

BLOGGING: FREEDOM FROM FEAR OF REJECTION

I had some vague idea about blogging but had never thought that I could enter this beautiful world! I always had an urge to write. As a child, I wrote some poems also, but don’t know why and how I quit writing. During the study of Engineering and subsequently landing upon a so called prestigious government job, the urge to be a writer was hidden somewhere. As writing noting on official files do not require any creativity, so the only sign that I was a creative person inside was the sense of humour displayed by me in witty conversation with my kids or the funny parodies I made to inspire them to eat their food or brush their teeth.  Also, during official functions, I was tired of giving welcome speech and vote of thanks, as I was considered the most suited for this work, but never took seriously the appreciation I got for it. After some years, when the children were old enough to provide me with spare time to write, I again ventured into writing from the spare time left from offic
