When we were small


When we were small,

We would put arms in our shirt and tell people we lost our arms,

< We would try to mix coins in carem board, chess, snake and ladder, luddo and cards, when we knew we were going to lose and start again,

We tried to save paise with small dreams,

We tried to push all the buttons on four colour pens,

We faked being asleep so we would be carried to bed.


We thought sun moved from east to west and moon followed us.

We tried to balance the switch between on and off,

We tried to count the compartments in the running train,

We enjoyed being amidst nature, and loved playing outdoors,

We swallowed a fruit seed and would be scared to death if a tree would grow in tummy and come out of our mouth,

When we were kid’s we couldn’t wait to grow up, and now we have the answer to the most asked question in our childhood – what do you want to become when your grow up?

A Child again - Childhood was the best part of our life, at least mine – with my parents around.
