Once upon a time....

As we grow older... the simple things in life that used to give us so much pleasure are put into a small corner and left forgotten. But given a chance, its a wonder to see the child in every one surge forward to enjoy life...

As Doctor Who sez "There is no point in being grown up if u cannot be childish sometimes"

We had this competition for decorating the office and needless to say we did not win :-D... but once we cleared the office off all the decorations... Every one got a balloon and immediately started drawing faces and naming them, making up stories about them and throwing them around... even the big bosses. And honestly this was so much more fun than any of the outtings and treats to all those 5 star and 7 star hotels we had been to.(and much more inexpensive too :-))
And amidst the high pressure work we all do... its these flashes of childishness that act as stress relievers and make life worth living. After all, when we talk of the good ol' college days or get nostalgic about something from our childhood wat are we talking about if not them.

sigh!!! it takes me back to....

=>The hot summer when my brothers n I caught squirrels using some "ingenius" traps and then got spanked for it and had to free it again...
=>Going to the first movie with my friends and having a map of all the roads so that we don't get lost and to find we are probably the only people in the theater... (it was flintstones and even kids had not come to watch it :-p)

=?Whitening the front of our desks with chalk powder so when the prof brushes against it, he would have white streaks all over.
=>playing pranks on friends...

Truly... thats life!!!!...
and as they say the best things in life are never expensive or hard to find... they are just sitting inside us waiting to be recognised and exploited.

And believe me I hate it.

Well expressed buddy! Could empathise a lot.

Thanks Anon,
I guess getting nostalgic just means we are getting old after all... :-)
