I want to go back to the time when every evening PLAYING was the only important activity.
I want to go back to the time when WORRIES were never a part of life.
I want to go back to the time when RUNNING around was only for fun.
I want to go back to the time when DECIDING what to play was the most important decision to make.
In short, I want to go back to my CHILDHOOD!
As I sat in my terrace trying to decide which chapter to study, I suddenly heard a loud laughter. In the ever calm terrace where only a few septuagenarians and people like me spend time enjoying the breeze and sunset, this sudden noise (I can’t call it noise), made the whole atmosphere in the terrace more lively and positive.
I looked behind and saw a bunch of eight kids between the ages of three and seven talking, randomly laughing and playing a game which they called the JUMPING game.
Looking at their enthusiasm, one lady asked them- ‘what is this game all about?’ The kid, who apparently looked like the head of the group, replied back saying, that the game was all about jumping around saying 'Yayyee Yayyee'.
As they continued playing, an involuntary smile slid across my face. I could not stop myself from enjoying their little activity of joy. Trust me; all of them looked unbelievably happy and enthusiastic. They looked as though no tension or sorrow could ever touch them.
I could not help but, be jealous of them. What a stage of LIFE they were in! Play, sleep, eat, and run around. I wanted to be one among them. I wanted to go back to my childhood.
So, this post is dedicated to those eight kids who made my evening!
