We have aged in years & maybe size. Memories & moments fade and so does our finance. People in our lives may come and go. But something that stays forever are those innocent and carefree days, we spent as a child.
Our mothers would be alarm clocks, calmly waking us up from our deep slumber - our only ever most difficult task in the morning. The morning chaos at home would mean our multi-tasking mothers preparing and sending her children and husband out of the house to face a new day.
School days were fun where we raced against each other to see who would reach class first. Never the first benchers, always the last benchers only to be pulled up by our teacher to be made to sit in front, right under her nose!
Our teacher’s instructions were like Bible truth to us. Their scolding at times rock music to our ears! Post school was another racing event to see to would reach the school gates first and head home.
The only worry in the world would be whether we would be on time to play with friends in the evening. No technology and yet we were always connected with our friends. So much so that we would know where they would be even if they were not around us. And it would freak us out if any friend could not come to play for more than 2 days. Hopscotch or one-legged race, badminton or football; We fell, we cried, we laughed, we shared… those were the days we never cared.
Why are these childhood memories so precious? Why do they bring that million dollar smile when we think of them?
That’s because these memories were created with the most innocent minds. It was a phase of life where only school, classmates, family and playground meant the world to us
Those were the days when the pleasures of life did not mean much. Those were the days we loved without constraints.
Yes, my friends, those were the best days of our lives!
