The Bliss of Innocence

I REMEMBER...


My first day at school at the age of 3…where I made myself comfy by hiding at my sis’s feet(she was in first class and there was a lot of room for me beneath her bench) playing, a top which I brought from home, till my class teacher came looking for me…

The days I used to run around like my daddy’s little girl, helping him clean his bike( though it wasn’t much really, I used to feel I was doing all the work…:p )

The days when my mom used to do all sorts of lovely things just to ensure that I ate.

The days when me n my sis used to play all the world’s most funniest games till we had no more energy left.

The days when my brother used to take me for joy rides, going down the lanes that I randomly pointed at.

The day my mother tried so hard just to bring back the smile on my crying face.

My first day at the new big school in my second class…where the mere strength of the class…a whopping 72 students was enough to make me get a fake stomach ache so I could sleep in the last bench :p

The days when I used to curl into my mom’s lap, feeling gloomy, on a Sunday night… ( had to go back to school on mon…:) )

How many of those kids forced to work at those hotels or construction sites REMEMBER such things?

I ask: How can something be remembered when it hasn’t even happened? ...

Every child is equally innocent and has got every right to enjoy that bliss of innocence. 

Sunscreen

These are parts of the song sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann which i liked...some simple facts of life:

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.

But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked...

You're not as fat as you Imagine.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours

Don't waste your time on jealousy;

Sometimes you're ahead,

Sometimes You're behind.

The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;

If you Succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your

Life.

The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings;

They are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on.

After a looong time...

Huh...finally after a looong time got myself to sketch a pic...good to see dat i haven't forgotten these things...
