Those were the days...

I hope u guys have seen the recent Airtel ad.. a kid of around 3-4 yrs calls up his dad from his toy mobile complaining that his mom scolded him .. and asks his dad to call up mom and scold her inturn...

i was struck by the innocence of the kid .. and was drawn to my own childhood days..

Those were the days.. carefree and innocent ...

I did my primary schooling in Bangalore .. one of the best days of my life.. We were a bunch of kids in the locality and the evenings used to be fun .. We used to play until dark and sometimes after dark ,gather at one of the friends place talking about ghosts!! :D..

Those were the days....

I particularly remember this incident .. There was a house in the same locality where an elderly person used to live .. and he had a lovely garden in the compound.. jackfruit tree, jasmine creepers , lemon trees comprised the garden.. and that was our playground !!!!

We used to play there only when he was away.. we would run away once we would get the trace of him coming.. :)

once during one of these evacuation drills .. :P .. we were all in a hurry to jump over the compound or the gate to get out of the place as soon as possible before he came.. and in this process my skirt got entangled in the gate and when i jumped ... i landed straight on my face.. :D .. breaking couple of my teeth (fortunately they were only milk teeth) .. and blood oozing out of my lips ...

and u wont believe .. the next day my friend said that the teeth would not grow back if i did not bury my broken teeth .. heheee !!!! and i actually did bury my teeth for the fear of remaining toothless for the rest of my life !!!

hmm...Those were the days ...

Vote now and stop cribbing for next five years

I strongly believe ... If you do not vote during the elections ... you do not have any rights to blame the system... you have no other choice but to live with it...

Our country being the largest democracy in the world gives everybody a chance to elect the kind of leader they want .. but what do we do.. just sit back and relax on the elections day ... not bothering to cast our vote ... We just treat that day as any other sunday...

And what happens once the results are out ..? ... Start cribbing... cribbing and complaining about the candidates elected.. not happy about the party coming to power ..

My question is ... why are you bothered now when you didnt even give a second thought about going and voting ..

There s a common myth .. how can my vote alone make a difference..
Well.. there are people around who could be thinking on similar lines .. but if everbody takes up the responsibility of casting their vote without fail.. just imagine.. one billion votes casted ..
and one billion votes will definitely make a difference..
