Ye Daulat Bhii Le Lo, Ye Shoharat Bhii Le Lo
Bhale Chhiin Lo Mujhase Merii Javaanii
Magar Mujhako Lautaa Do Bachapan Kaa Saavan
Vo Kaagaz Kii Kashtii, Vo Baarish Kaa Paanii…..
Very very true and heartfelt wish… Wish I could go back in time…
Blissful time.. Childhood.. I particularly remember an incident of childhood.. The innocence and carefree attitude attached with it. My parents, me and my sister had once gone out of town to Kanpur. We used to stay in Orai, U.P at that time. When we returned, we figured that had had an un-invited guest at our home in our absence, in the name of a thief and he had thoroughly investigated and taken away things he had liked.
Needless to say my parents were in tension.
I felt it was an exciting event. Something different from everyday life, my sister was probably too small to make any sense out of it. The only thing we both were concerned about was that we had brought some special potato chips from Kanpur and we wanted to eat them!!! We wanted for some-one to unpack the bag and give us chips !!!! In-fact I clearly remember eating them in the messed up home ! That means my parents had actually given us the pack even amidst all that confusion, tension and mayhem…

Mom and dad were busy looking for important stuff, contacting people & police and asking landlords if they knew who could have done this and blah blah ! We both were just happy looking at all excitement around.. ;)
And the icing on the cake was when I got to know that there would be news in the newspaper about the theft. My excitement knew no limit thinking our home’s news would be a matter of public importance… Such is childhood…
Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again. So when life gets tough you can just play pretend. I wanna go back to when Santa did exist. When your daddy was the only boy you ever kissed… When your biggest problem was learning to write your name and people didn't change.. And every time you were sad or you had a bad day, You could just run to mommy and it would all be okay..I wanna feel dat way again- loved, secured & innocent…. When everyone always lives happily ever after.
Kabhii Ret Ke Unche Tiilon Pe Jaanaa
Gharaunde Banaanaa Banaake Mitaanaa
Vo Maasuum Chahat Kii Tasviir Apanii
Vo Kvaabon Khilaunon Kii Jaagiir Apanii…….
Na Duniyaa Kaa Gam Thaa Na Rishton Ke Bandhan
Badii Khuubasuurat Thii Vo Zindagaanii…
