When I was a kid....

Yesterday I was reminiscing about the things that I used to do when I was a kid...

When I was a kid, I used to.....
play a lot of games.....until it was too dark to see anything;
return home late from school everyday in a dirty, ink stained shirt;
used to be a lot more close to my parents and family;
fight a lot ( esp with my sis);
go any lengths to be in the centre of attention, and I used to love it everytime I got there;
sulk often at home and throw a fit about not eating dinner...but would be secretly waiting for my Mom to come and feed me;
loudly mimic the vegetable vendor everytime he passes by our street;
pose with a funny (what I thought was cool) look everytime for the cameras;
break everything from a TV to a radio to a telephone, and pray silently that my Dad was going to be in one of his good moods;( never was the case though)
travel with my family every summer to someplace or the other;
go to the beach every Saturday(with my family of course), play on the sand, stand on the seashore, rush back everytime the waves came by;
and I couldnt wait for sunday to arrive, for that was the day of assembling at grandma's house and non-stop cricket with Cogito and co;
go crazy about Sachin, Ayrton Senna, Stefan Edberg, Agassi and Mike Tyson;
play cricket inside my house with the walls acting as bowlers and furnitures as fielders....it was always India vs some other team and Sachin got a big score and lot of wickets everytime;
guard a 10 rupee note as if it were my life;
never wanted to cut my hair;
wanted to grow old really fast;
and a lot more.....
and now that I am 22.....I want to be a kid who wants to do all these things again;
