Nostalgic Memories - Cherishing the Joys of Childhood

Source-National Centre of Excellence

Times, when we are the happiest without the worries of this world, or worries of our own future, about our career, have a innocent mindset, have no fake feelings for someone or no grudges, life is so simple about our feelings.

The persons we like we show them that yes they are important to us, and the people we don’t line we just ignore to spend time with them or clearly state that yes we don’t like that person. 

We are always so clear about everything expect for the choice that which color we want to wear of playground today, blue or yellow, which ice cream we want to eat chocochips or vanilla, which chips we want, blue lays or red lays.

These precious moments and happy moments of our life is called childhood.

Childhood in Family

Childhood is all about daydreaming, playing with your friends, getting scolded by our parents whenever don’t obey them and spoiling things out of nowhere, putting our demands in front of our parents without having second thoughts.

Being carefree about everything, doing all the drams in front of our parents knowing they love us the most and are going to handle us no matter how naughty we get but innocently. 

Wait for Mom to cook our favorite food after we finish our study sessions or when we return from the playground and run to the kitchen and take our place on the kitchen counter and look at Mom while she prepares our favorite snacks and tells her about our day and our new friends and our teachers.

Then at the end of the day waiting for our dad to come home from the office and expected him to bring chocolates for us so that the next day we can enjoy it after lunch. And also told him about our whole day and also listened to his jokes and his experiences and incidents of his childhood.

Childhood in School Life

School life is one of the best times in our whole life. We learn so many things in our school time, from our parents, from our friend’s parents and obviously from our teachers. 

And even sometimes there are many things we learn from our friends and being between them. Each and everything in our life teaches us something and now it depends on us how we absorb it in ourselves.

What We Cared the Most in Our School Life?

During our school times, all we cared about was we have to get up early for our school, and used to hate the thing about our school. Then as we used to reach school we used to meet our friends the moment we used to realize that it’s okay to get up early if we can enjoy these moments with these precious people. 

Then again we used to hate our decision of coming to school and getting up so early when the teacher used to say ‘Be ready for today’s surprise test’. 

And after so many dramas when it used to come to the time when we had to open our tiffins and expect our favorite food inside it. And it was not just about our tiffin but also our friend's tiffins. 

Then everyone used to share each other's tiffin with everyone used to have a fun and peaceful time also with some games. And after attending all our classes waiting for our parents, auto drivers, or bus drivers to pick us up so that we quickly reach home, switch on our televisions and put up our favorite cartoons and have our lunch with it.

Fighting With the Friends

Fighting with our friends, learning how to tie a shoelace, being excited about annual functions in our school, taking part in annual sports, waiting for children’s day celebration, making tough decisions about taking our school bags on independence day or not to carry it.

Fighting with our friends over stupid stuff, waiting for the ice cream truck that waits in front of the school after the school gets over and purchasing those ice creams, always trying to get the best pencil boxes and different types of unique erasers and pencils to show them off in front of our friends, etc.

Each and everything detail no matter small or big makes our childhood better and memories which we can think about later in our life and smile.
