Let's engage!
i don't remember exactly how this discussion came up, but somehow from the monotonous talk it veered off towards which games we played in our childhood. i've already written abt it in one of my previous blogs, so won't redo that. Instead, i'll write abt the highlight of our discussion - the terminologies used in those simple but enchanting games. e.g. Kite flying - pecha, saddi, sankal, lugdi, bareli, kanna, dheel, kheechu, ragge-suppuk, dhap khana, lapkaana etc. The marbles - billas, pinni, baccha, dhaai, aat lagaana, ringan/paddi-gol, kaan-kaan chappu...mindblowing stuff!
Parineeta made a good viewing. Despite all the opulent sets n all, its not merely a show of grandeur like Devdas. A simple story told simply. Saif n Vidya Balan are refreshing, Sanju baba as genuine as ever.
One more week/weekend gone. Just like that. Its a period, if not of melancholy, of in-action, of lethargy. Stupid monotonous work and irregular timings at office, un-eventful weekends...all conjures up for apathy towards everything. At the end of the day, it leaves you with a lots of your energy unutilized. n guess what, its showing up as the amassing fat on my tummy. Its high time to shake off the ennui n get into shape(sic). Let's engage!
i remain.

The games we played are a world apart from the X-Box which our nephews and nieces play these days. I love the way kids ran from one galli to another hoping that, that "katleli patang" might fall in here, thinking what kind of maanja it might have and how long?, and whether they will ever become "raja" by potting that ill-fated "gaar" in maggul and stuff like that. Really those were one of the most lived moments in life.
We are the same still, and have just moved to yahoo-games, mousebreaker, shockwave etc playing text-twist,stickcricket,bmxstar, just to name a few.
I hope we all carry that same child in us for a long time to come.
Nice write up anky...
keep it up.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.

Anky,
Good work. I dont know whether I was a child or not..But I got nostalgic !!!Although the vocabulary we had was pretty much different than what u have. Hardly matters !!!
Keep on,
Rahulya
I'm more concerned about the passing w/ends and the stupidity of work that you talk about.
I think cycling is a great exercise. We need more time out in the open - and cycling to/from work will give you that.
Also get out and into a community. A place where you meet more people.
Cheers!
