Childhood memories....

There are times in everybody’s life when you think of your childhood days and feel like going through the photo album which is full of precious memories that our parents have captured. Yesterday was one of those days for me and as I am flipping the pages of the album for the umpteenth time now, I stop at this photo which is definitely one of my favorites. I kept staring at it and I felt as if I’d gone back into the past again…. It was a Sunday, dad was home, mom finished stitching the pretty summer frocks for US (me n my sis) and in a jiffy we were into them. Dad never missed to take out the camera on such picture perfect days and we were - as always excited for a photo shoot. So we went into the balcony, posed and I could hear dad shouting “a lil to the right, a lil to the left.. aah!! Perfect”. Mom was finding it difficult to carry us both at the same time but somehow managed it. “Say cheese”, dad said and we give our best smiles ever except my sis didn’t know what was happening (she was prolly 1 n a half or 2 then) and had a ‘what is dad up to??’ look. CLICK!!! Picture perfect….. And I hear mom shouting my name out loud. Damn!! I had to put the clothes on the string for drying since me maid went to her hide out again :X !! So after I finish the chore, I come back only to find out that I don’t remember any other happenings of that day!! Sigh.. tried a few times to recollect but nevertheless started staring at the pic again. Gosh!! Mom looks so pretty and that was my favorite place in the whole wide world back then… It was a lil lower than the normal floor – so had few steps, where I’d sit for hours and play wid me cousins. It also had a jaali on the top where the creepers would hang onto it. Looked awesome!! \m/ but pity it had to be destroyed cos of vastu and all… Miss the place more than ever , miss staying wid me family in that house. Hopefully we will soon be staying together in the same house again since i finish my course next month :D **crosses fingers**
