GONE ARE THOSE DAYS

'We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun'... these lines brings some thoughts into all our minds... for some it might be just a few lines from a song but for many it wont be just a song but much more than that... when i hear these lines an unexplainable feeling fills my mind... my childhood, r those days gone forever?? it seems to me like an enchanted period of life, days where colours were brighter and wind softer...
I still remember well, those days, my childhood days, the days i had with my cousin sister. She is elder to me by just 5 months. from small days itself i am a 'vayadi' of the family and she a quiet girl.. but still we have always had a great time together. once when we were just three or four years old, we climbed on my achas scooter to play on that. when we climbed on the scooter, it was on stand.. but somehow it fell down..with our leg under that.. yes, we got injured but when i think of that it is a smile that comes in.. those injuries are like the gifts that childhood gives us.. those broken hands and wounded legs, those times of crying aloud and soon after that laughing and getting drowned in a world of games and fun as if nothing happened.. how can those days be over so soon?? i still remember me waiting for long holidays, the summer holidays... sitting till two or three playing chess, cards or chumma kathi kathi n more kathi.. roaming around on open grounds.. watching anxiously the fishes in small streams formed in heavy summer rains.. plucking jambakka and several such fruits... athinte puli nunangukond kurumbukal okke kaatti chutti nadakkaan oru prathyeka sukhamaanu.. and now both of us are not getting time even to see each other... what summer, what christmas.. all the days are alike now.. wont those days come back and take us on a ride again on its beautiful wings?? wont we able to enjoy those colours and its warmth again??
