When fights used to start with "My Dad is Strongest. No, my Dad is Strongest."


**********************************

Kid 1: My dad is strongest.
.
Kid 2: No, my dad is strongest.
.
And then the fight starts and finally parents had to get involved to take their kids back.


**********************************

1) Dad = Superman:


That's how kid's in 90's used to think, most of the time it was one of the most common way how the fight starts among the kids of 90's.


Last week I got a package from Flipkart and in which I found the product wrapped in bubble sheet with which I played till the time all the bubbles were flattened and that reminded me of

2) Bubble Sheet = Bomb:


How we (kid's of 90's) used to play with things which were used by our parents for completely different purpose. Just felt nostalgic, so I started making a note of what all those things we did and then today I did this all this... :D

 3) Umbrella = Gun:


4) Hallway and walls = Canvas:

I bet, every single child has sometimes or the other has scribbled on walls of his/her house. I confess that I did it sometimes, got scolded, then never did.

5) Doctor = Headsman/Executioner:

 

 6) School = Prison:


7) Paper roll = Pirates Binocular:


8) Cardboard Roll = Sword:


9) Broomstick = For flying(which never happened)


10) Bicycle = Army Tank


11) Drawing room = A room with fire on floor

 If you don't remember, ask your mom how many times she scolded you for ruining the drawing room.
(In our house, entry for naughty kids was banned in the drawing room)

12) Bed = Trampoline

 Well, same comment as above(confirm from your parents :P)
(I did this, very rarely, u know why :P)

And at last,
13) Toy Soldier = Real Soldiers



PS: To the kids of 21st century: You're gonna miss your real childhood. :)
PS: A special thanks to Google for the images and Flipkart for reminding the good old days.

The Unposted Letters..!!

Image
  When the mind sways, And when the same feelings this heart portrays, And when pot is also not left with enough ink, so when the quill says, Words on the parchment feel like a cheap fabric that frays. So many lines fumbled, So many feelings got crumbled, Like someone feels when they get ghosted, Those letters, in the drawer, always remained unposted. PS: Most of my posts are late night musings. Either way, the letter posted or not, the things I write reach this online platform or not, it feels good to scribble down random words once in a while.

A Long and A Lone Run.. Few thoughts..!!

Image
Covid-19 has got to the nerves of everyone, someway or the other. However, there is one thing that has helped me maintain my sanity is endurance sports, like long runs and long bike rides. There are days, when I've started doing my own mini-duathlon (say 20-30km bike ride followed by 10k run). This might sound awkward to many, but there are few who will be okay with me doing this. Despite all this, even with so much physical activity, I've never attempted a half marathon alone. All my 14 half-marathons have been in some event or the other. Maximum distance I've covered alone, I guess, will be around 17-18km at a stretch. So to give it a try, last weekend, I thought of attempting a half marathon. All alone. I made this decision pretty late I guess, as weekend was almost over. Yup, it was just another usual Sunday evening (there wasn't anything special gonna happen while everyone is stuck in the lockdown). I geared up and went down for a run. However, with Corona around t

Lets see, What gonna happen...

Few days ago, I was wondering around thinking about, what will be our future????? We are always consoled by our parents that we have a bright future and we are going to reach the new heights of success.....but are we really gonna have it???????? A couple of decades earlier, it was easy for one to get placed.....Anyone somehow, someway get settled. No tension. But, today a big mob is running for the same.....So have you ever thought that where in this world do you stand????? Amidst this large crowd, what's our status????? We have to do something creative, innovative and discover something that is different from others with which we can move ahead and succeed in life..... Ohhh.....seems that i have diverted my discussion to a serious one.....isn't it????? Actually I'm writing this post because today when i was just scrolling through some of the pics in my laptop.....i recalled a couple of the funny moments which i had...some during my previous semester and some of them du
