MY CHILDHOOD

I love writing.
I used to write a lot of stories in my childhood along with my brother. We speak Marwadi at home (Marwadi is one the regional languages in India, people belong to Rajasthan state speak Marwadi/Rajasthani). My brother and I used to convert the songs from Bollywood/Hindi, school poems into Marwadi and used to write them just for a fun. Papa used to buy for us few notebooks to be used in the school, but instead of utilizing for school, we used to fill-it up with stupid poems, stories etc. I used to love writing but not homework :) OOOW I'm going to be 2* + now and still feel so excited about my childhood. I think, I'm not the 1st person who is excited about childhood, but everybody likes to talk about it.
I still love writing but I hardly use pen in my hand only when I've to give presentation or have to explain to colleagues. This software life sucks, I tried to get rid of so many times but can't live w/o it is the ultimate truth, I've been doing computers since my junior college, it's about 12 yrs. now. Things have been changed so much. I still remember we used to have one lecture about computers once in 2 months in school (I'm talking about 1990's when we just heard the name computers). We used to be given calculator to do some homework and computer was lying just for show no was allowed to touch it :). I had feelings that computer must have hands, legs, and brains. (I used to watch T.V. serials in which they used to show Robos and animated computers).
I was too lazy (I'm still the same) to do any work at home so consistently used to think to steal the computer from school and take at home and get all the job done. But when I saw computer for the 1st time, I was traumatized.
HUH! No wonder my dreams were shattered and made me to learn computers :(. My father forced me so much to choose computers as my career, I hated computers since childhood ( and you know by now WHY?) Though I'm at good position, earning a lot but when I see my friends who are house-wives they are enjoying their lives at fullest, I need to go to office, talk to clients, fix up appointments, see the juniors, report to seniors, keep on speaking and sit infront of idiot box and code, find others bugs, solve other stupid mistakes etc-etc.
Aah! I was so excited the day I came to Bangalore to search for a job after my P.G. (in July, 2002). But market had slowdown and dreams were shattered again, I'm a gold medalist (in graduation) and scored high marks in P.G as well,but was of no use, at many places people threw my resumes in dust bin infront of me, didn't even give me a chance to prove. One day my dreams came true when Siemens gave me chance as a fresher, then there started my good luck and I went on hopping, worked in Microsoft after Siemens, then SAP Labs, went to Singapore worked for Yokogawa Engineering, came back got married, YEAH! got my dream boy while working in SAP Labs (not really but he is decent), and married to him last year. He/My hubby only insisted me to start writing again. I tell you, it's giving me immense pleasure to write after years and giving me the same satisfaction as in my childhood. Thanks! GAURAV
In childhood, the stories coming into mind were different, now only problem comes into my mind, I want to change the world a very common dream of all Indians, everyday I make up my mind to do something but disappears when I get no response, I'll surely make it one day just watch it.
I love horror T.V. serials/novels/books/stories/comics. We used to buy comics and used to give on rent for 25 paisa per day. Awesome! I've business in my blood since childhood, I still remember, my neighbor had a small daily-needs shop. That boy was spastic patient, everybody from the colony used to take advantage of that boy when his parents were not around, and why should I be behind, I think I was the person who took most of the advantages from that mentally retarded small boy, :), do you believe it or not, but I'm like that, don't call me selfish but I'm an OPPORTUNIST, I used to get the comics from that boy when his parents were not around, also used to play a lot with that boy, why, because I don't like losing, and I knew that if I play with that boy I'll always win. I still have the same thirst of winning the battle but I don't have that boy as my opponent. ( :( )
I feel, I've been changed a lot since childhood, I used to think I'll never change whatever may come, but it's not always applicable, and someday you learn being practical. I used to be artistic, stood first many times in Drawing, Painting, Rangoli, Mehandi (henna) many times whenever I participated. I had my own cloths designed and stitched. Not only mine but also for my sweet DOLL, I never got her married, all of my chidlhood friends used to get their doll married, used to have big parties at home and used to cook for baratis. I think, you would have got the reasons by now why didnt I get married my DOLL, very simple, I was too lazy to learn cooking, and never liked into Kitchen. My dreams were unknown. I used to make house models on the papers and hand it over to my father saying that this is my dream house, I own one house but it's not my dream house, since childhood I dreamt to have a house like in films they show. 200 rooms, lots of servants, no work, you will be served TEA in bed, I don't like bed tea and to be very frank I still get the tea served by my husband many times specially over weekends, though he doesnt drink tea, but he knows whenever I'm lazy to prepare he makes it for me, SO SWEET:) just like my mom.
I've been very short tempered and full of anger since childhood, I still have a bomb particle. Anger is a one word shorter of DAnger (recently found), but I'm helpless, I don't stand by lies, dishonesty, indiscipline. I've my own principles and still follow them.
I've been a prankster, ebullient. In my school I used to sit in between two guys, I used to talk too much and used blow others mind with stupid questions. I was given few titles in my school/college like "Titali (means butterfly)", "Jhaasi ki Raani ( used to take pangas with everybody) ", "Difficulty". I do remember about homework not being done in schools, always had excuses for homework, many times the same reason "I've done but forgot my homework notebook at home". Sometimes used to get chance go back home and get the notebook, but manytimes stood out of the classes as a punishment. :) But never mind started of some other excuses, like stomach ache, headache etc. I used to go to school by Auto Rikshaw but never liked it, and used bang behind other's Rikshaws. I was sent to Dance school forcefully by my MOM, never liked her she used to be behind for homework, food, dance school also hated more when she used to switch off the T.V. and used stop me going out for playing without doing homework. My brothers had different mind altogether, they were smarter than I, they used to get money for each homework done and also gifts. But I was never behind money and gifts, what I used to LOVE is freedom, freak out and mingle with neighbors, talk and talk, fight and beat others, trouble, play pranks, make fun and come back home only after mid-night (not possible). I used to fight at least once in a day. My mom was tired of resolving the issues. I was very close to my grand mom, she used to narrate many stories, my special request used to be for "BHOOT KI KAHANIYAN". I wanted to see BHOOT (Ghost) in my childhood, who can become my slave and do all the jobs for me, very imaginative but true, I still feel to get one magic power to win over anything.
