Hi folks.. am back again... hope you all had a wonderful weekend.. Today I was just whiling my time as usual by reading a book.. Most of you must have already read this book a hundred times over.. 'Killing a Mocking Bird', I had heard a lot about it but now only got the chance to get my hands on it.. Man, its really good.. A movie too has been made based on this and I would love to watch it.. While reading it I felt like I was revisiting my childhood.. Just like the kids in the book we too were a group of three my brother Sandy, myself 'n another kid by name of Chotu.. I was basically the character Jem was in the book.. then Chotu as Dill 'n Sandy as Scout.. We always used to hang around in our locality.. play games or sit around whiling our time doing nothing.. The funny thing is, when chotu moved into our locality we got introduced to each other through a fight only.. my mom remembers it exactly as it just happened right now.. both my bro 'n chotu rolling on the ground punching blows after blows.. but later, we all became such good friends that we were inseparable.. Just like the Radley house we too had our share of a haunted place but it was not a house but a water tank at the far end of a park near to our locality.. I remember we never used to go near to the tank ... NO... NO.. not because we were scared (how could that idea even cross your head!) we were just concerned as was humanly possible about the ghosts' well being.. ha ha.. It's so fun being kids.. no worries ..... no responsiblities.. just taking each day as it comes... making up imaginary stories.. eating softies 'n cotton candies.. Even though am pretty grown up now but am still a kid at heart.. always wanna be like that only.. I just love being with kids.. love playing with them.. watching cartoons... listening to them talk .. it's like reliving your childhood..
