Nostalgia in the park!!

I was in the park trying to shed off the extra kilograms by jogging around ! (I promise i didnt go there to watch hot chicks jog!) aand i saw something which sent me back into flashback! Please bring out your black-and-white flashback glasses and then read on...

I saw some kids playing cricket and then one fat, arrogant and utterly crappy batsmen got out (he was around 10 years old i think) ! And then he suddenly took off with the wickets and bat and starting walking towards home!  Got the point? It was his bat and wickets so he wanted an extra batting!! It so so used to happened with us also during childhood. Parents of such kids always used to buy them cricket kits so that other kids will not bully the crappy kids and kick them out. And then these fat kids were always shitty batsmen and wanted one extra batting - "mera bat hai meri wickets hian.. extra batting do warna main ghar jaa raha hun!!"

While jogging in the flashback mood i suddenly remembered one more game which we used to play during childhood! I SPY!! - Till the point when i came in 10th standard i used to call it aaaaice paaaice ! :D :D In hindi we used to call it chupan-chupai!  And the best part of the game was counting mistakes! Take any kid from the toppers to the last rankers like me, the counting always went like - 1,2,3,4,9,10,20,40,50 :D :D. 

Now when i see kids playing such games, i like the wrong counting part much more than the game itself. It shows the cuteness in the kids and the signs of teamwork in cheating!! Every single of them counts wrong still no one complaints at all!! :D :D . By the way, you dont see kids playing such games anymore these days. Everyone wants to download games and play on their laptops, PS2s and Wiis. 

Duuuude!! Whenever i talk in a tone that "kids these days do this n that" i suddenly start feeling old! :( . 

By the way, its still valentine week going on so here is another awesome message for you all!
