Childhood memories-Heaven on Earth!



"Of all the things I miss in my life, are those childhood days the most "my grandma exclaimed while I asked her about her childhood days. Childhood memories are a treasure to everyone, it is very hard to forget about our sweet memories. I could see, she was more vibrant and her eyes were dazzling.

She told me how she spent those days playing under trees, even in mud along with her siblings. Missing those days was one of the things she regrets for. Kho-Kho, jubilee and lagori were the games she was keen in. While lagori was being played everyday…Kho-Kho and Jubilee were their weekend games. She was so much interested in lagori that she even explained me the way how they played it.

Lagori is a game played between two teams in an wide area involving a ball and a pile of flat stones. A member of one team throws the ball at a pile of stones to knock them over. The team members then try to restore the pile of stones while the opposing team throws the ball at them. If the ball touches a seeker, he is out and his team continues without him. But a team member can always safeguard himself by touching the opposite team member before the ball hits him.


After all this she did not forget to advise me to try playing these games at least on a weekend.Childhood memories are really heaven on this earth,and I assume what my grandma said was true.
