Chidhood-youth; Then and Now

Do you have any childhood memories that you cherish? I think all of us cherish memories of childhood days. Sit and think i am sure there are lot of memories,some unforgettable, some exciting and some painful.
As a child there were certain things i wanted to accomplish, things i wanted to do before i cross certain age. For instance, i always admired Royal Enfield motor bike. I still have that fire in my mind to own it, to ride it, to cross miles... man am so excited to do it.
How i fell in love with this machine?

As a little boy i admired toys; bikes, toy guns, cars, trains and to be honest i still secretly admire some of these (but not to that extent) whenever i go shopping with my other half. ha ha ha, think i am funny, now that's childish.
There was a Bullet bike owned by an associate of my parents in those days. All the kids in our neighborhood enjoyed riding on it, making the sound of the engine by our lips we would simply ride the still machine.One of the most exciting parts of the moment; there were also other motorbikes parked in our neighborhood.
Whenever there was nobody around, i would just take a chance to kick start. it was usually a scooter and i always enjoyed pushing the metal bar of other bikes.

when i was a youth we often talked about the bloody good machine. Well, i don't know what i am scribbling. But i tell you i see freedom on this page. i think i got out of the habit of writing since my high school days.. We should all get into the habit to at least jot down or record our thoughts, a diary may be.   I vaguely remember some poems i wrote, poem i wrote about drooping roses and the first poem which was printed in annual school magazine.And of course my thoughts which my changeable mind kept on changing. There were, there are thoughts. There are few things, be it about my family, about my career, about us, so on, so forth. You know there are certain things we wanna do.  When i was in school i thought of doing, but i thought i will do it when i reach college.....and there were certain that i decided that i will do after graduation, after getting a job,after certain years, not realizing i am growing older everyday....

As i grew up there were so many things that i wanted to do, dreams that i used to dream alone. And now there are dreams that i dream together with my other half. There were moments in my life when i felt that i was like a bird with a broken wing; i got wings but i cant fly. My mind tells me to do this, do that.. but a man cant execute whatever his crazy mind commands. Now i feel that i have the will to do few things i was always afraid to do.  i vaguely remember this line, i saw it some where something like, Do things that you are always afraid to do...   And i thank my other half for this. She is the most wonderful lady i ever came across in my life.
