This is a home for my heart...a distant refuge for my spirit, away from the madding crowd and the masquerades that we live. This is where everything is unveiled and nothing is compromised.
Watercolor memories of a school uniform, a heavy bag and tennis-shoes...reminiscences of bus rides full of chatter and giggles...fading aroma of home-made lemon-cake and strawberry ice cream...distant sounds of splashes in the pool and screams of jolly times...fond recollections of daddy coming home with Christmas presents...a black and white slide-show of dancing stupid to Locomotion...heart-warming memoirs of cousins coming over for holidays...far-away blazes of collecting sea shells in the beach...graying flashes of taking puppy Ginger to the vet...blurred snapshots of 12hr train rides to Granma's place...flickering flashbacks of running around her backyard and throwing stones at juicy mangoes...a soothing re-capture of bathing from a natural well, full of pure and cool water...vague sparks of walking down to the little stream to watch the fishes...evoked instances of catching little red birds and chasing after yellow butterflies...a fading picture of drinking Granma's medicine and fainting creating panic...unclear visions of playing crazy in the paddy fields so green...far-away memories of Granma's smiles that filled my senses...slowly dissolving flashes of playing hopscotch and getting angry with friends...funny memoirs of getting together the next day and climbing trees...happy recollections of buying new books and shoes for a new term of school, feeling so excited...a dimming flicker of losing a tooth and throwing it to the fairy...an old photo beaming toothless in a heavily-frilled dress...a distant flicker of a bunny-shaped birthday cake with pink wiggly candles...faded and stained photographs of people that used to be...of smiles worth more than the world...of pets that filled my lonely days...of moments that will never be again...of emotions that can never be replaced...of places I long to go back to but most likely wont...of times that I can recall but will never be able to live back in..of those precious flashes from the past so dear to my heart...now they remain in the priceless album called my Memory...so do you remember?
Hey Keshi, Look what uv done-Uv got me all nostalgic about EVERY childhood memory! Some of my grt memories of my childhood are with my grandfather..
May I add..Fighting with grandpa while playing cards, looking forward to candies EVREYDAY from grandpa dear and of course, listening to all those "made up" stores of his life just to keep me glued to him!:-) excellent post and grt read to start another workk day!
memories are what make us, us. i always thought that one of the horrible things about death is that memories of people will be lost forever when they die. as 'batty' in film 'blade runner' says when one dies, All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
as long as one's memory (not to be confused with others' memory about oneself) lasts, one lives.
Memory has a beautiful way of painting our past in the most beautiful colors. But even those memories that are not so pretty make us who we are and should be cherished.
uve got some real sweet memories thr ,keshi...:) Memories are i guess one of the very few things in life wch remain wth us forever...n as long as they r wth us we can never feel alone...yeah! they do leave us misty eyed but thn those "nostalgic moments" always manage to get tht smile on our face *ahem!..im not gloatin bout my blog here..heehee (wch isalso by the way called --nostalgic moments , if u remember..heehee* butjokes apart, our memories hav always been our prized possesion ..no wonder we cling on to thm never wanna let go...:) cheers to all the great times of the past hope we hav many such great memories ahead :) keep rockin
Hey, very nice post.. yeah everyone remebers their childhood..!! its the most precious time when anyone might have enjoyed to the fullest without any sort of worry... innocense and fun..!! Life is just a joy then..!! I remember my childhood.. running in paddy fields, catching scavener fishes.. swimming in wells.. climbing trees.. and what not..!!
ur post is like a painting... i saw it all while reading it ... u made me very nostalgic !! i believe ur still a child inside and pls dont let her grow old and complicated. man!! how much i luv reading ur posts !!
beautiful moments to grasp those little footprints tat left a mark.Who can ever forget the moments when something wonderful capture that little hearts of ours.
unlike everyone who has commented here, i dun such great memories of my childhood:(...i was never allowed to play outside and afternoon time was strictly for napping!! playin in mud was a strict no-no!!my childhood memeories are very blurred, i dun remember much except that i was a nerd(which i ain't now!! unfortunately:))...i would come home from school and do my homework and then watch disney hour and study some more, have dinner and sleep. in holidays reading books and painting was all i did!!!gosh!! i had some boring childhood!!!also as i had no grandparents...and mom-dad being busy...i never had the chance to run in paddy fields..i miss doin tht!!
but thnx for writing this post:)even tho i dun have such memories,i lived urs thru this post, if atleast for soemtime:) happy holi!!!!
During my early school days when i was kid, i wanted to feel like a grown up and didn't liked any one coming to pick-me up from the bus stop till home. So I used to get angry on anyone coming to pick me up saying that I am big now and I can reach home alone on my own. Its funny to remember my such behaviour :).

Hey, Grt topic and lovely post! Some of the really sweet memories I have are those of our summer vacations in Ahmedabad at my aunt's place and all the fights with my bro!
And of course my hostel days and all the growing up there!
Memories.. aah. Even today I spend hours looking at those photographs.. those smiles. those lovely days. It's all changed today. Only some stay, many move on.
*** of moments that will never be again...of emotions that can never be replaced...of places I long to go back to but most likely wont...of times that I can recall but will never be able to live back in
Now I know why you loved the last line of "A Passing Glimpse" poem...=)
reading your post, i remember my childhood days, where i bath in the lake, and fall on the dirty soil in the field... memories never dies, it's the biggest gift for us. Thanks for sharing.:)
That was beautiful.. I remember all my visits to Kerala..looking at the stars at night when the current goes..playing with mud near a small stream..chattering on while having food..watching the newly born calf..:)
Oh gosh dear....!!! in my hindi blog this is what I talk about....childhood days....those cute memories...which are only cherrished and it always makes one happy at the same time a bit of sadness...which shows we miss those days very badly....I hate growing old since I was 16 :)...as I realized tht time I cant go back to 10 :).....we all wish isnt that ...to go back to old days .....awesome post dear...u just brought back all my memories as I was reading through each line in this post of urs...
That's a great post!! So nicely written..seriously that brought back a lot of memories to my mind!! Memories are simply vital. In times of need, it is memories of happier times that keep you going. Memories make you smile, they make you cry. Memories are an invaluable treasure, that every person has!! Great post..:-)
once, my mom asked to bring a "glass of water" to her... as i broked it while i was carrying it, she was so tensed and started to beat me, and i said " iam very small boy, how can u ask me to bring this??"... my innocence made her laugh...
aww what a beautiful line :-) yes it was in the film blade runner as i said before.
wut abt writing down some of ur memories from the past...?? well i will have to think about that, my memories are not exactly creditable to me or some ppl i know though they are not bad and i wont give them up for anything .:-)
anyway my earliest memory was about a bird who built a nest in front of our house, must have been 3 years old at most.
aww u must have been a sweet lil girl dancing all the time ha? :)

**you came to my site and wrote i am asex addict-not true-i hardly have any sex so ther eyou go-
I came to ur site n said that cos each time I come to ur site, ur post is abt some s#xual act...isnt that clear u need help? maybe ur addicted to s#x...check my previous post!
**i am married to a woman like you who is not to keen on sex
how d u even suggest ur wife is a woman like me? U dun even know me! I could be better or even worse :) The fact that I pointed out u may have an addiction problem doesnt suggest what sort of woman I am. However ur constant cribbing abt s#x suggest what sort of person u r - u seriously need help. That's all I was trying to say. Besides, dun give so much imp to s#x, s#x n s#x...it's not THE be-all-and-end-all of life - seriously u got to be smart to realise this!

My earliest memory may be when I was about 3 and I hit my mum with a pera gediya (guava fruit). what? i must see this to believe. can you play it back :-)
** must see this to believe. can you play it back :-)
lol ok...well I was very small then...where we lived back then, there was a huge backyard full of Pera trees...I used to roam ard there eating Pera...lol...then one day I heard Amma calling me...I was angry cos I wanted to stay in there...among the trees...so I tried to hide behind a tree...too bad I was too big for that skinny tree to hide me, Amma saw me...then I was walking towards her in frustration with a Pera fruit in my hands...she told me to come in straight away...I was so stubborn I threw the fruit on her face...I still rem that and I must have been abt 3-4yrs...my mum's lip got hurt...I rem that too...I was so sad after that I cried for hours for hurting her...I dun think I ever did anything like that again!
hey Keshi girl ........ so how are things going!!! well if not for memories of the past and the hope for a bright future our present would have been screwed up for sure.....
I wonder if age affects the way we look back at all the memories. Would they still be beautiful and bring sweetness to our hearts, or will we be sad and can't bear to part with any of them?
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a valuable comment.
You have preserved your memories so well and you put them in beautiful versus. Your post has kindled my childhood memories that are so near to my heart.
yes i remember..and .thanks to u for reminding me.... a new pink frock on my b'day...grandma's soft hands...climbing trees....dancing in the rain...playing in the sun all day long...eating food in school...fighting for chocolates....watchimg TV at night without mum's permission....hiding from dad...eating my sis's share of choc's....any many more...
THANKS Keshi....for making me smile today.... god bless u
Nostalgic feelings!! Very much the same in my case.. as for the school bus rides, the chatter in the bus, we even had our bus driver race other buses, somehow used to love the early morning ride to school.. fresh breeze blowing across face.. at 730am.. hm.. and even in college, we had buses and tht was at 7 am!! still.. early morninmg silence as the bus zooms past.. hmm
though im not too old ...just 21 ;)...but still tht childhood, tht care free attitude seems so distant....
when i was a child, i wanted to grow up n now i wanna go back there...hmmm
but you see i was gud boy...never hit my mom...only my elder sis ;)...hehe..n now i laugh thinkin of my stupidity for d reasons i gave to mom of fighting wid her ..:)
P.S. ur sweet request couldnt have been ignored :)

**Those who don't live in the country side think that the steak they find in the supermarket was borne like that...
thats doing injustice to childhood! Well I guess u n I r lucky that we had some country exp when we were kids...amazing how some kids these days dun even know what a real pig looks like except for the ham on their bread!

**P.S. ur sweet request couldnt have been ignored :)
i just recalled some pleasant memories and some very embarassing
long walks on the beach wid my pals long hikes overnight in the woods eerie ghost stories told by costy when it was raining heavily at night, thunder lightning, the works
camping on the beach and waking up to hott cofee brewed by keith on a wood fire
pithaly proving his man hood to meena, hehehe
all of a sudden breathing deep to put my chest out and tummy in
nope...I havent seen the Kiera Knighlty version yet...but I soooo wanna see it, especially now after what u just said abt it :) Will be seeing it soon...thanks!
You are such a sweetheart... I watched it 3 times this week... you are going to cry in the 2nd to last scene... I'm not going to admit it.. not here.. but you can guess... ;) JD
"goshhh so u were a lil annoying bro who found great pleasure in hitting his sis..lol so sweet!" ........wht r sis n bro if they dont fight like mad. sometimes i used to hit her hard...n sometimes she used to slap me smack on my cheek ..lol but now we both miss those days n tht fun... n yeh fights too :)

Awww....this ws sooo well written...and u got me all nostalgic... In my last post too i've written abt how sumtimes v wanna go back to those 'innocent' days... :) Seems u too had a lot of fun as a kid!
Oh honey...u evoke ma memories of childhood..... It’s the best part of life...where bitterness counted as sweetness....where everything goes right even the mistake.....where tension has nothing do with u.....where ur lively smile tends to cut off other depression and ur tears speaks out everything....

Music seems to adore me as it keeps reaching my ears...guitars and cars...friends I cannot be without...poems, life, ocean, people...these are some things I simply love. This is my personal e-diary...if anything I blurt out here hurts anyone, my sincere apologies in advance. What I write here are my deepest thoughts that I hardly discuss with people close to me in real. These are my conversations with my mind and the walls who sometimes have better listening powers than humans. But ofcourse I value everyone's views and I intend to grow from them, so you're most welcome to express yourselves here.
Life is too short so I try to 'live' longer every day...and yes one day at a time.
Knowledge is power hence people have been the source of that power in me...I thank them always.
Watercolor memories of a school uniform, a heavy bag and tennis-shoes...reminiscences of bus rides full of chatter and giggles...fading aroma of home-made lemon-cake and strawberry ice cream...distant sounds of splashes in the pool and screams of jolly times...fond recollections of daddy coming home with Christmas presents...a black and white slide-show of dancing stupid to Locomotion...heart-warming memoirs of cousins coming over for holidays...far-away blazes of collecting sea shells in the beach...graying flashes of taking puppy Ginger to the vet...blurred snapshots of 12hr train rides to Granma's place...flickering flashbacks of running around her backyard and throwing stones at juicy mangoes...a soothing re-capture of bathing from a natural well, full of pure and cool water...vague sparks of walking down to the little stream to watch the fishes...evoked instances of catching little red birds and chasing after yellow butterflies...a fading picture of drinking Granma's medicine and fainting creating panic...unclear visions of playing crazy in the paddy fields so green...far-away memories of Granma's smiles that filled my senses...slowly dissolving flashes of playing hopscotch and getting angry with friends...funny memoirs of getting together the next day and climbing trees...happy recollections of buying new books and 
shoes for a new term of school, feeling so excited...a dimming flicker of losing a tooth and throwing it to the fairy...an old photo beaming toothless in a heavily-frilled dress...a distant flicker of a bunny-shaped birthday cake with pink wiggly candles...faded and stained photographs of people that used to be...of smiles worth more than the world...of pets that filled my lonely days...of moments that will never be again...of emotions that can never be replaced...of places I long to go back to but most likely wont...of times that I can recall but will never be able to live back in..of those precious flashes from the past so dear to my heart...now they remain in the priceless album called my Memory...so do you remember?

Nostalgic eh?
Everyone has sweet memories like you do ... very nicely put :)
Hey Keshi,
Look what uv done-Uv got me all nostalgic about EVERY childhood memory!
Some of my grt memories of my childhood are with my grandfather..
May I add..Fighting with grandpa while playing cards, looking forward to candies EVREYDAY from grandpa dear and of course, listening to all those "made up" stores of his life just to keep me glued to him!:-)
excellent post and grt read to start another workk day!
beautiful post.
memories are what make us, us.
i always thought that one of the horrible things about death is that memories of people will be lost forever when they die.
as 'batty' in film 'blade runner' says when one dies,
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
as long as one's memory (not to be confused with others' memory about oneself) lasts, one lives.
Memory has a beautiful way of painting our past in the most beautiful colors. But even those memories that are not so pretty make us who we are and should be cherished.
You have such a big fan-following... I love, love, love your thoughts... great stuff!

unlike everyone who has commented here, i dun such great memories of my childhood:(...i was never allowed to play outside and afternoon time was strictly for napping!! playin in mud was a strict no-no!!my childhood memeories are very blurred, i dun remember much except that i was a nerd(which i ain't now!! unfortunately:))...i would come home from school and do my homework and then watch disney hour and study some more, have dinner and sleep. in holidays reading books and painting was all i did!!!gosh!! i had some boring childhood!!!also as i had no grandparents...and mom-dad being busy...i never had the chance to run in paddy fields..i miss doin tht!!
but thnx for writing this post:)even tho i dun have such memories,i lived urs thru this post, if atleast for soemtime:)
happy holi!!!!

beautifully written :D
During my early school days when i was kid, i wanted to feel like a grown up and didn't liked any one coming to pick-me up from the bus stop till home. So I used to get angry on anyone coming to pick me up saying that I am big now and I can reach home alone on my own. Its funny to remember my such behaviour :).

Hey,
Grt topic and lovely post!
Some of the really sweet memories I have are those of our summer vacations in Ahmedabad at my aunt's place and all the fights with my bro!
And of course my hostel days and all the growing up there!
i often sitting in the boat, with my dad, embraced by his smile. fills my heart with love.
Sweet Memories, Keshi!!* smiles*!
Memories.. aah.
Even today I spend hours looking at those photographs.. those smiles. those lovely days. It's all changed today. Only some stay, many move on.
*** of moments that will never be again...of emotions that can never be replaced...of places I long to go back to but most likely wont...of times that I can recall but will never be able to live back in
Now I know why you loved the last line of "A Passing Glimpse" poem...=)
my childhood SUXS
i had no pocket money
i didnt even have pockets
my childhood SUXS
my friends had beautiful homes
2 cars in the garage

Lovely nostalgic post! You somehow dive down to varied depths and present it all... Amazing and im feelin so nostalgic already!

childhood memories are always special...
for one,
once, my mom asked to bring a "glass of water" to her... as i broked it while i was carrying it, she was so tensed and started to beat me, and i said " iam very small boy, how can u ask me to bring this??"... my innocence made her laugh...
lots of memories and lots of fun...

Hmmm...getting nostalgic...

hello Master!
**you came to my site and wrote i am asex addict-not true-i hardly have any sex so ther eyou go-
I came to ur site n said that cos each time I come to ur site, ur post is abt some s#xual act...isnt that clear u need help? maybe ur addicted to s#x...check my previous post!
**i am married to a woman like you who is not to keen on sex
how d u even suggest ur wife is a woman like me? U dun even know me! I could be better or even worse :) The fact that I pointed out u may have an addiction problem doesnt suggest what sort of woman I am. However ur constant cribbing abt s#x suggest what sort of person u r - u seriously need help. That's all I was trying to say. Besides, dun give so much imp to s#x, s#x n s#x...it's not THE be-all-and-end-all of life - seriously u got to be smart to realise this!

**my memories are not exactly creditable to me or some ppl i know though they are not bad and i wont give them up for anything
not creditable to u? cant be....
**anyway my earliest memory was about a bird who built a nest in front of our house, must have been 3 years old at most.
aww so sweet n u rem that still? WOW! My earliest memory may be when I was about 3 and I hit my mum with a pera gediya (guava fruit)..:):)
Keshi.
my best memory of childhood is when it was over
and i started earning my own money
and when we sold our house in juhu
and i gott 10,000/- earnest money in cash
i blew it all up in 7 days flat
10,000/- was beeg money those days
it went into Wine, Woomen and Wong
i wanted a taste of how the rich lived
now i dont care too much for money
My earliest memory may be when I was about 3 and I hit my mum with a pera gediya (guava fruit).
what? i must see this to believe. can you play it back :-)
~~Saby
**my best memory of childhood is when it was over
thats sad...r u saying u hated ur childhood?
~~Sittingnut
** must see this to believe. can you play it back :-)
lol ok...well I was very small then...where we lived back then, there was a huge backyard full of Pera trees...I used to roam ard there eating Pera...lol...then one day I heard Amma calling me...I was angry cos I wanted to stay in there...among the trees...so I tried to hide behind a tree...too bad I was too big for that skinny tree to hide me, Amma saw me...then I was walking towards her in frustration with a Pera fruit in my hands...she told me to come in straight away...I was so stubborn I threw the fruit on her face...I still rem that and I must have been abt 3-4yrs...my mum's lip got hurt...I rem that too...I was so sad after that I cried for hours for hurting her...I dun think I ever did anything like that again!
Keshi.

I wonder if age affects the way we look back at all the memories. Would they still be beautiful and bring sweetness to our hearts, or will we be sad and can't bear to part with any of them?
Hello Keshi,
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a valuable comment.
You have preserved your memories so well and you put them in beautiful versus.
Your post has kindled my childhood memories that are so near to my heart.
I cherished my memories once again.
That was so beautifuly put!

THANKS Keshi....for making me smile today....
god bless u
Nostalgic feelings!! Very much the same in my case.. as for the school bus rides, the chatter in the bus, we even had our bus driver race other buses, somehow used to love the early morning ride to school.. fresh breeze blowing across face.. at 730am.. hm.. and even in college, we had buses and tht was at 7 am!! still.. early morninmg silence as the bus zooms past.. hmm
Makes me long for a time when life was so much simpler...when I could just be a child. No concept of time, and all the days ran into each other.
memories....sure i have truck loads of dem :)
though im not too old ...just 21 ;)...but still tht childhood, tht care free attitude seems so distant....
when i was a child, i wanted to grow up
n now i wanna go back there...hmmm
but you see i was gud boy...never hit my mom...only my elder sis ;)...hehe..n now i laugh thinkin of my stupidity for d reasons i gave to mom of fighting wid her ..:)

My dear girl, you almost made me cry with that post. How nostalgic! Now I want to be a kid again. *sob sob*
I almost forgot that memories grow more after each year. Just hope that the nicer memories are not clouded by the bad ones... and I don't mind forgetting the bad ones. Ha ha... ;)

Oh honey...u evoke ma memories of childhood.....
It’s the best part of life...where bitterness counted as sweetness....where everything goes right even the mistake.....where tension has nothing do with u.....where ur lively smile tends to cut off other depression and ur tears speaks out everything....

Keshi,
This is a beautifully written post. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :-)
I too often find myself drinking myself drunk on the fine spirit we call nostalgia. :-)
