After more than a decade, I go to Sundervan. Friend's out shopping and I have to while away some time. Pani puri would just take five minutes. On a whim, I decide to go inside the park where my parents took me on innumerable evenings. There's something special about reliving childhood.
You grow old, but age in itself remains constant. The traits of being young and foolish are universal. As I see two-year olds running about without shoes, pinching each other to tears and swinging on swings as if to touch the sky, I know I left nothing behind, everything is the same. May be in the years to come I will live each moment that I lost to the past. May be, some day when I become a mother, I will become a child again. May be...
But for now, there's the heady lure of youth waiting for me. And as this year ends, I promise myself I will stay truthful to my youth.
Let the party begin...

Beautifully written.....age has nothing to do with the child inside us, as we grow old, we tend to forget simple joys of life, but deep inside we know, there is a child hidden somewhere,longing to come out and enjoy life.....
Dreamer, you said it! I wish we were to remember that child in us more often.

Beautiful, lyrical thoughts.
Age is in the mind. If one retains the inner child, life is beautiful.
May you ever be youthful and childlike.
Seasons greetings and best wishes for a happy new year.
