NenapinangaLadinda...

I remember the poem "Mera naya bachpan" by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan which we did in class 6th...and also again in 9th i guess.
The poet yearns to get back to her innocence of childhood again. To be honest i had not got the funda why poet wants to get back then. I did not really understand my teacher's words as how she too wants to live her childhood again...

I wanted to grow up then so that
> i wont have to give oral exam for every test :P
>no more learning of spellings for dictation.
>need not have to do home work ;P
>need not have to get punished with writing the poem ten times along with x,y,z punishments for talking in the class ;D
> need not have to write copy writing again.
and so on and so forth........... All silly reasons i used to crib at!!

But now i realize what it is to be grown up. The innocence, carefree and stress free life of childhood!! All those memories tantalizingly flash upon my mind. Making me crave for those days again!!


"Baar baar aathi hai mujhko madhur yaad bachpan teri
Gaya le gaya tu jeevan ki sabase mast khushi meri

.....................
.....................

Aaja bachpan ek baar phir de de apani nirmal shaanti
Vyakul vyatha miThane wali vah apani prakruth vishranti

..................... "

I want to get back to those magical days... mesmerizing memories !!
