Young. Wild. Free.
These are three luxuries that childhood provided us without any compromises. Unlimited pampering, getting away with mistakes and not having to be responsible were the best parts of being a kid.
Now that we are all grown and have to think about important things like career, love life, getting a job, paying off loans and settling down, childhood feels like another life.
So here are some beautiful sketches that will invoke the childhood nostalgia in you and make you want to flip through the photo album that has been eating dust for many years now.
1. The joy of getting fed by your mom
2. Remember when you fell asleep somewhere and got up somewhere else?
3. Standing on the scooter feeling that you are riding it yourself
4. Spotting a plane simply made our day
5. Makar Sankranti meant seasons of kites, summer vacation meant marbles
6. And those ‘light wale shoes’ were our prized possession
7. That bottle hanging on our neck made us look more wimpy than we were
8. What’s cotton candy? We’d like some buddhi ke baal.
9. Superpowers had no limit once we tied the towel cape around our neck
10. Kissing scenes sure grossed us out
11. Splashing the rainwater and making paper boats
12. Rewards were easy and highly appreciated
13. Getting an injection was the biggest fear in life
14. Bubble gums came with free tattoos that lasted as long as we didn’t take a bath
15. Transparent scales gave us a rainbow whenever we wanted 🙂
16. And we enjoyed eating things that just costed Rs. 5
Wake up the child in you who has been longing to break free!
Happy childhood to you! 🙂
