SEVEN Childhood Crushes......................................................

“Ringa Ringa Roses Pocket full of Poses Husha! Busha! We all fall down!

Am sure most of us have played this rhyme countless time during childhood. We have so many foolish childhood memories hidden somewhere back in our minds. And watching your own kids going through the same stage doing the same crazy innocent things must have taken you to your own infancy period. There has been a fast change since then. Games, stories, rhymes, comics, cartoons, everything has been altered in accord with child’s psychology. Irrefutably certain changes are absolutely wonderful for growing kids but still I find my childhood had been much simpler & more constructive. These days’ children prefer indoor games over playing in the greens. I remember I hated leaving my friends in the evening due to my mum’s endless calling & bickering.

Like my father, my mother was very strict & disciplined when it comes to our studies. Time slots had been assigned for our every activity. After school we were only allowed to watch cartoons for an hour and twice a day on Sundays. God how I detested it. I had my share of cartoon crushes. Some were my idols & friends in my dream world. My love for cartoons has still not vanished with time. They are my stress busters and helps me in uplifted my mood after a dark day.

Let us go down the memory lane and revisit our childhood obsessions…………………………..............

TOM & JERRY-They are the most classic cartoon characters. I love the rivalry & all the comedic fights between the two iconic characters Tom the Cat & Jerry the mouse. With their crazy chase and funny frying-pan fights, Tom and Jerry have been making us giggles for as long as I remember.

JUNGLE BOOK-“Jungle jungle baat chali hai ,pata chala hai, aree chadi pehenkar fhul khila hai fhul khila hai”.I am feeling so nostalgic by just writing & humming these lines. Mogli, baghira , bhaloo the fantastic three  with honesty and intelligent traits. I loved how every story ends with a moral lesson. A must watch for children!!!

HE-MAN – He-Man and the masters of the universe. I was blindly in love with this character. Though at that time I was very small & hardly understood the story. But still for the love of the man, I use to watch it without blinking.

 DUCK TALES- The first ever Disney cartoon.Adventures of Uncle Scrooge and his three cute ducklings. And the best part is Uncle Donald’s nasal voice. Hilarious aren’t they?

 PANCHTANTRA-How many of you remember the story of tortoise & geese. There are more then 100 stories in panchtantra with a moral ending. And I want my children to read these beautiful stories in future.

POPEYE- Popeye and his family & look alike nephews Peepeye, Pupeye, Pipeye Poopeye. He was one of my childhood crush & now by taking inspiration from him married a sailor. And so I call my hubby Popeye………:)

 

PINGU- And the last but the cutest of all Is Pingu. Pingu & Pinga in there lovely igloo. He is the reason why am obsessed with penguins. My car key ring, soft toy, curtain holder has a penguin image. Funny!!

I can see smile on your faces!! I wish they should telecast them again so that I can understand these cartoons better and laugh my guts –out.I would love to hear about your favorite cartoons.

SEVEN – faces of Me

Encouraged by one of my blogger friend, I am here to embark on my first ever writing challenge. The write tribe is yet again came-up with “Festival of words” blog marathon. Though it’s only for “Seven” days (from 1^st Sep-7^th Sep) but I look forward to write, read & meet some like-minded people during the small voyage. Write- Tribe

Let’s start with my own self. It surely will give an insight aspect of ME.

I am a …………………………………………………………………………..

Ø      NOMAD – Traveling has become a vital part of my life. Being a sailor’s wife, I spend more then half a year wandering around the world. Explored many beautiful countries & places and discovered the beauty of diverse cultures, ethnicity, weather, people, food, which you only had read in your geography books.

Ø      DESIGNER-Before my nomadic life, I was a profession designer (Ex-Nift) .Still whenever I get an opportunity, love taking-up freelance work. From decking up my house to food to clothes, you will discover sprinkles of my creative life.

Ø      FITNESS FREAK – Though am foodie to the hilt, my addiction to work-outs is boundless. Gym is almost my second home. I loved being in shape fit & healthy but size-zero trend surly boggles me.

Ø      SHOOTER – Yes that tells my fitness syndrome. I took up shooting by chance in my 12^th standard & still participate in numerous championships. Though its hobby now due to lack of time, still the worship of passion jogs in my blood.

Ø      SHOPAHOLIC – One big spendthrift, suffering from compulsive buying disorder. From clothes to shoes to bags, I just love shopping .Well who does not?? If you do not find me home, please check the clothing joints. God helps my husband who suffers the aftermaths of my binge buyings.

Ø      READER – Reading is my passion & collecting them is part of my OCD trouble. I hate lending books to my friends and gets irritated if someone disorders my bookshelf. Fiction, Non-fiction, contemporary, romance, biographies, I can gorge on anything.

Ø      WRITER – I have recently entered the world of penmanship. I know am novice but unless you take that first step, how will you finish the line. My reading habit has leaded me to discover the beauty of writing. The sole reason behind this challenge is to polish my writing skills and to spread my horizon.

 Hope I keep my words for long & continue this challenge without hiccups..See you Tomorrow
