The Childhood Approximation

"How I wish I was a child again". "I wish I got my childhood back". "Oh, this cartoon so much remidns me of my childhood". Three common phrases that I commonly see these days on the wall of my friends' social network pages. It got me thinking, why haven't I even thought in these same lines?

Then, one day while I was generally talking to a friend on football and cartoons, she gave a laugh. I was like "what"? She replied "there are some people in this world who will never change and you belong there". I was like "I dont get it!". "Very few people can still maintain that little boy inside them even when they are physically 6 foot tall with side burns, mushtache and beard".

It then hit me. I am still a little boy. I hate my class assignments and homework. I love dinosaurs and Jurassic park till date. T-rex was my favorite in 2nd grade and it is still my favorite as of today. I love watching cartoons even today (as a matter of fact Batman>>Superman any day). I have all my favorite cartoons stacked up in my HD. Football and Cricket are ways of life for me (well, there are a lot of grown ups also who follow, but unlike them, I still follow these games with the same enthu with which I first began watching them.. fighting for clubs with rival fans and hoping your rivals drop points week in week out). I dont like to boast about a great corporate career (I doubt I'll have one either) or an office with so much work. I dont like to deceive to flatter on being busy at work in a gruesome schedule. Monday mornings mean nothing to me. Big bucks have never excited me as much as a champions league final has. I still love making fun of my friends. I enjoy talking the same way I always have with no holds barred in my heart. Come to think of it, I think I am still that little boy unless someone has an alternate explanation. I doubt I'll come out of that little boy even when I'm say 745 years old (yes it is 745 and not a typo error). I wouldn't personally want to.

P.S: Did I tell you that my latest hobby is to write children stories with pictures? My first two stories were reasonable.

P.P.S: Hell yes, my drawing still sucks like how it was when I was 6 years old. Cats are dogs, dogs are donkeys, donkeys are lions and the lions I draw look like me. It also hasn't changed.. Sigh.. Perhaps thats what is making my stories readable with the two kids who read it so far :P
