thought i'd try my hand at hindi poetry for a change :)
kuch purane kisse aksar yaad aa jate hain,
chupke se aaj bhi iss dil ko behlate hain...
woh bachpan mein suni pariyon ki kahani,
sapno ke mahelo ke raja aur rani...
baarish mein kagaz ki kashti banana,
daravne kisso se doston ko darana...
woh nani se chhupkar imli churana,
pakde jaane per unki woh daant khana...
na koi chinta thi na koi fikra,
na pyaar ka 'tension' na mohabbat ka zikra...
apne aap mein kitne mast raha karte the,
sirf ek bhooton ke alawa kisi se nahi darte the...
id, diwali christmas manate the sab ek saath,
ab yaad aati hain bachpan ki har ek woh baat...
na jaane kho gayi hain kahan--woh jadooi umra suhani,
anjaani si iss bheed mein mit gayi woh bachpan ki kahani...
aaj reh gayi hain baaki sirf kuch masoom parchaiyan,
per haule se yunhi muskura deti hain unki halki nishaniyan..
kuch purane kisse aksar yaad aa jate hain,
chupke se aaj bhi iss dil ko behlate hain...
and yet somewhere deep within each one of us, there is that innocent kid---still trying to come to terms with growing up!

i am speechless.this has opened the floodgates to all my childhood memories...
This one is too good, childhoods os gone lost is the dream.........
Kuch beete pal ki yaadein suhani
imli ke bahane nani ki khani
report card aur school ki dress suhani.
bus yaad aggai ajj bachpan ki khanai.
