28 Memories Anyone Who Grew Up In India Can't Let Go Of

    Nothing beats a good old desi bachpan.

    1. Remember the times when evenings meant playing a game of "Sakli"?

    2. Or an impromptu session of "Pakda Pakdi"?

    3. Or randomly bursting into "Ringa Ringa Roses?"

    4. Remember when all the "brainiacs" would play this game?

    5. Remember the swad of this candy?

    6. And of the one that helped us ask our crushes out with a subtle, "Do you wanna kismi?"

    7. And the burning question of whether something was dancing on your tongue when you tasted these.

    8. Special mention for Ravalgaon and Pan Pasand. ❤

    9. When Cheetos came with the surprise of Pokémon Tazos.

    10. And photos were immortalised in plastic covered albums.

    11. When this was the real Cartoon Network.

    12. And these heroes were known only as "Badey Meow" and "Chote Meow".

    13. This is how you remember the "Duck Tales" theme song.

    14. When fancy dress competitions meant business.

    15. Like, really serious business.

    16. When summer reading included some or another story from this book.

    17. And the quota for spooky stories was reserved for some R. L. Stine genius.

    18. When swagger looked like this 100-piece colouring box of your dreams.

    19. When making this baby skateboard in a forest was your highest priority.

    20. But not as much as playing Contra.

    21. Or Aladdin.

    22. OK I suppose all our loyalties were a bit split.

    23. But you always had your heart in your mouth during the epic jump in "Prince of Persia".

    24. And when the ground under you almost slipped during this.

    25. Do you ever just wish you could draw a time machine with Sanju's magic pencil?

    26. To go back to live in the good old joyous "fresh and juicy" days?

    27. Chewing some Fusen gum with all the other cool kids.

    28. And enjoying a few years blissfully ignorant of work commutes, taxes, bills, and responsibilities.
