Secretly beneath the bed... With jam and bread.... On our clay kitchen set... With a crazy mindset! My siblings and me used to play... "House-House" during summer holidays! At times I used to act as best chef! Listen to me..Are you all deaf? Owing the house being the boss Giving orders without a pause... "Come on! Have coffee everyone" Please pass the butter and bun.. You're getting late for the office" It's me speaking to everyone... "Let's run or she will shoot us with a gun"!! Says my siblings in a funny tone! Smiling me..says, "Bye bye everyone"! Then the lunch followed by snacks and evening tea...
Dinner at night with lots of toffees.. Acting so carefree and living in the moment! My favourite place and those funny arguement! At times I used to sit there alone... Become a teacher and erecting my backbone...! Imagining a classroom and so many students.... Asking,"What is meant by the word pollutant?" Assuming that invisible students don't know! Okay so we will learn about it tomorrow!! This is how I used to play beneath the bed... But now if try to sit under the bed It hits my forehead!! Those happy days of childhood!! The craziness and fake food that we cooked! Sadly, I don't fix into the place beneath the bed!! But when I look at my younger siblings... Playing the same game and chilling! I smile and remember those good olden days!
