Bachpan Ke Khel

Kya mast din they woh…woh bholapan…woh shararat…woh masti..woh ladai..jhagda..woh roothna..woh manana!! Those were really awesome days… and then just fast forward some 15 years and then there is nothing…no fun…just work…yikes!!! It’s horrible!! Cant imagine how life can change in just a span of some years…when we are at school, we feel it to be a burden and just wish when will we be independent and once we “ grow-up” we realise, kahaan gaye woh bachpan ke din…the other day, I was discussing with my friends the various games which we used to play…I have just jotted a few of them , which I could re-collect now. The names of these games may vary from region to region, but the game remains the same…so check these out…which ones have you played.. Am sure, you guys weren’t “padhaku keede”…so check these out!!!

1. Chupan chupai aka Hide and Seek aka luka chipi: one is the “denner” and the others hide…the denner needs to find all out and the person whose found the first is the “denner” for the next game!! Me and my friend used to cheat by helping each other by telling where the others were hidden!!
2. Wish-Amrit
3. Lock and Key
4. Chain…long
5. Chain…short
