The Glorious Kiddo Days :D

With children’s day just over, I was suddenly left thinking about my childhood (I always did of that glorious time, but now like actually thinking :D ).I miss doing a lot of things I once did like playing pranks, the street games, silly fights, carefree lazy times ,sibling war for trivial things and so on.So I thought I will list down few of my favorite memories of my childhood and I am sure you and I might have few similar cherished memories J and here goes the list :

1.       Trolley racing in the super market  -  This was one thing I looked forward the entire time we went shopping for monthly supplies. I would take my prized responsibility of being the trolley cart pusher ( I really considered it my Batcycle  J ) and would  just keep whirring away.(I have hit a fair share of shoppers and had my sudden breaks but all of it added to the fun :D)

2.       Funny email id – Yeah most of us had a mail id which looks funny or idiotic now when you think of it. I am not going to tell you what mine was let’s just say it has a wannabe tone to it :P and the most common adjectives we used in those mail ids were cool, crazy, princess, rulez, rockz ,shining what not :P Hilarious right ?!

3.       I played real games – Yeah we had actually running competitions instead of playing temple run(no offence, I play temple run too :P ) then street cricket, football ,hide and seek (all of which were specifically played in the corridors of my building much to the  annoyance of  our fellow residents and security guards :D)  

4.       Happiness of reading a letter –Yes, email was almost getting popular in my childhood but I had wonderful friends who wrote me long 3 to 4 page letters (fully handwritten with stickers and other artistic designs on them :D).Those letters always had a full summary of the recent happenings in my friends life with pictures as well. I still remember the happiness I used to feel when my dad hands me these envelopes and the joy of reading them.

5.       Boy cut –I loved my hair that way and had that hairstyle till I was in 6^th  grade, I guess  J .The best part about it was it couldn't get messy and I didn't have to worry about drying it or even combing it ,I just had to shuffle it carelessly with my fingers and I would look presentable in a minute! J(ominous smile )

6.     Treated special – Who wouldn't like being treated special ;) ?! And I was lot many times. Being the younger sibling I got extra helpings of tasty sweets and dishes made at home ( I got vegetables and things I didn't like too ,but that’s not the focus here :D ).My grandparents always supported me in my silly whims and I even got away with extra time to watch TV or play in the computer :D.

Yeah there’s actually lot more,but these stood out in my mind and are fond memories that I associate with my childhood.I am sure all of us have such treasured memories and  must be having something similar like mine do share them here. These childhood experiences mold us knowingly or unknowingly like how the flow of water creates impressions on the earth.These leave lasting impacts on us.Now I may sound like a person who is obsessed with smiling (sounds freaky rite?) , still  I would like to add that people smile back spontaneously to kids with grins on their faces  ( Experience speaks .One of my sister’s biggest concern  is that I smile constantly at most people around me *sigh*she told me such scary stories to refrain me from smiling :D it just made me smile more and test those stories ;) )  .

So till my next post all of you out there , keep smiling and celebrate being a kid at heart  J . Cheers J

Why so serious? Smileee :)

As I have already told you guys, smiling is something I do all the time so I thought it will be ideal to write something about it J .All of us smile at various instances when meeting a friend, at a joke, a status, a memory and so on. But the sad fact is that there are various reasons for people not to effortlessly smile ( that’s an observation after noticing that people love keeping a glum face and strain their facial muscles ,when they can actually relax and help themselves with a smile J ).

So I came to notice that we have different kinds of smiles (not the obvious , duh !) like I’l tell you a few that I noticed:

1) Friendly glee – This one all of us do. Yeah the same one you give me when you see me  (I believe: P).This shows our happiness at seeing someone familiar.

2) Sheepish smile –This is familiar as well .The one convincing smile we use to touch a chord in the hearts of our staff ( reasons vary- like for attendance, extra marks etc ).

3) Family smile -  I usually use this to all my unknown aunties who have cradled and adored me when I was 9 months!*sigh* and they tell that to me when I’m 20 years ,how do they expect me to remember them when I haven’t met them for the past 19 years K .You can use it to uncles too or any other relative whom you have no clue about but looks and behaves like he’s very important and a close relative :D

4)Confident smile – This is the reassuring smile you give your friend before they go for an interview or the smile you and your friends give each other after you settle in the exam hall.Its just a means to soothe your nerves (Trust me it helps J)

5)Ominous smile –This is the smile I would call the evil one.You flash this smile when you have successfully orchestrated your prank or any “evil” act ( evil here is acts of the like of taking a bigger share of chocolate than your sibling nothing cruel J)  

So, there are many more actually but I have broadly classified it among these 5(Sheesh,that sounds like a line out of an engineering textbook :P ).Dear readers so don’t wait for any of these circumstances to arise to flash a smile.Smile at a differently able person on the road, an old lady or even a rag picker they will definitely smile back at you .And scientific research tells us that smiling is easier than frowning as well as it boosts your health and mood.Finally its been proved to increase your chances of getting promoted :D I guess I have given you enough and more reasons to smile! So what you waiting for ? Lets spread smiles.Yes its contagious J .

Till my next post ,here’s me signing off with a lot of happy smiles (definitely ,the friendly glee J ).

A Big Helloo :)

This first post in my blog has been something I have recreated and formulated lot of times and here I am finally doing it :).
So finally I have decided to keep it simple and basic.
                     Firstly, a big Hello dear reader :) (with a wide smile ,that's something I always do)
It would be unfair if I expect you to read my blog when I don't even tell you a little about me.So here it goes, I'm Jiju  ( For those who are intrigued,laughing or wondering what kinda name  it is  -I know its means bro-in law in Hindi and rhythm and good luck in Afrikaans  (read that somewhere) ) and basically I like my name(who doesn't) and I didn't really have a choice when my  naming ceremony happened whether I want to change my name or see the other options available, for reasons you guys must be knowing ( since when did a crying puny baby ever have naming rights? :P).

I have always been interested in writing,reading,poetry,current affairs,quizzing,debating,sports,nature and a lot many things.Yeah I have diverse interests.I am  chirpy,enthusiastic person, more of a happy go lucky person  who is fascinated by environment,life,people,culture,history,science and pretty much everything and love looking at it in my own way.
You would find me reading a book on a weekend, then volunteering for a cause the next day ,then taking some time out and enjoying a beautiful walk on the beach the next day and  yeah finding time to study ( How conveniently we forget it right ? ;) ) That's me for you .Always up to something :) and up for anything I like :).

And I will be writing about almost anything and everything that I find interesting and am sure my dear readers would too.  Like the recent Mars mission by India or women empowerment or college life or love or freedom and so on (that was just a trailer of what is to come ;) )

So guys do read and gimme your feedback if you contradict,agree or have a completely new perspective to my views :)
                                                       Cheers and happy reading !
P.S: Can't wait to start writing :D .
