Solution to My Boredom....

A Day that Reminded Me Of my Childhood.....


It was a cool and cloudy day, the 28th of June 2007. I was enjoying the weather outside as I was lying on my bed and reading the last few pages of the book 'PAPER MONEY' by Ken Follett. As I finished my book, my school friends dropped in.... so the afternoon time was history and easily killed by laughter, fun and jokes made at each other. It reminded me of my school days. Seriously sitting at home yesterday gave me a strong feeling that I missed school days for the first time ever after the Exams got over...That was fun....


So as the evening drew closer, my friends left and I landed up getting damn bored with nothing to do... I don't know why but I wasn't even in the mood to read a book. So I started watching T.V... and as usual there turned out to be nothing in that too. News in NDTV was the same all day around. So I couldn't bring myself to watch all that again.
Ultimately I ended up switching channels between the ongoing Wimbledon a match between Tim Henman and Feliciano Lopez, a five setter and Cartoon Network....


I watched Tom and Jerry.. I guess anybody would adore that cartoon... with it's Animation and the background score for each and every movement that is involved. The Episode consisted of Jerry's cousin coming up to help Jerry out to fight Tom.

Seriously it reminded me of my childhood days when me and my sister used to come back from school in Chennai at about 3:30 in the evening, throw our bags in the side along with our lunch bags and start watching the cartoon shows from about 4:00 till 6:30-7:00 after which we used to remember that we had something to submit the next day in school and that we had hardly even started... [:)]. Mondays was special because my uncle used to come and all three of us used to watch. My Uncle is a unique character. All of you would wonder about the fact that a 25 year old watched Cartoons. He's a cool character in my life. He's the most jovial person I have ever known. He's really funny and he has this loud ' hahaha' laughter which is really cool to hear. Even his 10 month old kid starts to smile seeing him laugh... that's wonderful to watch.


Be it Swat Kats, Ninja Robots, Captain Planet, Popeye Show, Tom and Jerry, Dexter's Laboratory, Scooby Doo Series, Power Puffs or Heidi..... we never used to miss any of them... I miss those days seeing Didi running about here and there ruining her brother's Lab and Dexter running behind her angrily... We even used to see those shows after going to Delhi. Then we had to stop it ultimately when I was in VIII and we instead started watching WWE.. [:D]


Last evening by seeing those shows I was reminded that I missed being a small girl....
I guess once in a while it doesn't hurt even for elderly people to see Cartoons. It gives relaxation to mind especially cartoons like Tom and Jerry. Probably it's a way to take our minds off the tension that persists in today's life.


Today, it helped me overcome my boredom and also reminded me of those unforgettable days in my life...

Back with another post soon... bye...:))
