Aaah those were the days...
Very careless, not much to think about, not much to worry about, childhood is truely agift from God.
I still remember, how happy i was to purchase a Sega Consolve Game. One of my friendalready had it. Actually, before purchasing my own Sega Consolve, i had played thegame at his house. I was totally amused by it. And really wanted that game badly. Andfinally after a lot of requests to my mom and dad, they finally purchased the game for me.
On a very fine sunday, i purchased the game. I couldnt wait to tell my friend Ahsan(one that already had that game) about the game. Next day at School, i told him, during recess time. He was very happy to hear about it. Soon we started to play the game together. He used to come at my home and sometimes i used to go at his.
The first disk, that i purchased for Sega was Street Fighters. And man, was it cool!!! It was totally amazing!! I was a great fan of the game, even before i purchased its disk. I used to play it on local video games shops. Though my parents were against it. Because, theyknew that spoiled kids come at games shops, they fight and use slangs. And obviously my parents didnt want me to be a spoiled kid. But i was too obssessed to the games, and used to go to gamesshops, without their knowledge. I know its wrong, but to be honest at that time, i didnt realisewhy my parents didnt allow me to go to Video Games Shop. They were just against it, thats alli knew. If for example, some one would have asked me at that time why my parents didnt allow me to go the Games Shop, the answer from my side would had been nothing. My mind never had thought about it that time.
And now at home, i was addicted to that game. I used to play the game quite often, in differentparts of the day. Which i think, could easily make 6-8 hours of gaming. My favorite playerwas Ken. I love all of his stylish moves, specially the one in which, he used to jump in theair, and giving a very solid punch. Though at times, it was very hard to do, but i eventually learned it. And then used to do it quite often.The game, that me and my friend used to play, at home was Ninja Turtles. It was a great game,as already i used to watch its cartoon show on tv. So i loved the game too. My friend wasvery good at it. There was scoring indicator which used to show, that how many enemies u havekilled. My friend was very good at the game, he used to kill about 100-150 in single round,where i could harldy kill 40-50. It was very fun, not even we were doing team work, we even had competition with each other.
Though like any other kid i was also careless and having fun with life. But at the same time,i was very good at studies. I was one of the most hardworking students in my Class. As my parents were very serious about my studies. So they alwasy forced to me to do more writting and reading, than playing games or wasting my time in other activities. It was during sixthclass that i faced very much problems, in English. Becuase I had just moved to a New PrivateSchool. As before that i was in [Not English Medium] School. So Suddenly getting shifted tohighly English medium School was something really challenging for me. But thanks to my Dad, I not only started learning English quickly but at the same time it became my most favoritesubject. Which obviously doubled my progress. I used to Read English story book, which i reallyloved. I even started going to the Library, i was totally amused by the story books there. Mydad used to drop me at the Library in the morning, and after lunch time he used to pick me up.
I used to be a very shy kid. I didnt used to talk much and was very much scared of strangers.Even in class I didnt used to ask questions or communicate with the Teacher. Though i wasvery good at studies. But i didnt have courage, to speak up in front of everyone.And i was also a very innocent and simple child. Once i remember my mom sent me to buy vegetables. I went to the vegetable shop, and told him to give me half a kilo gram of a particular vegetable[i dont remember which vegetable it was..heheh]. And he started putting the vegetables, in theshopper plastic, i suddenly stoped him and said, ok ok thats enough. Though it wasnt a halfa kilo gram. But i thought he was giving me more for free. So i gave him of a half a kiloscost, while having less than half a kilo of vegetable in the shopper. hehehe stupid me!
One of another funny event i remember, happend while we were gone to our relatives' place.They live in another city. We go there when we have our vacations, usually in June July.Ok it was like this, Me and my Maternal Uncle, were sitting outside the house. I saw twopolice officers going on the road, that was just in front of us. As they passed us, I for no reason called out "Police!". One of the police looked back at me. And then kept on going. But I got scared, becuase i didnt expected the police to look back at me. Though,they were gone, but i was still very scared. Then after sometime i went inside the house.I was so much scared, that it felt like i was sick. I thought that i have done something, verybad, and those Police guys are coming to get me. hehehehe
