Paddling back into Childhood Adventures

In life's progression from the very birth to last stop , we do a lot of adventurous things, looking back I did find some that I will be sharing today.
As promised to one my fellow blogger A-Musing , for me from early childhood till now its all about my sudden mood swings and the moments which drives me insane most of the time.
Looking back into the childhood days , where life seems to be very charming and inspirational as the only things in mind were to enjoy it,there was no pressure to do something extraordinary , but there has been a constant lecture from parents to make me to sense my responsibilities , but I had some other aspiration to achieve , whatever comes in mind I do it.

For instance it was some 21 yrs back (Hometown) when a Idea came into my mind to test how much everybody loves me , So to do so ..I hide myself in the window in such a fashion that no one can search me out ..it was summer days too hot ..so when the time for lunch approached , mom and all started searching for me ..well all came near to me shouting my nick name , but all their effort went into vein as I was not moved by this ..so some more fun ..for that mom also went all over the fields to check where I may be most probably , and came back home and said she saw snakes and reptiles on the way and was very much worried about me ..hmm looking at the progress I was in 2 minds to go out and give a surprise and second one a big no, since the chances to getting a strong welcome by a slap was more on cards ...so i thought to wait for some more time ...and later came out .. then ..it was obvious I had a warm welcome with a dashing slap and was sunned by it , later i told everything for what I did ..so I never stop laughing ...on that .how i did it .

Second instance was back in 1993 when I was in Punjab with my uncle and aunt, one day uncle and aunt went to a marriage though I was supposed to go with them but I'm kind didn't like the Marriage things , so I choosed to be back home ,so I was left alone  with a cook who will cook for me, with him while talking I bet that I can eat a whole chicken at a one time ; the very next day I didn't had my meals and in the night I asked brother to prep prep it for me in a special manner i.e baked it in the oven  having chicken inside banana leaf and spices all over ,that day I don't know .i managed to eat the whole chicken w/o any much difficulty as it was only food I had for the day. During the meal the only portion of chicken that troubled me is the neck it had only bones which were harder to chew.

Third instance was during day of learning bicycle , and cycle was much higher in height for me to handle , so one day i was crossing the main road and suddenly i lost my control over pedal and I caught myself in the middle of the road in awkward position , then there was a Ambassador car cruising toward me , I was having my heart beat high as if i try to do something i will fall in the road and what to do nothing came to my mind i thought its best to stand still and when the car will pass-by will do my bit , but then car was almost had me it was coming @ high speed i thought this is my last moment Bhagwaan ko yaad kar loon .. then it strike my cycle and I fell down and I get busy with rearranging the handle of cycle in the meanwhile the car driver parked कार at one side and came ..Like I had crushed his car , and all from nowhere slapped me so hard ..I still feel the pain ..its seems funny at this point of time but @ that time it was very embarrassing ..I would have reacted smartly by running from there but I never expected that he will come and do this to a little kid and later when i reached home all said from where did you have these marks over you cheeks , I said just fell in Bush on cheek side. If I would have said that my cycling would has been banned.

Fourth instance later in the same context (cycling) later when I was cycling @ IMA( Indian Military Academy) road, there was a steep cut in I shape and in a fraction of a second I turned my cycle without giving a thought to it , cycle was on top gear high speed and turn was very sharp ..my heart was beating fast as I thought I will surely get hurt as brakes of my cycle failed too , I closed my eyes and tilted my cycle in such a way to avoid the most probable disaster of banging my head onto the wall ..I felt a substantial delay and nothing happened and when I opened my eyes and saw i made a perfect turn , finally I took a long breath and thanked god. But the question remained in my mind how I escaped from this w/o getting hurt and later during my education I found that its the centripetal acceleration that made me to take that sharp turn just via some degrees.

Fifth one , it was during my 10th board exam time and exams center was in interior of Dehradun (Hathibarkala center school) , and it was my last paper i.e of science. My brother used to  drop me to the center, but that day we got a bus going toward the same school and upon asking they said "yes it going there common come over ". I took it and when I came out I found myself in different center , I got in a big fix as there was very few vehicles plying by , asked for a lift but no one gave..ask the student there but no one came to my rescue time was passing by 30 min were left "I said will give you money for this my one year will get wasted." please .help ..no one came forward..my heart beat got much fast Dhak Dhak, then One Brother came there over scooter and I asked him,and he agreed , he told me he came to get the LPG gas cylinder, but said "yours is more important", so sit I will drop you there. it was simply a new life to my dying believe to make to exam hall , I said bhai you helped me you helped me in my dying state , please accept this small sum of money and have some chocolates but he said no, he said" it was my duty to help you and go your exam is gonna to start soon  all the best .."and he went.This incident has the deepest impact on me and you know I get highest marks in this science paper than any other.

The last and final one of my school days back in hometown (Srinagar Garhwal), it was 12th Board time , all the syllabus was completed and we were in class after recess some of of class mates went to the principle sir to grant permission to go home , and we were granted permission , but some of the class mates decided against it and remained in class we all left home ..next day after morning assembly we all were summoned in the class by our class teacher and asked who went home yesterday stand-up , it was January time like too cold foggy weather ..and Sir had sticks in his hands waiting for getting started ..and its all stated 5 sticks per student many sticks broken still the rule remains the same , stick was striking the palm and thumb area initially it pained during 1st  2 stick then rest three were just taken as they were presented...but later the pain was unbearable ..most of us were in saddest mood ..I was the lone crying ..I suppose though I was laughing In between as it was funny too , we never saw such aggression from Sir. As we didn't asked him , so we got the Gifts.But It was a different kind of experience all together.

These are some of the childhood adventures I mostly look back at times ..if you have some of yours, do share will be great.

P.S : Tomorrow I'm going for a special thing , just need your wishes, If through it will dinitely share it, though I didn't prep for it lets see how it goes.
