Bathing.....a childhood adventure , now....... a 5 minute process

hi guys,
I request u not to get ur hopes high abt this post coz i feel that its title may be a bit catchy n interesting but after reading this, u may end
up finding some true crap .
Well , that doesn't matter anymore coz lyf is full of such stuff.

Frankly speaking , bathroom stories r well kept secrets for everyone. Hdden from the outer world. But i m writing them down coz i really miss those days.


So, i truly believe that in our childhood , everyone must have had the best moments of their day while.......... taking a bath.
This was something i was very fond of . I used to enjoy it . I loved it .

When i was a kid (really small) i used to play while i was in the bathroom. i used to make two characters out of my fingers, on the floor and used to make them fight against each other. Those characters were really dramatic. They did flips , back flips, jumps, they used to kick each other like jackie chan or bruce lee and i used to create the sound of punches n kicks (dhisooooomm) , and truly speaking........i felt adventure in it. As both of those characters were my own hands fighting with each other, one day i made the right one to win, and the other day , the left one.
When i think about it now , i feel it was really stupid. But thats how the childhood is.... stupid, embarrassing, idiotic, and totally weird.

I also used to hold my breath inside a bucket full of water.......i held a record of 53 seconds holding my breath inside a bucket(big deal...!!!!!).
But a few days back when i tried it agiain , i realised that the bucket is same ......... but i've grown up. i cant put my head inside the bucket, with my hand, holding my nose tightly.

i hold another record , which i'm really proud of............and can make many of u feel jealous of me(LOL). It was the month of december and i was in 2nd grade. Spine chilling weather and such dense fog that u can't see the 2nd next house from your door. In such drastic conditions, i made a gr8 record of "not taking a complete bath" for about 16 days.
Nobody at home knew about it. I used to step inside the bathroom , wash my hands and legs.....and my beautiful face. Then i used to sprinkle some water over the rest of my body and wet my hair. Then, dress up for school and i become a ..........."nahaya dhoya" ladka???
And i believe everyone holds such a record. Generally of one or two days but definitely
not as great as mine..........!!!!!!!!!!!

i Guess, since we all have grown up.........we all lost that innocence of childhood. that feeling of adventure in all the small small things of life. Adventure in crossing the road all by yourself............adventure in lighting a matchstick.............adventure in turning on the gas stove...............adventure in sitting out in the front seat of a scooter. Its just gone...........now i dont feel like that.......!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes i feel i have really grown up...........like, grown "old". But may be this is the way life is. Taking a bath was just one small part of that lovely life , but it was an adventure for me ................but now its just a "five minute process".
