My Earliest Childhood Memories

31 DAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE DAY 4: EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

Childhood memories..there are thousands of them. From the one about almost killing a kitten (maybe I did kill it) to being the child mafia of my colony, from the cute vulnerable kid to the most stubborn and not so caring girl, from loving cousins to hating them.. my ‘childhood’ wasn't a small journey.

I remember begging to God asking Him to make the time run a little faster so that I can become an adult and would be treated like one. I remember how desperately I wanted all of it to pass and now when I look at my past, at my childhood days all I want is go back into that time I have lost.

Everything was much more fun, much more like heaven. But what’s the earliest childhood memory I have?  Now, this question really wants me to go back in time. Let’s do it then..

2013

Life had been good and busy in 2013. Left behind a lot of friends who were not actually ‘friends’ and learnt the lesson that I am not at all good at recognizing people.

2012

This year was like a game changer.  In fact, it changed me. From a sobbing alone girl to a free and happy young woman.. I transformed.

2011

There’s a phenomenon called ‘Chandigarh Di Hawa Lagna’ which happens to every small town girl who leaves home and joins college. It happened with me too. It’s not as simple as it sounds and it's very dangerous. But as I am already in my future (2014 :P ) I know handled it very well and recovered without much damage to my life.

Find me! :P

2010

The busiest year of my life. A house under construction, the stupid science subjects and double exam pressure (PMTs and AIEEEs kinda exams). And a very stupid crush which spoiled my 12^th percentage. LOL

2009

The slow and boring year where I did shift to a new place (Bathinda from Firozpur) but it didn’t turn out as exciting as I had expected since so many years. I missed everyone in Firozpur.. I missed my friends.. the rented apartment.. the neighbours.. the market.. the school …

2008

If you want to live a stressful childhood, you better get admission into D.C. Model Sr. Sec. School. They will keep pushing you to work harder and you’ll hate it till you actually become an adult , go to some other place and compare yourself to other people. My school was certainly the best..

 

2007

So, one more crush ;) But that time it wasn’t the Manpreet like the one you know now. It was a girl with oily and long braids.. fat tummy and an arrogant face. I never talked to boys and it was too difficult to handle friendships with girls.

2006

8^th standard.. We had boards even then and I got 100/100 in mathematics just like I did in 10^th.  But the reason in this class was I liked the mathematics teacher a lot and that’s why I couldn’t imagine to score lesser marks in his subject.

2005

Though it began in 2004, but the writing happened to me in this year. Those lovely books which required us to frame our own answers that too in a very creative way made me fall in love with books. This year was certainly the most important year of my life.

2004

My mathematics teacher slapped me for I got less marks in a test. She then apologized but what about the red cheek I got? How embarrassing it was!

2003

I got first position in school for the first time. I remember how I wasn’t able to believe it. Plus I remember that red scary woman whom I used to see in my dreams while I was suffering through typhoid. I swear I could really see her. I didn’t make it up.

2002

We shifted to a new house and it made me meet one of the best mentors in my life. My friends know her by the name of Gupta Aunty. I wonder how many of them still remember her? The personality you see now is the results of fine efforts of grooming by her.

2001

And it starts to blur.. I don’t remember what happened this year.. anything special? Except that I figured out I was under a 'Barbie Curse'. Whenever I bought a third barbie (I used to get one each birthday of mine), the neck of one of the old ones broke. So I could never have 4 barbies. :(

2000

My best friend who always had a running nose and swore to the Goddess Earth (I did it too.. the swear part only :P) left the town that too on my birthday. I wish I meet her again someday.

1999

My class got shifted to first floor.. that meant we became seniors ;)

1998

My principle first rejected me for she thought children of policemen don’t study and I would be a bad dot on her school’s history. Well, she got the answer through my speech in 2007 when I got merit position in 8^th boards. I lived all those years for this. I wanted her to know that she made a mistake by kinda disrespecting my mother. She had to pay!

1997

Here we go to the village life... I don’t remember much. But I do remember pushing one of my friends into a deep hole dug near a very deep river. She might have died. But she lives and she’s a friend even till now :P

1996

My teacher scolded me and sent me back home for she thought I am just a nuisance.

1995

That kitten incident.. I don’t know if the kitten was dead or not but my mom left no effort to kill me (in a hypothetical way).

1994

Me and my stupid cousin and our fights and our favorite weapon – broom…We’re born as witches.. Seriously!

1993

I opened my big eyes in this world.

My first birthday

And that’s my earliest childhood memory. LOL!

What did the person who designed this 31 day challenge think?  :D

Anyways.. what’s your earliest childhood memory? :P
