When we all were nothing but kids...we all
had ambitions of something doing big! Well just like any other kid I too, had
my share of ambitions!!!! I had all these silly ambitions of becoming a police
officer (like Kiran Bedi),a doctor (the most common) and the most daring and
favorite of mine was that of becoming an Astronaut!!! To be very honest this
was not my original idea ....my partner in crime was my cousin brother Tutuda!
We'd mugged up from the various
encyclopedias all about space n aircrafts and astronauts....and we had this
strong belief that it's very much possible to make a rocket n off to the
moon!!!!! With this strong belief and stars in our eyes oneday we decided that
we are all set to build our own rocket!! Our factory was a small rooftop
adjoining chamber in my aunt's apartment and throughout the summer
vacation, the main thing that we used to do in the noon time was to make our
own rocket!! Obviously our main inputs were some old packing boxes,some broken
pieces of a basin......and our vivid imagination! We had even decided that my
brother is going to be the pilot and me the co-pilot! We were on the verge of
almost finishing our work (don't ask how) when oneday my aunt caught us on the
roof top during the noon time amidst all these! Forget about the scoldings that
we got, or the restrictions that were set after this,....but that was the end
of our Mission Impossible!
So that was one of my childhood antics
.......I know they are very much silly ....but that's my signature style
perhaps!
