Then and Now!!

It is snowing out here and I have decided to work from home today. As I sit there in front of my laptop which is strategically located nearer to my balcony to get a glimpse of the outside world while working. But instead of concentrating on work, my mind is wavering and I am kind of reminiscing the winters in India especially the one's that I enjoyed when I was in school. Every winter morning, I had one wish and that is, my school should remain closed so that I get some extra hours of sleep under the blanket. Alas,It never happened and I used to hesitantly go to school. I used to love the winters in India, specially the green fields. Somehow, looking at those greenery used to make me feel happy from within. Oh! I miss them so much. What an irony!! When I was a kid, I used to think of growing up soon to fulfill my dreams and be something in this world. Now as an adult, I am thinking of my child hood days and longing for them. I specially remember my winter and summer vacations when I used to get loads of books as gifts from my parents and I used to sit at one place and not get up till I am done with my reading. Here today,laptop is my best friend and I have lost the touch of reading books. I am kind of missing those carefree, innocent and above all tension free days.

At the same time, I feel lucky that I have such a supportive family who are with me in my thick and thin. Even today I look up to them for support and advise. In fact, I think all of those people who have strong family support are the luckiest people in the world.
But sometimes my mind veers towards those kids who are not so fortunate as us to have family support. Guess, it is a payback time for us to help them in whatever means we can.
