No matter where or what point in the past we enjoyed our childhood, there is a common stream of thoughts and deeds running under all our memories. Perhaps, children are the same, everywhere. And so are the things they enjoyed.

Have visited Nainital though and absolutely love it. There is something in the mountain air, the tall trees, the sparkling lakes and the robust people that instantly relaxes you. Loved your childhood memories. Though completely unrelated, they transported me to my nana's house in the UP plains where the harshest of summers did not deter us cousins from playing ice pice. Those beautiful days of childhood; I miss them immensely. Lovely post down memory lane. You must do these more often! Chalo if I ever go to Doon, I know who my guide will be. I loved that image of you with your kid brother on that scooter with papa and mama and rajma chawal for company :). My husband dreams of a day when we can retire and go and live in the mountains!Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.com
