And everything that is synonymous with summer holidays for me. My native place. I haven't been there in about six years, I think. Bad, bad person I am. <br /><br />Loved the post...Spaceman Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143505093943885418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381559858864563502.post-30505994145395773772011-11-09T16:11:45.132+05:302011-11-09T16:11:45.132+05:30SuperSuperMonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381559858864563502.post-35812139193284482902011-11-09T15:49:50.316+05:302011-11-09T15:49:50.316+05:30another great post, meena.

I envy you for remembering your childhood with such vivid detail.<br /><br />My Amma-ma still gives me the honor of carrying back and enjoying her homemade pickle. Being the eldest in the monkey army, I did almost everything you've described in your post from climbing roof tops, to sliding down trees and also got away most of the time.<br /><br />You are very bad for reminding me of her pickle when I`m stranded thousands of miles away from her. <br /><br /><br />Cheers :)Atrocious Scribblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565576262693095632noreply@blogger.com
