Playback Childhood: When Cartoons Taught Me
to sing confidently with a bad voice
When Shin Chan conveyed to never
feel sad after receiving a family punch
When Motu Patlu clearly confirmed
No steroid is better than stellar Samosa
When Galli Galli Sim Sim
gave random knowledge during lunch
When I wanted to be intelligent and cool
like fantastic Phineas and Ferb
When I fell in love with gadgets
seeing Doraemon’s multidimensional pocket
When I was sure how my dream house should be
Just the way in Mickey Mouse and Club House
When Ninja Hattori showed me to speed up
and run like Samurai, faster than rocket
When after watching Shaktiman and Perman
I too wanted to save the world from evil
When I learnt about the challenges
of being a little mermaid in a deep blue sea
When I could relate with Jerry troubling Tom
just the way I did to my elder brother
When I started having fun on my own
Watching the incomparable human – Mr. Bean
Don’t wish to go back to those days
but I miss how things used to be.
Don’t miss that sedative school
but the dare devils I used to meet
When astronaut, pilot, teacher, prime minister
That’s what I wanted to be.
When 5 o’ clock meant playtime
Leave everything and go! No worries!
