Give Me another chance I wanna Grow Up Once Again!!!

Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna Grow up once again.

As a child I always wanted to grow up as fast as possible and do all possible things which I could think of once I am a grown up. Today when I am grown up I feel how stupid was I(its another thing that I am still stupid) to feel like that. If I would had understood how complex things gets in life with age I would have never thought like that. Today I feel what if I can rewind my whole life, travel back in time, and do it all over once again. To see what would have happened if I had taken the other road. To see that what could have happened if I had said the right thing at the right time. To curiously find out what would have happened if I had said a NO instead of a YES. What if life had ‘Undo’ options and ‘Backspace’ keys, may be I would had logged in again for second chances.

Kandho ko kitabon ke bojh ne jhukaya
Rishwat dene to khud papa ne sikhaya
99% marks laaoge to gadi varna chhadi
Likh likh kar pada hatheli par alpha beta gamma ka chaala
Concentrated H2SO4 ne poora poora bachpan jalaa daala


As a child I was a nerdy kid who went to school with neatly oiled and combed hair (all thanks to my mom), who was always ranked very high in the books of my teachers (i feel so). As a child I always wanted to become an engineer. I don't understand did I even knew at that age what an engineer actually does and what different engineering fields exists. To be true for me an engineer was one who drives train's engine. I know it sounds too funny now. But what you learn as a child is engineers and doctors are the last thing that you can do in this world to survive and I too had that feeling(thanks to my parents and teachers) till some years of my school. For that studying hard was always necessary and I always use to study hard but with time and more matured age learnt to study smart then to study hard. What If I wouldnt had studied that hard. May be I would had got say maximum 10% marks less. What difference would it had made to get 70% instead of 80% in school days. May be my name wouldn't had beeen announced every annual day to get the prize for the best lot of students in that standard. But then may be my name would had been announced at other events like singing competitions, drawing competition, craft competition, etc etc.. which I liked to do but never did as studies were the priorities for me and my parents. 99% marks laaoge to gadi varna chhadi this line really goes very very well for my school days.

Getting into college was different feeling after a disciplined school life. There were no rules and regulations to be followed. The heart beated 1st time for someone but never had it that it would go on and express it to the heart for which it beated. What If I would had expressed my self with all the feelings in the heart may be the one whom the heart loved the most would had been along with the heart it loved (sounds too complicated I know).

Childhood went into studies and only studies and Teenage into finding what I actually want to do with my life. Today may be I have the answer to what I want from the life but whether I get it that the future will tell. But for the past may be if I get an another chance I will like to grow up again not because I regret the decisions I made in past as a kid, child or a teen but to see what the results would had been if I had taken the other path.
