Hey Ronica, you know what I've been thinking about lately? Our childhood memories. Those were the days, weren't they?

Of course, Robin. They were amazing. But why do you ask? Is everything okay?

Well, as we get older, life seems to get harder and more complicated. We have to worry about things like paying bills, meeting deadlines, and following societal rules. But when we were kids, everything was so much simpler. We could play all day, laugh without a care in the world, and enjoy the little things in life.

Exactly, Robin. We used to chase butterflies, build forts out of cardboard boxes, and make wishes on fallen eyelashes. Life was full of joy and happiness back then.

You know, Ronica, when I was a kid, I loved spending most of my day playing with my friends. Studying was not something I was interested in at all. All I wanted to do was play all day long. I had two really close friends during that time who were my best buddies. As a child, I had two very close friends with whom I used to spend my entire day playing. It's funny to think about it now, but we used to play with dolls a lot. We had so much fun together that we could play for hours without getting bored. Looking back, those were some of the happiest moments of my life.

Ha, I know, I know. Acknowledging the fact that playing with dolls was one of the favorite pastimes for girls. By the way, in which place did you spend your childhood? I grew up in a village and I miss it dearly. Those were the best years of my life. I used to swim with my friends and we played all sorts of games. Life was so much simpler back then.

Oh, you lived in a village? Awesome, Ronica. Of course, childhood memories are always precious, aren't they? I remember how much I used to enjoy village games like marbles and kite flying with my friends during festivals. It was so much fun to participate in these games and have a friendly rivalry. These games had a unique flavor that made them so special. I'm sure you must have played these games too and have some fond memories of them.

I had a very special bond with my grandfather. He had a deep love for me and was always there to protect me whenever my mother became angry with me. I really miss him now. He was one of the kindest people I've ever met in my life. He always used to buy me toys and make me feel special. His memory is something I will cherish forever.

I used to live in a village near James Island where I would wake up early in the morning and head to the farmhouse. The farming land near the farmhouse was where different crops were grown and during summer, the crops were ready for harvest. I would love to watch the harvesting process. Before starting my day, I would take a bath in the running water of the tube well at the farmhouse which always refreshed my mind with its cold water and fresh air, filling me with positive energy.

I can't believe it, you enjoyed it a lot.
