Sometimes I wonder, we are now adult who understand things, situations, conditions, we know how to behave and what to speak but still sometimes we become that small kid which we used to be with out caring about this grown up world.
Yesterday, we were at the place of our one of the Indian friend here in Sweden for FIKA ( Swedish verb and noun (pronounced “fee-ka”) that means “to drink coffee/tea/squash,” with some sweets usually accompanied by friends). We met, chatted and after spending some time there we decided to go back to our place. The moment we reached downstairs it started raining heavily and then we have to stay there to wait for rain to stop.
We were again guests for our host, my friend took out his Nintendo Wii to play some games on it and it was my first experience with Nintendo Wii after all those child hood video games,brick games, college hood computer games (College hood, I know that’s not a word 😀 ) and my experience was awesome. It lets you move from your place so its not like you are sitting at one place all the time in front of the TV screen. I wondered at that time if my parents would have been here at this moment then I could have said to them that “Ab aap log nahin keh sakte ki saare din is game k chakkar me TV k saamne betha rehta he… dekho ye bethna waala game nahin he :D”.
The girls were least interested in playing that game so they were chatting and preparing dinner in their kitchen while we boys were jumping, bouncing and shouting while playing games on Wii :). Yesterday, I became that small child when I was playing those games, I told my wife two or three times to not to cross from area between me and the TV screen because I was getting disturb and loosing points there :D. I played, won, loose and giggled about it.
While going back to our place my wife started saying all those dialogues which I used to say her as mentioned in the opening of this post and why shouldn’t she, she got such a nice chance to say something same back to me. :D, she was happy, I was happy, we both were happy.
It was fun to play such kind of games till college life, I don’t know how and where that charm for these games vanished midst of job, career and family life but it is always fun to somethings which you did in your childhood. Its not like that I was not aware about Nintendo Wii or Xbox but still never purchased them. I still remember that day when my father bought us (me and my brother) our first video game and again he became super dad from just dad :D…….. and we started to install it with TV and started fighting to choose who is gonna take first remote…. and…
Pufffffffffffffffffffffffffffff…………. ohhh…. I am just back from my old memories. I know I was talking like a kid.
