The Days Of Our Lives

Contrary to what the title might imply this post is actually 2 seperate entries woven together as one.

The Kids of Today

To begin with, I visited my relatives (after a long long time) living in Delhi on Saturday. The family of my mom's younger sister and younger brother both have 2 kids each, the elder girls being in the 9th grade and boys being 8 years of age, each gender-pair being just a few months apart.
Anyway, why I'm mentioning about my cousins is because they completely astonished me. One incident took place when one of the 8-year olds (the one on the extreme right in the pic) brought out his dad's laptop and connected to the internet to surf the various games-sites. I was like "Whoa dude, you sure you're 8?" Kids these days I tell you. Look closely at the pic and you would realize that this kid barely looks like he learnt to walk some time ago, and there he was telling me how the use the laptop's mouse.

The second incident took place when the girls asked me to guess which class they were presently in. I answered "5th or 6th" keeping thier kiddy antics in mind. When they told me that they were studying in 9th, the Big Ben hit me again; "TUNNGGGG!!!!" 9th??? 9th??? I started going out with my girlfriend in 9th (and I've been with her for a good 7 1/2 years now :) ) There was no way I could even imagine there girls having boyfriends!!

So as is pretty evident, I am confused about the kids of today. Are they more mature or totally immature for their age compared to my generation. Whatever the answer, I am dumbfounded.


Dad

As with every 3rd Sunday of June, this Sunday was Father's Day. (Note to reader : Still time to send a belated wish to dear ol' dad. Arn't you glad you guys read this space?!! :P) Since my dad mostly lived away from us due to his transferrable job, I hardly spent any time of quality time with my old man. When he was finally transferred to Delhi 7 years ago after a long long time, it felt weird getting to actually gel with him for what felt like the first time.
My dad always made it a point to be one of the kids around the house which made my mom grow loads of grey hair 'coz all of a sudden she had to take care of an extra kid. We had tons of fun when my dad was around (he is currently in Agra :( )

Here is a funny incident which makes me remember my old man (he'd kill me if he found out that I call him this :P ) which I present as a tribute to him on Father's Day.

Me (after locking my dad in the toilet and switching off the lights when he had gone to take a leak) : "Ha ha!!"

Dad (giving a helpless cry) : "Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Mom (coming from the kitchen) : "Oh no, not again!! The last time you did that, I had to clean the toilet walls!!"

Me (ROTFLOL-ing) : "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

P.S.: My mom also rocks!! :)
