Hello Reader,
In this first
post of the New Year, 2015, I would like to remember some of those hobbies
which were important part of my life in my childhood days. Here is a list of those hobbies:
1.
Collecting
Tazos and Tattoos
Chips, Waffers and Bubble gum companies should be thankful to me for growing
their business revenues for so many years, for collecting a series of Tazos and
Tattoos which came free with them. A neighbourhood
shopkeeper who got to know about my love for these things often helped me in my
collection by giving a few tazos or tattoos for free.
. Maintaining a Scrapbook

I used to stick up interesting pictures, articles cut out of newspapers and
magazines in a landscape-type drawing book with blank white pages. It was a
wonderful hobby which my friends and I used to take up especially in the summer
and winter vacations and then later share our scrapbooks when our school
reopened.
3.
Watching
Cartoon Network
I really miss watching cartoon network. It was source of great entertainment
and a bit of wisdom too. And, I agree to the fact that the CN nwhich is
broadcasted nowadays is nothing compared to the classic cartoon network which
had unforgettable shows like Dexter’s Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Popeye, Swat Cats,
Looney toons, and how can I not mention Tom and Jerry. The list is endless.
4. Collecting Action Figures and Hot Wheels
G. I. Joes, Superhero action figures and Hot Wheels’ cars were my favourite toys
and they were always on top of my shopping list whenever I had to use my pocket
money. Then me and my friend used to create small movie like stories using them
and doing little imagination and brainstorming,
5.
Playing
Video Games
Gaming has upgraded in terms of graphics and dimensions but that joy of playing
the cassette Video Games was an era in itself. Half of the summer vacation was
occupied playing games like Mario, Contra, Load Runner, Alladin, etc. Again,
the list is endless. And, among friends, we exchanged the cassettes to play the games which we were deprived of.
