-          When you were recommended for Shankar’s On the spot drawing competition and you would paint the usual painting you knew – mountains, sun, a cottage with smoke coming out, a river flowing from the mountains, few birds and a couple of trees. You were considered exceptional if you could paint something different.

-          When school picnic meant standard visits to Rajghat, Shantivan, Red Fort, Birla mandir, Dolls museum and Qutub minar….where I would try to make a wish at the wishing minar (the legend was that if one can place his back with the pole and take back both arms around it towards back, clasp your hand and make a wish, it will come true….remember when our wishes were very small like a new toy.
