What do you miss the most from childhood days? For me it&#39;s tenderness on the block.

What were your favorite activities during Winter? I moved to Chicago from California when I was nine. I had to learn to skate so I could play hockey.

I miss family holidays by the sea with my mum, dad and sister. My parents are gone now but I remember them when they were younger than I am now. Days on the beach making sandcastles and paddling in the sea.

@TheHorse Sometimes, this is the UK so if we didn't get a long spell of sunshine it would be cold but when you're a child that doesn't seem to matter too much.

I miss the simplicity, fun and joy on having little achievements, and even something as simple as a good snack. Or the rains on a hot day to relieve us from dreary heat when we had big power cuts. Now the kids of today fail to appreciate the small bounties of the nature and otherwise.

Me too. Aeroplane flying above always caught my attention. The cars that passed by we try to declare which cars they were. Considering we had standard, Ambassador, and fiat mostly, it was not such a big deal those days.

@divalounger Kids were kids then. Today's kids are more intelligent, but more mean, more narrow minded and many are cunning in the worst way. Harsh but true!!

@TheHorse In some ways - of overall awareness. But I am not sure about the emotional quotient. Plus patience and tolerance is virtually non-existent!

I would have to say the ignerance of youth. Not having the stresses that come with being an adult. When all I had to think about, was what I'd wear to school. Or, remember to keep my room clean.

@vandana7 Oh the radio commentaries were so superb. And we had commentators like Narottam Puri. The Current bunch of commentators like Harsha Bhogle and others are good but Radio was another thing.

Lots of things. I wish I did not have to grow up. LOL When you grow up, you realize you need monies to survive. When you work hard for it, somebody beats you up for it. That makes you insecure. When you grow old people are constantly planning what to do with your monies. Damn it... I have folks I care about. I am not somebody with no feelings. If they have people they love, and want to leave something for, why should it be any different in my case? And then there are responsibilities cross gratefulness where you are confused and don't know where to draw line. Nah, being adult is not fun at all.

What do we do to make Pony smile. He is looking so nice...but perfect picture would be with a smile. I told him somewhere, I will give you my heart (meant my old throbbing four chambered possibly damaged organ), if you smile. He does not value my heart.

Our parents worried about us and our TV addictions. The next generation will probably turn out OK. I just hope they don't lose touch with nature.

@TheHorse I remember that he had a recliner and let me sit it in and he made great pickles and great apple pie. I do not know if I said or say things he said but just enjoyed being with him and sorry he had to die and that he cannot be with me now.
