All of us,thought and did stupid things when we were kids. Here's a list of mine. No criticism allowed.
#1 I believed that Indians got indipendence by beating the crap otta the British and killin' 'em all. No idea where i got the idea from- But i freaked out one day, when i discovered that Brits lived in England. I concluded that other Indians didin't know about it, cause if they did, they'd have killed the rest of the Brits too. Ad yeah, i DID want them to.
#2 I got into a hbit of asking my mom everyday, "dopahar ho rahi hai kya???/ is it afternoon????" I simply couldn't understand what timeof the day was "dopahar"/ afternoon.
Morning was the time you woke up. Evening was when the sun went down. Night was when you slept.
When the hell was afternoon?!?!?!
#3 A lot of planes pass over my house during th night. When we first shifted here, i thought that they were sounds made by dinosaurs who lived in the nearby park.
#4 I also believed for a long time that it became day and night because somebody changed the scene aroundour house, just like they do in plays.
#5 I thought the moon followed me.
#6 I was once very fascinated by how sometimes, it became sunny and shady abruptly. I didn't understand that it was just because clouds passed in front of the sun.
I once asked a senior in school (she was in 5th, i was in 3rd). She smiled and shook her head importantly, "tumhe badi classes mein pata chalega!!"
#7 I tried to smuggle a stray puppy into the house.
My parents (duh) found out (duh) and sent it back (duh).
#8 I thought my brother was an ass. I was wrong. My brother is brainless. Asses have brain (I mean the donkey vala ass, you pervert!!!)

7 things said by people:
Lol.
Remember that prayer we had to sing in junior classes? "Praise him in the morning, noontime, when the sun goes down, etc."? I thought we were singing about atmospheric conditions called praisim, serwhim and lurvim.
I also used to cut out the daily weather report and stick it on the door to the balcony. I figured after many years they'd evoke fond nostalgic memories. A week later we moved.
And I used to start crying if I saw a Blue Screen of Death. We got a lot of 'em in those days... we were running Windows 95.
Well ... till a day before my S.st. Board exam, Jharkhand would conveniently become both Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh; Chhattisgarh became Bihar and Chhattisgarh, but mostly Bihar; and Bihar would be left untouched and I used to wonder if that is Uttaranchal.
You're allowed to say stuff like, "Haw, we were taught States in 5th", but I'd like to point out here that in 5th, we didn't have so many states. So.
I found out when I finally got confused between what I'd marked and where the book said a particular mine/port/city was.
@ yottabyte- looool!!!
whats with weather reports and fond memories????
and the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH???? loool!!!
@ espera- don't worry. it happens 2 everyone. in 6th, i coloured nepal as part of india.
*sheesh*
ok confession time....I didnt like the Brits too and I have carried the feeling to adulthood...can't imagine how any Indian can go and live amongst those people who once so ruthlessly abused and used us.
that my best friend stays there is all the more painful.
sheesh. those ppl still hate us. they glare at you as if you're dirty and call you "paki".
and thats supposed to be an insult, though i dunno how and why.
but they like chicken tikka masala/
Haw, we were taught states in 5th.
Actually we did. The 3 new states were formed in 2000. I was really mad that I had to remember a whole new home state AND capital.
As for the weather reports... they were the only thing in the newspaper that I understood. That's why. You know, like a "This Day in History" column.
I had a British penpal in 7th. At first, I wondered if it'd be kind of awkward. Wouldn't it be unpatriotic to not hurl all the gaalis I knew at her?
come on, they wouldn't mind.
it would be unpatriotic for them NOT to listen to our gaalis and then shoot us.
