Asking for the Impossible....

Why do we grow up? Can't we remain kids forever, the times when innocence and ignorance was what life was all about? Dependent, protected, unburdened, nothing to worry about, when small things where the biggest ever we wanted, crying meant tears from the eyes, and that too being only transient, the biggest decision to make was the one on candy flavour, that being taken keeping none in mind and what we chose was what WE wanted, no quandary, no regrets, no pain, no perturbation....

And though I know the answers to the above questions, though I'm aware of the fact that growing up has its own positives aiming at completeness, and though my childhood wasn't all that perfect and happy, my heart still yearns for those days. It was not the best phase of life, but definitely better in many aspects.Thank you memory, atleast I could reminisce.
