This is a nice topic (Just a Kid) to tell somethings about because once all of us was a kid. I would like to share some interesting memories of kid’s life. The days can not be recovered. I wish to go back to those days but its not possible now. I can recall those memories which were sweet memories.
Helping in Agricultural Activities
As I am from village area of Bangladesh, my childhood was full of joy and excitements. Rural people are very much hard working. Agriculture and other farming activities are the core tasks of rural people. Here you will find a rare people doing job in an office. We had some lands to cultivate rice, two ponds for farming fish, a cow for the milk, couple of goats, some chickens, some ducks and vegetable garden around our house. There were about 80+ coconut and mango trees on the bank of ponds. My mother and Grandmother were involved in most of these activities. I along with my sister helped them in doing this activity. Here is some list of works I have done with my mother…
- Helped in cutting rice trees and harvesting them like drying in the sun and separating from puddy
- Helped father in catching fish
- Brought milk, egg, and vegetables to the nearby bazar for selling and bought some necessary items by selling those.
- Help them in selling coconut, mango and other trees.
- Collect grass for goat and cow, collect snail for duck.
- Bringing cattle to the field and bring back in the afternoon.
These were very common activities along with study. In village area most of the people is involved with such kind of activities. Now we can’t see such scenario because farming has been reduced remarkably in the rural area. I worked hard in the childhood but enjoyed these activities very much. The days was superb. When you involved in farming activities, you will feel good to take fresh egg, vegetables, fruits etc. In those time about 23 years back, there were a lot of natural fish in the field. Sometimes went to field to catch fish with net. Those memories were very sweet. We were involved with several activities throughout the year. In the early morning of the winter, water from the date tree along with different pitha (cake) was the best memories of winter morning. Superb. Now a days, the scenario has been changed a lot with the change of purchasing power of people, climate change and hybrid agriculture. Those days are only memory and dream for current day’s kids.
Playing
In village area like us, around half of the year, the land was filled with water. Thus, travelling by boat, playing different games in the water of the field was one of the core enjoyments with nearby friends. We spend a lot of time about more than 2/3 hours in the water of the fields in the childhood. For current days kids it should be dream because with 5/10 minutes shower even with home fresh water, the get cold. For us it was normal to pass huge time at the field water.
Various types of games we played several times of the year like Gulla chot (Reaching to the last end), Bou Chi (Bringing one from one place to another place), Gaiyya guchi (By digging into the soil), Chara (By the parts of the soil pot), Marvel, Kabaddi, Football and obviously cricket. We have enjoyed a lot in childhood with playing several games. There were huge fields there but now playing fields are rare. I went to several places nearby our village with seniors to watch the cricket or football match between our village and other village. Sometimes our village won, sometimes lost. But memories were sweet. Being kids I love to just go with them and support them. I have participated several junior based cricket torments. I love to play cricket still now. I played some good cricket among my friends.
Hanging with friends was the other enjoying moments of childhood. We love to go to several friend’s house to take some fruits or playing some cricket. We went to several beautiful places with friends when got some early leave from school.
Memories were very sweet and exceptional from these days. I eagerly wish to be there. We were not rich that time, but we had good feelings in our heart and mind. Now, I am rich little bit as don’t need to think of food, but can’t feel like those days. In those days, I was innocent and soft. Now my heart is hard. Can’t be emotional like those days of childhood.
Here are some photographs of current kids in my family (niche and nephew)
