Thank you sir/madam for this interesting topic. I spent my childhood in a suburban area and my childhood was quite exciting. Honestly speaking, my childhood was magical. There was no distress, anxiety and responsibilities and every moment, I was ready to explore the unknown and ready to do something new and interesting

I would like to talk about a typical day of my childhood when I was around 7 or 8 years old. I used to wake up very early and get ready for my school. I used to eat my breakfast at around 6.30 in the morning and the milk, bread, banana and egg were the usual breakfast items. My mother prepared breakfast for the whole family. Then I rode with my dad by bike every day to school. I played with my classmates before and after the classes. I mostly played football, chess, hide-and-seek and the merry-go-round with my friends

When I returned home at around 2.00 pm, it was the time for taking a shower and no matter how hard I tried to avoid it, my mother always made sure that three of us have had a shower. For the lunch, we ate what my mother cooked at home and she was a gorgeous cook who had an uncanny power of cooking delicious meals. Interestingly, I never wanted to take a nap after lunch and play instead, but my mother would not let me

As I can recall, my mother mostly looked after me while my father tried to allocate time when he was at home. He often helped me complete my homework or played chess with me in the evening. I must be very lucky to have such a passionate, caring and friendly parents who always sacrificed their interests to be with our side and to make us happy

The afternoon was the most exciting time for me as I could do anything at that time and was not forced to study. I often went outside to play with my friends. We often played football, chess and merry-go-round and the type of games we played varied based on the season. Sometimes we ran and shouted for no apparent reasons. At night I spend a couple of hours to watch TV and then complete my homework. I usually went to bed at around 10.30 pm

I would say everything in my childhood was exhilarating. However, the natural beauty around our neighbourhood, my parents, unbound freedom to play and good friends were something truly special and I still miss those days. I wish I could get back to those days and enjoy my time as a child again
