Playing with my neighboring friends and going to primary school. I still have few images in my mind.

I remember when we incidentally get holidays in the school and sent to my grandfather's house. I still have an image in my mind playing cricket with my brother outside my grandfather's house. Later I learned that those were the days of 1984 Sikh riots in India, and the place where we(my parent) used to live was heavily affected by the riots, so my parents shifted me & my brother to grandfather's place which was safe place. And my parents decided to stay at their own home to protect their home from being looted or burnt.

@SW-User I was a kid then, don't remember what happened. But when I listen to my parents and think, I feel today we(India) is at much better stage, and we should think of contributing our part in taking this progress further as part of our responsibility of being good citizen.
