A handful of random things I remember from my childhood:
1. Walking back from school with my friend, throwing stones in a naali and throwing sand at each other on the way
2. A friend being a hypocrite and me being surprisingly mature enough (all of 7 back then) to realize that it simply wasn't right
3. Being teacher's pet more often than not :P
4. Being asked (read coerced) by class teacher to tie raakhi to a guy in class this one raksha bandhan because I wasn't tying when all other girls were and because there was this one guy in class to whom no one had tied one. I still remember his name
5. Being teased by the guys in class, called all sorta names, my hairband being taken and tossed amongst the guys :P and being teased in particular with a friend :P
6. Fighting with some of the guys in class, chasing (please do not misunderstand :P) a few in and around class and even around school :P think I even slapped one of them in a fight once :P
7. Having a friend with whom I, ahem, teased someone in class :P
8. Having that someone tease me in return and also offending and being offended by him :P
9. Having more than necessary vivid and good memory of everything :P
10. Getting into a catfight and slapping a classmate, we are both past that now
11. Being a happy, fun loving school kid with lots of friends. . .and that, stays. . . :)
It's interesting as to how time has flown and how many of those who weren't friends are friends now. . . :) and how some others have drifted apart :) I talk only of my childhood ofcourse :) lots has happened after that as well :) all tat, well maybe on another fine day. . . :)

Kuch laal kuch safaid,
Mutthi mein bandh ungliyaan
Aur ismein bandha aakrosh
Le jaaye kahaan. . .
Badan kaamp utthe,
Itni ismein bechaeni. . .
Bahut kuch karne ko hai
Chadni hai ek lambi aeni. . .
Haalaat vipaksh hain humaare,
Samay bhi hai paabandh. . .
Shaayad nayi nazar se dikh raha
Ya phir wakai naya hai yeh prabandh. . .
Sab samaapt karne ki chaah,
Par ek sahaara humaara,
Jash-e-bahaar, gul-e-gulzaar
Woh saahil, woh kinaara
Is laun ki roshni se,
Savaaroon apna naya kul
Mehekte mehekte, haule haule jo
Meri saanson mein gaya ghul
Mutthi mein bandh ungliyaan
Aur ismein bandha aakrosh
Le jaaye kahaan. . .
Badan kaamp utthe,
Itni ismein bechaeni. . .
Bahut kuch karne ko hai
Chadni hai ek lambi aeni. . .

Woh saahil, woh kinaara
Is laun ki roshni se,

Mehekte mehekte, haule haule jo
Meri saanson mein gaya ghul
