Childhood ..Summer Memories

Childhood ..Summer Memories

Renuka Narwankar

In our childhood there was not much television nor any computers or any video games that the children have today.

No much of hill station visits....in order to survive the boredom of the long hot summer... as a kid most of us were sent to our native places for our summer vaccation.

All the aunties and uncles and cousins gathered and spent some memorable time together...
The warmth, bond and the love which grew every vaccation..

When you're a kid, you kind of live in the moment, not realizing that the memories you have assembled in your brain will last a lifetime.

What is your favorite vacation memory????? .

I remember when we were in school, during vactions, we use to go either at Baroda or in Saurashtra at Nani's place,I recollect I have seen my great grand mother. We children use to play cards or with pieces of glass bangle with a challange who removes maximum pieces without disturbing other pieces.In those days hoteling was not fashion. Granny use to preapare diifernt etables for us.Thanks Renuka you took me in my childhood summer vaction.

My favorite "Flower-Auntie's" Wedding
Enjoying summer holidays at our grandma's place at Khandwa was a yearly ritual, but this time (summer of 1955) our visit to Khandwa (a sleepy town famous for actor Kishor Kumar) was a special one. We reached Khandwa Railway station by Pathankot- Express via Bhusawal from Nagpur. Journey from Rly. Station to the Deo's Bungalow (grandma and mama's residence) used to be a memorable one by the Tanga (Horse driven cart). We saw that Deo's Bungalow was shining bright as it was newly painted for the marriage of our 'Flower-Aunty'.
She was a team leader of we total eight nephew-nieces ,the "Octave" and since her name was Suman we took it as our right to call her as 'Flower-Auntie' (Fa). We could also attribute that, She being the youngest of four sisters, the name "fa" also tallied with the 'fourth note' in sol-fa notation� (do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si).
For us marriage of favorite aunty was not a good news as we had seen in the movies about a daughter leaving her parents after marriage in a sad mood. We imagined that now we shall miss her forever and envied the lucky man of her life.
The bungalow was packed with relatives and we were about 'fifteen' in the age group of 5 to 19.The upper floor of bungalow was kept reserved for the Baratees(Bridegrooms Party). We all wanted to spend last 2-3 days with Flower Aunty (Fa) and to preserve the memories.
Next morning at the tea time, our 'Fa' threw a surprise with an announcement. She declared that "We all shall get what We want" as a gift from 'Fa' that evening from a famous Gift Shop of Khandwa. We couldn't believe as no one could imagine 'Fa's gesture. We all started planning and making a long list of gifts from Mouth organ, Football, Hocky stick up to Cricket bat. I was however thinking as how could she be so generous for all of us? Yes, She was almost like "A God of we small things" and gave full credit to her surname "Deo"meaning God itself. After whole day of planning and frequent changes in the long list of "Gifts of our choice"was finalised. The evening was memorable at the Gift Shop that too without the interference of our parents. We all returned jumping with joy. At night we were awaken at the thought of losing our Fa after marriage. Everyone was skeptical about the lucky groom who would take away our Fa after marriage.
The Baratee's arrived next evening and a small wonder! The bridegroom needed no introduction as we had seen him before at Nagpur with 'Fa' number of times and even had a chance to enjoy Ice Cream with them together. My elder sister told all of us that it's a Love Marriage. We were happy that now she will stay near us at Nagpur.
In no time we became friends with Baratee. The wedding was a grand show with special band-party from military town of Mohow. We were astonished to see the band party playing old and new film tunes and also some English songs. Their dresses in spotless white were a major attraction. Our group was given job of serving pan, flower- sticks and sweets in trays. Cigarettes were kept separately in tins of 50's in a separate tray.
We found some difficulty in serving cigarettes, as it was not in proper manners to serve cigarettes to our elder relatives. We immediately solved the problem. The Band- Party was our target. We offered them the expensive cigarettes from the tins of 50's and they readily accepted the 'smoke' and were ready to play the 'songs of our choice'. After the marriage this became hilarious comedy for all of us amongst elders.
The wedding was memorable in all respect. For our grandmother "Aaji", this was her last responsibility and the only son's (our mama) marriage was immediately after this. The name of bridegroom was "Pandharinath" and we started teasing him with the famous song of Lata Mangeshkar� "Pandharinatha zadkari aata� Pandhari soduni tula vinavite Rukhamai Vithalla" and even dared him to change her name as "Rukhumai"
The memorable wedding of our dear Flower Aunty ended over a sweet note as our dearest mama got married next week with a beautiful bride and the new 'mami' became our next team leader

मस्त थ्रेड आहे!

माझ्या वयाचे ज्या ज्या लोकांचे वडील कोकण सोडुन मुंबईला स्थायिक झाले, त्या सर्वांच्या लहानपणी, मे महिन्याच्या सुट्ट्या या बहुतेक करुन आजी-आजोबांच्याकडे कोकणातच असायच्या. यात सारे कोकणी जीव एकमत असतील असं गृहीत धरतो. एरवी कोकणी माणुस कोणाशी एकमत असण्याचा योग विरळच. :)

तर माझ्याही उन्हाळ्याच्या सुट्ट्या कोकणातच असायच्या. या सुट्टीची पहिली आठवण म्हणजे मुंबई ते मालवणचा लाल डब्याचा(म्हणजे एसटीचा) प्रवास. सहसा आम्ही दादरला गाडी पकडायचो. सामानात लिमलेटच्या गोळ्या आणि बस लागु नये म्हणून आवळा सुपारी यांचं खास स्थान होतं. साधारण संध्याकाळच्या सुमारास सुटणारी गाडी रात्री कधीतरी कोकणाच्या हवेत शिरायची. पण तोपर्यंत आम्ही मुलं आईच्या मांडीवर डोकं ठेउन गाढ झोपलेलो असायचो. आणि बसच्या धक्क्यांनी जाग आली तरी बाहेर फ़क्त अंधार असायचा.

याच्यामुळे व्हायचं काय कि पहाट होताना हळुहळु प्रकाश कोकणाच्या लाल मातीवर पडायचा - ते बघायला मजा यायची. एखादं सुंदर चित्र हळुहळु प्रकट व्हावं तसं. पहाटेच केव्हातरी आम्ही आमच्या छोट्याश्या गावी उतरायचो - काळसे! त्याला "काळसे धामापुर"ही म्हणत! माझ्या वडिलांचे सारे बालपण तिथे गेलेले. त्यामुळे "भाई इलो रे" च्या गजरातच आम्ही सारे आमच्या पुर्वजांच्या वास्तुत पाय ठेवायचो.

वडिल धरुन ती पाच भावंडं! म्हणजे वडील, काका, आणि तीन आत्या! या सर्वांची कुटुंबं, म्हणजे आजी पकडुन(आजोबा मी खूप लहान असतानाच वारले) एकुण २१ जणांनी काळश्याचं ते जुनं घर उजळुन जायचं. त्यात आणि २ म्हशी, १५-२० कोंबड्या, त्यांची पिल्लं, अर्थात १-२ कोंबडे, आणि आमचा ईमानी कुत्रा मोती यांची भर.

दिवसभर धिंगाणा! विहिरीवर आंघोळ, आजारावर जाउन कडक उन्हात थंडगार नारळाचं पाणी प्यायचं, वहाळ्यात म्हशीला धुवायचं, आणि स्वत:सुद्धा रेड्यासारखं डुंबायचं, आजीची नजर चुकवुन तीने आपल्याचसाठी बनवलेला खाऊ चोरुन धुम पळायचं आणि सगळ्या भावंडांनी तो वाटुन खायचा, दुपारी सड्यावर जाउन आंबे, रतांबे, पेरु, काजी काढायच्या, कधी असंच मळ्यावर पडून रहायचं, कधी तारकर्लीच्या नदीत डुंबायचं..... असे मस्तपैकी दिवस जायचे. दुपारी उन जास्त असेल तर घरची मोठी लोकं बाहेर पडू द्यायची नाहित. अश्यावेळी मग बाहेर सारवलेल्या अंगणात चटई घालून पत्ते खेळायचे. जेवायला दररोज मासे. कधी सुळे, कधी बांगडा, कधी सरंगा! आमटी मध्ये वरायटी असायची. कडवे वालाची रस्सा उसळ, कैरीची आमटी, चण्याच्या गोळ्यांची आमटी. चुलीवर केलेल्या भाकरीबरोबर वालाची, फणसाची भाजी.... नाहितर नुसता कांदा आणि मिरचीचा ठेचा...मजा मजा असायची! आणि या सार्‍याला कोकणी नारळाची सार्थ संगत.

पण कधीही कोणालाही एसीडिटी नाही कि काही नाही! सबकुछ हज़म! गावाची हवाच तशी छान! आणि जेवणाला चवच वेगळी. साधी तांदळाच्या पेजेत सुद्धा मजा यायची!

संध्याकाळ झाली कि गाव शांत व्हायचा...म्हणजे.... आम्ही शांत व्हायचो. दमलेलो असायचो, पण थकवा नसायचा! शारिराला लागतो तो "दम", आणि मनाला येतो तो "थकवा". त्यामुळे झोप येत असली तरी मन ताजेतवाने असायचे. मग रात्री लालटेनच्या मंदं दिव्यात आजी गोष्ट सांगायची. गोष्टीत चेटकीण ही असायचीच. ती मेली की गोष्ट संपली!

कोकणाच्या लाल मातीत आणि हापूस आंब्याच्या गोड चवीत मे महिन्याच्या सुट्ट्या कधी संपायच्या कळायचं सुद्धा नाही.

आता माझ्या राहुलला एअर-कंडिशन्ड गाडीने कुठल्याश्या रिसॉर्ट ला "टू नाईट्स एंड थ्री डेज" सुट्टीसाठी नेताना ती मुंबई-मालवण एसटी दिसते….तशीच आहे! फ़क्त काळाने "लाल्या" चा “मिस्टर आजगांवकर” केला.

ही थ्रेड वाचली आणि पुन्हा एकदा तो लाल डबा, ती लाल माती, ती तोंडावर पदर घेउन खुदकन हसणारी आजी, ती विहीर, तो मळा, तो सडा, ते आजार, ते वहाळ....सारं सारं काही आठवलं.

आयुष्याच्या प्रवासात ते गाव फ़ार लांब राहिलं. आणि पैश्याच्या या रेसमध्ये त्याचा विसरही पडला. पण आजही.....दीड हज़ार रुपये डज़न हापूस घेउन सुद्धा त्याला त्या गावच्या हापूसची चव येत नाही हे खरं!

We used to sit and watch buffaloes going to river early morning. i used to find it very funny that many women from the lane used to run to collect cowdung. Then we used to have lazy break fast,Sauna Bath(in a bathroom full of smoke and steam coming from copper water heater(Water being heated using wood- called as Bamba in marathi) . Play for sometime and then have lunch(usually mangoes) then play Monopoly(called Vyapar, ) or cards, Or Lido , Or old game of Pata(made famous by Mahabharat) .(Inside the house as afternoons were very hot) My granny had antique game of Pata where we used shells as dice.
And thyen Tea (butter buicuits , Toast etc) and play in
back yard games like Dagad Ka Mati, Vishamrut, Chor police etc.
ANother favorite time pass was throwing stones at mango trees for raw manoes. And running when the owner comes out to scold.
I used to go to Masik, Sangali , Sangamner ,Nagar or Satara from Pune.
What great times. I also remember I usually had project to complete during vacation. Which I always finished during initial few days.
At night we used ot tell each other Bhutachya Goshti .(Horro stories.)
