Gone are those days
When we used to rush to the terrace
To have a glimpse of the helicopter.
Gone are those days
When we looked upon 'Shaktiman'
As our superhero and inspiration.
Gone are those days
When we dreamt of Sanju’s magic pencil
To fulfill our desire and will.
Gone are those days
When the sound of the bell
Meant the 'Kulfiwala' for us.
Gone are those days
When every year sheathing books
Was exhilaration for us.
Gone are those days
When the vacation was meant
for Meeting Grandma for us.
Gone are those days
When wearing new clothes and distributing chocolates
Was Birthday celebration for us.
Gone are those days
When playing with boys and girls
Was the definition of equality for us.
Gone are those days
When we were kids
And rest is unforgettable memory for us.
