#ForgottenThings1
I
remember so many things from my childhood which are no more seen. Some items
are lost due to technology, which we should not repent. But there are several
things which having no connection with technology, yet have gone into disuse.
I remember all us children playing with a bicycle tyre and
enjoying it no end. It gave lots of exercise, allowed us to see the whole street
and mohalla, made several friends, learnt how to dodge traffic etc., etc. Children also raced each other to see who reached a point first.
It was easily available in nearly every home and easy to play with it. Maybe in some remote places children may still be playing with this do-it-yourself toy.

| Boy playing with cycle tyre |
A class above was the boy who had a cycle rim ! It was the
envy of the others. It was solid, shiny, made a nice metallic sound when rolling
etc., etc. All the other children begged that boy to let us roll it for a few
minutes; he obliging only a few.
i think children in small town or villages play with cycle tyre...and what about 'gilli-danda'...kancha....girls used to play 'gutti..seven small stones...remember? and in school..that 'kattam-katta...we all used to enjoy..

सच मे, पहले समय मे बच्चे टायर को एक डां दी से दौड़ाते थे, देख कर लगता था उन्हे कितना मज़ा आ रहा होगा। अभी भी गांव देहात मे ये खेलते होंगे बच्चे।
