People know about games played at national or state level- Cricket, football, hockey, tennis, swimming, etc.
But do we remember our childhood games. Funny, it may sound, but the names gilli danda, vish amrit, chhupan chhupai, chain- chain, still bring a smile on faces. For those who do not know, these are childhood games, which we used to play when we were young.
I am attempting to log down these games one by one. For some reason, I think I should do it. Future generations should have some insights into what we used to play.
If you know of certain games, which I have missed, please feel free to share that information. It would be fun to have a repository of Childhood games- may be this way we will live our childhood once again ;-)
Before we begin, lets divide the teams. How to do that?
O' don't worry. We have a lot of tricks up our sleeves to do that
Lets start with Pugata(Pugai or pugan ka pugata)
All bring your hands together and place them one over the another, palm down. Now all of us will fly our hands in one shot. Palm up- one side...palm down another side...it has to be equal in number and should be repeated till we have two equal teams. Sounds simple ! It is and fair as well...
