Its been ages!!! Probably epochs if I am not wrong.
After what seems like an eternity, I am watching Tom & Jerry.
Yes, the same ol' everyone's favorite cat & mouse show ...the gut busting hilarity which has been much recognized for sending watchers into spasms of stomach aches...wait...are you making fun of me...go on...you can, but it won't hide the fact that you love it too...anyways, today's show were no different except for the fact that it ran for like 3 hours...No, I am not complaining...when it comes to T&J, the longer the merrier...
But that isn't the point. As I spent these hours watching the show, my precarious yet trust worthy memory swung nearly a decade back...somewhere around '96-'97.
Sundays!!! Aahh...the one day that both I and my brother simply waited the entire week for...nothing could ever match that excitement, that enthusiasm and that child like joy.
Not because we didn't have to go to school (hmm..well that too admittedly). But the truth is that it was one day when both of us got to spend some time with my dad...
He has always been busy...even now. Though he happens to be miles away, I am very sure that he is still in his office...but that apart, during those VK days, he always managed to take out time from his extremely busy schedule for us - we didn't care how long or how li'l that time was, but the sheer fact that he was with both of us filled us with immense joy. On most occasions, the three of us sat together and watched Tom & Jerry - I think it was aired on Cartoon Network at 3 PM during those days...and we used to laugh like crazy...sometimes, mom used to join us too...but that half an hour on Sunday was like an injection of unadulterated happiness...how the entire home used to be full of our laughter which still echoes in my ears...I still remember how I had a stomach ache after laughing so hard that I couldn't go down to play that evening...gosh, how I miss those days!!! Its days like those which always make me want to reverse time and go back...
Hmm...whatever happens, thank you so much Mr. Chuck Jones, Mr. Fred Quimby, and the duo of Hanna-Barbara :) :) :)
