To start with , Banur is my Mom's native place. Its a village in Chikmagalur district. All my summer holidays were spent there. I actually don’t remember even a single summer holiday that I spent in Mysore.We(me and Yashu) would pack our bags the day exam got over ( rather my mom packed them for us ;) ) and keep waiting for our parents to take us to Banur.And once we reached there , we would eagerly wait for the arrival of all my Cousins.

And from the next day , we would all start off :D . We would wait eagerly for breakfast and run out to meet all cousins and friends .We would start off on all games - hide and seek, kunte pille, chowka baara, carom, halli gulli mane, kalla police, pagade etc,etc . Oh my god! What fun it was. We played so many games with those tamarind seeds, small stones, broken bangle pieces, etc.Though I remember the rules of those games now , I don’t remember there names :). May be we were inventing those games and rules then and there:D
And the amazing thing was, while playing hide and seek and such running around games, we used to simply go and hide in anyone's house or backyard of the houses, without even asking them and not thinking much about it :D And even they didn’t ask us not to make noise or as to who we were or anything :D.I remember once I was hiding in some house and they had given me roti and other stuff to eat :D
And during the night , we would all sleep in the hall and in between if any of us felt hot , we would just take a chaape ( small carpet ) and go and sleep outside on the street :D It was not a tar road , but a mud one. And there would be already many people sleeping outside ;)
So many more things to write about! But this is it for the first part of the series :) More to come in future posts of this series ;) .Yashu,Raju,Teju,Dayanna - If you guys happen to read these posts , do put across your memories of those times and any correction/additions to mine :)
