PEOPLE SPEAK PAGE #1
WHAT IS THE ONE THING
PEOPLE THAT YOU MISS MOST AFTER
SPEAK GROWING OLDER?
We grow up too quickly and childhood
becomes a memory. However, every
person has some reflection of their
past in their today’s personality,
behavior and habits. It is easy to say
to live in the moment, but most of the
time we are menacing over our past
and missing our childhood. There are
many experiences that people still miss
after growing up.
We asked our radio listeners and adults
what is one childhood thing they miss
after growing up, we got
the top list. These people
believe that childhood
were the best years of
their lives.
All the pampering
from Family and
friends
Yes, as a child that
is what the biggest
attraction is. “All the pampering we got
from family and friends. I yearn for it.”
Amita Agarwal.
Carefree days without a
worry in the world
Adulthood brings in a lot of
responsibilities. They are never the
same as the growing up days. “Being
a child and living a carefree life is what
I miss the most”. Milan Sasmal
“I would steel my father’s bicycle most

afternoons when he would be sleeping, and was gone
for hours. I knew that I would just get a scolding when I
returned which was not a bad trade off. It did not bother
me at all”. Joseph a radio listener said.
Grandparents
Grandparents are a big attraction growing up. Most of us
do not see them after we have become adults. They are
missed hugely. They dote on their grandkids, fulfil all their
needs and desires. They become a part of growing up.
They missing, is a big vacuum in one’s life. According to
Sreyoshi Sanyal “My grandparents and all their undiluted
pampering is what I miss the most”.
Playing Outdoors
until sundown
Growing up were the
times when there were
no social media and
digital distractions. It
was also safe to play
outside. Shahin Ibrahim
our radio listener misses
those years the most and
remembers how they would just go out to play.
Playing pranks
“My memories of childhood are about playing pranks.
Ringing the bell and running away. Crank phone calls in
the middle of the night. Or scaring someone suddenly.
Those we could only do as a child and also get away
with it. And, we laughed the longest on those pranks.
Now when I think about it, we were sometimes mean. But
then we were just children and those were the best days”.
