Model Answer 1:
Childhood is the best part of our life and there is none but wants to go back in 
the childhood. The days were awesome and magical. People realise the days 
when the childhood is gone and regret. I also dream to go back to my

childhood days which were filled with enjoyment. 
It was the 90s when I was a child and experienced numerous things that the 
children of the current days are unable to watch or enjoy. Presently, the age is 
advancing and with the advancement, there have been great changes among 
the family issues. I used to live in an extended family in India. The family 
consisted my parents, my grandparents, paternal uncles and their families. I 
used to meet regularly with all the relatives like my paternal uncles, aunts and 
cousins. We had a very good relation and still I share the bond with them. 
Besides, relatives from my maternal sources frequently visited us. They also 
loved me much as I was the youngest boy in my mother’s family. So, everyone 
from my maternal part loved me. My grandparents loved me much after my 
parents. Unfortunately, now they are in heaven and I pray for them. 
Since the family was bigger than the other families in the area where we lived 
in, cooking was an interesting issue. My mother used to cook for everyone at 
the family while the aunts (wives of my paternal uncles’) came to assist her. 
The cooking was done by the noon and everyone came to take their lunch. 
Traditional Indian foods were cooked every day and every member used to 
take the meal with great satisfaction. But the menu got changed following 
some religious or local occasions. I can remember that I took some rich foods 
like polaw, biriyani, different kebabs etc. during the religious occasions. 
Moreover, my mother changed the menu accordingly when guests from 
distant parts of the country came to visit use. In the morning the menu 
contained ruti, with sabji (a type of mixed vegetables) and often egg fry. A cup 
of tea or coffee followed the breakfast for everyone. During the lunch, most of 
the times, rice was cooked and was served with fishes or meats. Sometimes, 
we ate vegetables only on the supper. 
As I grew up in an extended family, I had the chance to pass my days with my 
cousins. We were around eight kids together and I was the eldest among them. 
Though I was eldest, I also had to stay under the care of Ramu Kaka. Ramu 
Kaka was our private watchman who was appointed for the kids alone. Since 
the parents could not look after the kids, they appointed Ramu Kaka to look 
after us. He used to be with us and despite his angry figure; he was too gentle 
to us. At first, we thought that he would punish us for our misdeeds but he, in 
fact, did not. Often he had hidden the misdeeds from our parents lest they 
beat us. He took all the blames on him when any of the kids broke any glass, 
plate or committed any such mess. Still, I have not found a soft man like him. 
In the early days of my life, I have done lots of mess with others while Ramu

Kaka took care of everything. 
Now I am a grown up and miss the days. When I was a kid, I used to play with 
all of my cousins including boys and girls. But now the scenario has been 
changed. All of us have become busier with our respective tasks and hardly can 
manage time to be together. I actually miss the days when all of us used to 
play different indoor and outdoor games. Most of the times, I was the winner 
in the indoor games like chess and card but my cousins performed very well in 
the outdoor games like crickets before the lawn of our house. Besides, I used 
to make fun with my sisters and often got caught with them while smoking 
cigarette secretly. In fact, I enjoyed the matters much and want to get back in 
the olden days of my childhood.
