Have a read…

Ssharaad Malhotraa: The best part of childhood days were my summer vacations because that was the time when I never had to worry about anything. No studies, exams or assignments. I would play with my friends all day, go for bicycle rides, explore outdoors and then sleep peacefully at night, which is something not found today. If ever again I get a chance to be a kid, I would love to go back to those vacations where I didn't have to be worried about anything!

Mrunal Jain: My childhood was spent in Mumbai and contrary to what people say, it was a great place to grow up. I had tons of building friends and we played and did a lot of masti. I also remember going out with my parents and gorging on yummy ice-creams. I really wish I could get those days back. So many priceless memories are there. It was incredible.

Jay Soni: Being a kid was so much fun. I was a total brat, by the way. I was pampered like anything. Whatever I wanted, I would have it the next day. Also, I got away with a lot of masti while my other friends weren't as lucky! I wish I can still be forgiven for all the masti I do now! But still, I would like to be a spoiled brat again if given a chance where my mistakes were forgiven and was loved excessively!

Rashami Desai: While I was an introvert who opened up later, I was never far away from playing a prank on my classmates in school! Having said that, I was quite a disciplined girl because my mother was a teacher. The fact that I participated in cultural activities opened me up. But if given a chance, I would any time chose that period of my life where I could go back to and prank someone! 

Ravi Dubey: I grew up in Delhi and I had a rocking childhood. There was just no stress. Nothing that was outside my building and school walls mattered to me. I remember being quite excited whenever I would go to amusement parks and fun fairs with my parents. I really cherish those sweet memories. 

Vivian Dsena: As a kid I was a very active athlete. I was very competitive and wanted to push the envelope in any sport I played. I had a special spot for football and played it in my school and in my area. It was good that I was never told off by any adult, when I was pursuing sports. I am thankful to them for that. But yes, the memories of playing sports are something I really cherish.

Shashank Vyas: My childhood was all about playing out with friends, being pampered by my parents and being a very naughty child. One thing I didn't like was video games. My friends would play video games like Contra and Mario and I would be dragging them away to come out and play for real. It's just a good habit I feel. To go back in time, I would choose the grounds outside my building where I played literally thousands of hours of cricket.

Mohammad Nazim: In school, I was a very good kid. I was never in trouble; had great friends and the teachers too were good with me. The most I enjoyed was during my school picnics. We would sing in the bus, enjoy at the picnic spot and narrate ghost stories if it was an overnight picnic. We would also prank our teachers there. Nothing very serious, but we would put salt in the tea and then just wait for reaction. It was hilarious. I wish I could go back in time on one of those picnics.
