Memories of a simpler time

A time before computers, video games, job, college, I-pod etc.


1) In pin septi pin, in pin out, take your septi pin and get out

2) oh god please tell me which one will be the denner in this very fairy (?!) game, A, E, I, O, U and that spells on YOU!

3) no backs!

4) Majorityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Wins!

5) nuthout!, bye-runner, mini-over, one-time out, two-time out, 2 declared, Sarpatti

6) Thappa, Time Please


anyone remember any more?

1)Bubble gum bubble gum in a dish
how many bubble gums do u wish?
(TEN) T-E-N . ten . out.

...(once again)...bubble gum bubble gum...

2) I always thought 'in pin' was
"in pin septi pin , in pin out.
khelna hai toh khelo , warna get out."
well i guess , we suburb kids were a little more 'hindi-gitalised' !

3) What about 'current run out' ?

4) Each 'pheki ball' would be a 'no ball'

5) And the all time classic
"aada paada kaun pada , mama-ji ka ghoda pada...aam -daam- buss....
tu ne mara dhusss!"

6) The girls always had some moaning 'oooh aaah' claaping game that began with
...'Uma Joshi (?)
yaay yaay yaay....
My mamaji (sic) told me ten years ago....
there came a lady knocking on the door...
with a OOOhhh Aaaahhh
..i want some paaaah(?!) ..'*
.....and then my memory fails me (as I am trying to get after having fallen of my chair laughing my ass of)

*confirmation needed from a female source

Oo maa joshi yay yay yay,
My mother, she told me sixty years ago,
There came a lady knocking at the door,
with a "ooh aah I want some paah ('pie' a la southern accent)
The paah is sweet, I want some meat,
The meat is tough, I want to go by bus,
The bus is full, I want to go by bull,
The bull is fat, I want my money back,
The money is green,
I want some cherry beans,
The cherry beans are red,
I want to go to bed,
The bed is white and a good good night!

ROFL!
