A small trip down childhood lane.......

Introduction
Was doing Sudoku yesterday with a pencil. Did one of the squares wrong, and didnt have an eraser. I dont like crossing out numbers. It disturbs my analysis.
Procedure
You know how they say " It all comes back". It did. Licked my finger to get some moisture, dried it a bit by rolling it with the thumb and rubbed it nice and slow on the square.
Result
It still works. A bit of black smudge, but the 3 i had analyzed wrongly was a goner.

Happy and elated, spent the next half hour recollecting school days and kids i know and their antics. When i returned to the puzzle, couldnt help the feeling that a kid, upon erasing a square would have gone straight ahead and finished the puzzle, or moved on to something more intresting, like building a paper boat, rather than mull or contemplate about the day he took his first step or uttered his first word or fascinate about being an adult. The best part about kids is that they dont know they will lose their innocence when they grow up.

And as soon as i finish typing this, i am going to find an eraser, apply a little oil on my hair and see if the age old printing trick still works. After that, i am going to find a magazine, and draw moustaches and beards on George Bush's photo. Must admit i did that all the way till my 10th standard, with my personal best being the beard i gave to Khudi Ram Bose portrait in my friend Ankit's 7/8th history book.
