On Children’s Day, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar took a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about his childhood and the mischief he and his friends engaged in. He shared the nostalgia on X, saying, “Childhood is incomplete without a bit of mischief. When I was a kid, my friends and I would flatten the tyres of the cars parked in Sahitya Sahwas. The thorough professionals that we were, our job wasn’t done until ALL 4 tyres were flattened.”
Encouraging his fans to join in, he asked them to share their own mischievous childhood memories. “Rewind the time and tell me the naughtiest thing you did as a child, while I go check on my car tyres. Happy #ChildrensDay!”

Another person shared, “As a child, I used to love treating every stick as a cricket bat. I broke many Lathis (walking stick) of my granddad while practising cricket shots.”
“Playing cricket in the sun while mom shouted to get inside,” added a third person.
Someone humorously mentioned, “That’s crazy! I used to throw water balloons at the cars passing by our street. One time, I hit a police car, and they chased me all the way to my house. I had to hide under the bed.”
Reflecting on childhood, a person said, “Childhood is when there is a lot of fun, no unwanted social pressure, things going through the present…”
Another shared, “As kids – during summer break, my cousins and I used to ring the doorbell of a neighbor and run off. They had dogs, and we teased them, running while they barked away! God, those days were fun! And with tyres, we have done that too!”
“During our travels in Haryana Roadways, we used to travel without tickets, sitting on the roof. Whenever the ‘Jhota Flying’ (ticket checker bouncers) came for us, we used to jump from the bus into the farms. Those days, Jhota Flying was notorious, and if caught, they used to make Shaktiman out of the boys. Incredible days,” added another user.
