Its the Hide & Seek, something came in the mind??

The Chupan-Chupai (Hide & Seek)

The name itself ‘Chupan-Chupai’ takes us back to the memories of our formative years where we all share the experiences of this lovely Galli Game. This game has its long history not because of our parents and grandparents had played this game but also because The Lord Krishna himself used to play this with all his ‘Gopala’s (friends).But this fun games have got disappeared somewhere among the urban classes as now the life has been changed rapidly. Nowadays, children prefer to spend their time playing video games and indoor games more then the outdoor ones.

But the Chupan-Chupai (Hide and Seek) is still very famous and a regular activity among children of rural areas. Well for those who are not aware of it, the game is played between the groups in which there are no limitations to the members involved and they decide the boundaries in which the game has to be played. In this game one player has to locate all other players who hide themselves in the pre defined area. The player who remains unlocated till the end is declared winner among others. The players who do finding used the word ‘abc Express’ (where abc is players name) to make the other person out of the game by finding him seeking in some place.

Well the game goes on and on and not ends until there mother calls them back to home or they really do have some important work or ‘Majboori’. So, I guess….. You too are thinking the same as I am, all willing to play na…khaash!!! But anyway the game is really great and will never loose its impact.
