    As a young kid I enjoyed Bhattukli A marathi word for Ghar ghar. I loved the small kitchen set, the cups and saucer and would dress up in a saree. The other favorite one was teacher teacher.As I grew older i played lagori ( I am sure many of u know this game) , Marbles , dabies pies ( the other name for hide and seek ), Chor police , cards and bandminton.

    Land-water, Vish-Amrut, Gotya (marbles), Lagori, Langdi, gilli-danda, kood-ghodi and of course, lot of games with no names (and their rules) that we made up on the go just like Calvin-ball. If these games involved equipments then the owner of the equipments always won!
