If there was Ctrl+Z in life...
Nostalgic memories of those 'good old days' – the world has changed, and we have also changed for the world!
Are you missing those days? Sometimes I do...
Then there were 'Mungerilal ke hasin sapane' and 'Karamchand'... 'Vikram Betal', etc.
How did one survive growing up in the 80s and 90s?
We had no seatbelts, no airbags...
Cycling was like a breath of fresh air...
No safety helmets, knee pads, or elbow pads, with plenty of cardboards between spokes to make it sound like a motorbike...
When thirsty, we only drank tap water; bottled water was still a mystery...
We kept busy collecting bits & pieces so we could build all sorts of things, and we were fearless on our bicycles even when the brakes failed going downhill...
We showed off how tough we were by how high we could climb trees & then jumping down... It was great fun...
We could stay out to play for hours, as long as we got back before dark, in time for dinner...
We walked to school, or sometimes we even rode our bicycle.
We had no mobile phones, but we always managed to find each other... How?
We lost teeth, broke arms & legs, we got cuts and bruises and bloody noses... nobody complained as we had so much fun, it wasn't anybody's fault, only ours.
We ate everything in sight: cakes, bread, chocolate, ice cream, sweet sugary drinks, fruits... yet, we stayed skinny by fooling around.
And if one of us was lucky to find a 1-litre Coca-Cola bottle, we all had a swig from it & guess what? Nobody picked up any germs...
We did not have PlayStations, MP3s, Nintendo's, iPods, video games, 99 cable TV channels, DVDs, home cinema, home computers, laptops, chat rooms, Internet, etc...
BUT, we had REAL FRIENDS!!!!
We called on friends to come out to play, never rang the doorbell, just went around the backdoor...
We played with sticks and stones, played cowboys and Indians, doctors and nurses, hide and seek, soccer games, over and over again...
When we failed our exams, we were given a second chance by simply repeating the same grade... without visiting psychiatrists, psychologists, or counselors...
Such were the days...
We had freedom, success, disappointments, and responsibilities...
Most of all, we learned to respect others...
Maybe this message will help us forget the stress that surrounds us these days... and just for a few moments put a smile on our faces as we remember what life was really like in the old days...
