Then
were 'Mungerilal ke hasin sapane' and 'karamchand' ...'Vikram
Betal', etc…….
How did one survive growing up in
the 80's and 90's?
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 sort of
things … and we were fearless on our bicycles even when the
brakes failed going downhill…
We were showing off how
tough we are, 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 Play Stations, MP3,
Nintendo's, I-Pods, Video games, 99 Cable TV channels, DVD's,
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…
Are
YOU from that generation?? If that's the case, email this to
all your friends from the same era…
Maybe this message
will help them forget the stress that surrounds us these
days….and just for a few moments puts a smile to their faces
as they remember what life was really like in the good old
days……
