Then were 'Mungerilal ke haseen 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??

Memories that can never be forgotten!!!

You Must Have Felt Like This!!!

There are times in life.. When.. You are the center of attention.. Everything is focussed on you.. Plans are made according to you... You are the plan.. Or the plan doesn't happen..  Everybody you know.. Loves you.. Envies you.. You may not have much.. But still.. You seem happy ...lifes good.. And then... Slowly.. Things start changing... Ppl don't smile anymore.. You are there.. But you become transparent.. Your existence is not important anymore..your phone doesn't ring that much.. Ppl dint take your calls.. Don't return your messages.. Invitations dwindle..  Even where you are invited.. Your presence is not registered.. Friends don't have time for you.. Are you still reading..? Well.. And then your choices don't matter.. What you like is not imp.. What you don't like is..oh come on you are so damn fussy.. You wonder from being intelligent.. Well read.. Imp lively person.. How DId you become this unimportant person.. Why are you not imp anymore.. Where...

Anything For You

This was tld to me by one of my frnd.. Once she happened to walk on a rope bridge, since it was very high she got scared.. so she started calling the name of her frnd who was with her so that she could get some help bt unfortunately he didnt pay any attenetion towards her even though he could hear her calling.. then some how she managed and crossed the bridge... there after crossing the bridge she was shocked coz she could see her him holding the end of the broken bridge... Now you might be wondering why i told you people this story its just because sometimes we think why our friends are keeping quite knowing our situation (i knw some times its not always the same)... He might not help you crossing the bridge but he might be holding the broken bridge for you... Just trust your friends in all situations, because they are your friends... As best as you are to me, As best no one can ever be, I know life is too hard to choose but, You are one among those, Whom i never want to...

Missing My Days!!!

When the school reopened in June, And we settled in our new desks and benches!  When we queued up in book depot, And got our new books and notes!  When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers...  We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!  When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to Color pencils and finally sketch pens!  When we started calculating first with tables and then with Clarke's tables and advanced to Calculators and computers!  When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms Drenched in sweat! When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors, Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds!  When all the colors in the world, Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays! When a single P.T period in the week's TimeTable was awaited more ...
