Those were the days when summer season meant vacation = fun, play and more fun, travelling in train to visit our native place.
There are the days when summer season means just another season =just grumble about the sweating when you step outside your office.
Those were the days when prime time television at 9.00 pm = classic programs like surabhi, tehkikaat, superhit muqaabala, etc etc on doordarshan
These are the days when prime time television = reality shows, saas bahu ka serials, mythological blunders and many more confusions.
Those were the days when games we played = a healthy combination of indoor and outdoor games.
These are the days when games = indoor games only if you have company, otherwise play computer games alone.
Those were the days when we played outdoor games= laggori, chur chand, hide n seek, cricket and many more.
These are the days where we play outdoor games = none. (Only watch cricket :))
Those were the days when travelling in bus or any vehicle= enjoyable, not frequent and used only when visiting distant relatives and to reach potential far places.
These are the days when travelling itself = frustration.
Those were the days when shopping = an unforgettable outing with family, roaming around many shops in many reliable shopping areas.
These are the days when shopping = malls. Full stop.
Those were the days when we were with friends in real world = talking, laughing, hanging around places.
These are the days when we are with those friends in virtual world = orkut, sometimes chatting and not even a phone call.
List would continue……
