To the 80's and 90's....
We are the last generation that learnt to play in the street, the
last generation who played hide and seek.
we are the first who've played video games, seen cartoons in colour
and amusement parks
We were the last to record songs of the radio on cassettes, we knew
the connection between a pencil and cassette
and
we are the pioneers of walkmans and
chat...rooms.
We Learned how to programme the VCR before anyone else, play with
the Atari, Super Nintendo and believed that the Internet would be a
free world.
We are the generation of the Giant Robot, He-Man, Street Hawk,
Thunder Cats, the Transformers, Silver Hawks, Gumby, Highwayman,
Manimal, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,
- Traveled in cars without seat belts or air-bags, rode the bike
without helmets, drinking and driving was not a crime, lived
without cell phones,
- We did not have Play stations, 99 television stations, flat
screens, surround sound, mp3s, iPods, computers and the
Internet,
...but we had time to rest our head on our grandmas lap and listen
to bed time stories, we had time to sit and watch chitrahar,
rangoli, and saturday evening movies with our
parents.
We knew how to build a sand castle on the beach, we knew how to
fish with a bend needle and a worm or live
prawn.
We knew the smell of a slate and chalk pencils. We knew the music
before the news at 7 on the radio.
We held our dads hands to wait in the bank while they drew money ,
instead of atms.
but nevertheless we had a GREAT Time!!!
yes copy and paste, but still good
