80s and early 90s

Got this from my school buddy Dustin Stanley in facebook…well ‘Life is difficult’ is a famous line from a famous book and it’s famous for a reason :)

I am less nostalgic than most of the folks I come across but nevertheless this would be a basic reference to the 80s era.

I’m a Complan Boy(Shahid Kapoor) and
I’m a Complan Girl (Ayesha Takia) - Same question as Salma. Only that this girl should have grown up now and I’d like to see.

Surabhi : Renuka Sahane and Siddharth

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 (sathiyama true),

We also had some cheap ice stuff that we called Pepsi for some reason near Sungam Junction. It was all ours for a grand 50 paisa.

We walked to school, or sometimes we even rode our bicycle (8km up + 8km down, i stayed fit).

We had no mobile phones, but we always managed to find each other….

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!!!!

Such were the days…

Are YOU from that generation?? If that’s the case, email this to all your friends from the same era…

    Brings back old but sweet memories.

    I also remember the first mega serial ‘Hum Log’. Everybody used to watch it and that too at an All India level.

    Nostalgia seems to set in very early these days , not sure why … Most eighties folks seem to have graduated prematurely to the keeral vizhundha record community …
