Good Old Days..

Today, while chatting with friends, I suddenly heard an old song playing from a radio somewhere near, "Babuji dhire chalna.. pyaar me zarra sambhalna.." I instantly remembered the days of vivid bharti and DD-1. The magic of listening to those songs is something which can’t be described in words. There is always a binding force as what would be the next song played. And as I listened to the song I remembered our good old days of Chitrahaar.

I remember, we used to count how many songs have been played in that particular episode. And the long wait for the “new song” which usually used to be the last song of the episode!

Compare it with todays' infinite rash music played by numerous channels, continuously 24 hrs..
And add to the misery (or may be a BOON) now there is piracy, download those songs and take them along with you wherever you go..
That one hour “Disney hour” showing Tale Spin and Duck tales and today’s infinite cartoon channels all usually showcasing superman/spiderman type cartoons with some new name.. And when "The Jungle Book" was starting the song, "Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai.." brought a smile on many kids, me including.

It was fun to goto zoo/picnic and now people wait for weekends to visit some shopping malls or Food court. Families went to parks in the evenings, whereas today you would find a couple getting close in a park!
Writing a letter and waiting for the reply atlest 15 days and now write an email and if you don’t get a reply back within 5 minutes we get impatient.
Food was cooked fresh and packed in stainless steel ka dabba and now we have ready to eat microwave food packed a month before.
Those were the days of ink pen, using a ball pen was indeed a luxury in those days(Reynolds 045 was considered a class), and now I wonder if people know how to refill an ink pen!

Earlier how people used to die to steal those “cozy moments” and now people crib for “own space”...
Good Old Days...
