::Magic of Nineties::

Suddenly I am all nostalgic. Growing up in nineties was so much fun. The magic refuses to fade or maybe I am getting old 

1) Remember Captain Vyom, it was a cult – didn’t Milind Soman look delightful? The space chronicle and the villains of the universe totally hooked my young mind.
Then there was Aarohan , a TV serial about youth in Navy starring Pallavi Joshi – I have watched its episodes a zillion times, and every time Wing Cmdr Sidhharth Khurana came into frame, my heart would jump out
Watching TV was a pleasure and then came Ekta and her gang. 
2) Love was still innocent. Stealing glances and passing love notes. When knees became jelly, heart skipped beats and the smile refused to fade on sitting next to your crush.
Short skirts and Fast-track watches were not a medium to hog attention.
Love wasn’t Kamina and Kambhaqt and Dum Maro Dum was a melody.
3) I adored Divya Bharati.
4) When a horde of tuition classes were not required to top the class.
5) Language was clean and cuss words weren’t in fashion. Those hush hush words that have now replaced nouns and pronouns. 

6) He-man, Hercules, Little Mermaid, Alladin – Power packed Sundays

Remember Tap Tap Topi Topi Top Mein Jo Doobe, Far Far Farmaishi Dekhen Hain Ajoobe…… Gugli Chhilak Jaaying!!! …
7) Maggi wasn’t a staple food.
8 ) Recess was spent in exchanging foreign stamps, looking for the best bargain {yeah I was pretty shrewd back then :P} and being a Numismatic (coin collection) was totally stylish.
9) We climbed trees, played cricket, stapoo and langadi taang. Evenings were meant for running around even with scraped knees, rolling in dust and watching the sun go down.
I still remember sneaking out on Helper bhaiya’s Hero cycle to learn cycling and volunteer to walk the neighbor’s dog Pluto. Though it would always end up dragging me behind and fighting with all the other dogs in the park.
10) Having fun wasn’t equivalent to shopping spree or alcohol parties  . And life didn’t feel like it’s fleeting away 
11) Above all Kids won’t call you Aunty. Oh the horror!!!! 
So how were your growing up years?? What makes you nostalgic?

    Things are changing. I think the world has changed a lot since 90s.

    I agree with you.
