Missing link between 80’s and 21’s

Now we all are living in a very busy world. None has time to give or to share. We all are busy like honeybees. But we all miss the essence of life now. We have money, all modes of entertainment but we don’t have the most precious gift of life i.e. time. As a 80’s kid I want to Share something that we miss today.

1. No Virtual life

In 80s we don’t have virtual life. We usually concentrate on our basic needs and meets. We didn’t have mobile or computer. In that time people only believe real life, real friendship.

2. No Online Games

We specially play in roads. There were not much cars, bikes then. We have plenty places like field’s parks here and there to play. We usually play games like football, kabadi etc. Mainly outdoor games were there. There were no scope to play indoor games. But sometimes kids play in their home with their brothers, sisters and cousins.

3.No Mobile Phones

We had no mobile phones then so all you can do was either wait or tension. Some families had landlines but they were very few in number. We had to send telegram or letter if we wanted to connect .But the service was too poor that sometimes the news came after the need met.

4.No Disco or night hangouts

There were no night life. No disco.no bar. Nothing. People usually returned from offices, get dinner and sleep. So basic. Isn’t it?

5. No fitness fantacies

Basically we didn’t have ideas on diet or fitness then. We get plenty of organic sabjis and fruits, desi ghee. We know neither the good effects nor the bad ones so life was pretty simpler. We know less so we thought less.

6.No Sleep apnea

Then there were no sleep apne or any kind of sleep disorders .life was pretty basic .all got sufficient sleep.no computer, no mobile , no tv , no radio nothing to interrupt ones sleep.

7.No flat culture

People in those days lived in joint families.they reared together so they had strong bonding. They standed by others when others in need or had hard time. Families fight together, suffered together and won together.

8 No Lack of values

Now a days we lack moral and ethical values.we keep our mobile phones ready to spread news and videos to share online .do virtual protests but don’t really these all mattered to us.

9. No privacy

We show off so much now a days. We make virtual friends. Hashtags are created. Friendship goals. Couple Goals. But the real flavor of friendship or being couple is missing. Our pages are flooded with pictures that we capture but our soul, our mind is blank. We share our breakfast menus, candle light dinner pictures, our vacation captures but we miss the moment then. We were busy in capturing a memorable moment to be memorize in far future but we don’t really interested to make that moment colourful in our very own hearts.

10.Simple toys

We had simple toys like bats, balls, puzzels etc. to play chess, snake and ladders, ludo, carom were plays inside homes with our friends brothers sisters and cousins. Physical involvement was much more needed then rather than mental alertness.
