Filename not specified.Surabhi:Renuka Sahane and SiddharthThen were 'Mungerilal ke hasin sapane' and 'karamchand' ...'Vikram Betal',etc.How did one survive growing up in the 70's, 80's and 90's?We had no seatbelts, no airbags andsitting in the back of a truck was a treat… Our baby prams had the mostgorgeous lead based colours… No such thing as tamper proof bottle tops…Opening kitchen cupboards was a breeze…as safety locks were unheard off…Cycling was like a breath of fresh air…No safety helmets, knee pads or elbow pads, with plenty of cardboardsbetween spokes to make it sound like a motorbike…When thirsty we only drank tap water,bottled water was still a mystery…We kept busy collecting bits & piecesso we could build all sort of things …and we were fearless on our bikes evenwhen the brakes failed going downhill…We were showing off how tough we are, by how high we could climb trees & then jumping down….It was great fun….We could stay out to play for hours,as long as we got back before dark, in time for dinner… We walked to school,or sometimes we even rode our bike.We had no mobile phones,but we always managed to find each other…. How? No one knows…We lost teeth, broke arms & legs,we got cuts and bruises and bloody noses….nobody complained as we had so much fun, it wasn't anybody's fault, onlyours We ate everything in sight, cakes, bread, chocolate, ice-cream, sweetsugary drinks, yet,we stayed skinny by fooling around.And if one of us was lucky to find a 1 litre coca cola bottle we all had aswag from it & guess what?Nobody picked up any germs...We did not have Play Stations, MP3, Nintendo's, I-Pods, Video games, 99 Cable TV channels, DVD's, Home Cinema, Mobile phones, HomeComputers, Laptops, Chat-rooms, Internet, etc ... BUT, we had REALFRIENDS!!!!We called on friends to come out to play, never rang the doorbell, just wentaround the back… We loved being let loose in the big bad world… withoutbodyguards… We played with sticks and stones, doctors and nurses, hide andseek, soccer games, over and over again…When we failed our examswe were given a second chance by simply repeating the same grade… withoutvisiting psychiatrists, psychologists or counselors… Such were the days…We had freedom, success, disappointments and responsibilities. ..Most of all, we learned to respect others…
