Question for 25th July 2011.....

The question is which part of the 1990s did you love the most and you wish that it had never changed??? That special something for which you would like to go back to your childhood days.....or are you happy with the way things are now???

P.S. One common thing which more or less everyone will think about is terrorism....as it has escalated a lot in the last 10 years and obviously everybody would want the people of this country to live in the safer environment......so please avoid that and look into something else.....

Less crowded mumbai trains
some lovely t.v shows(ducktales,small wonder,surabhi,different strokes and so many more...) that i used to watch
Going to market with granny for buying bangles
Playing after school for hours
Participating in so many music events and competitions,those incredible fun practise sessions(now all i do is watch people sing on t.v)
Going to granny's place for vacations
Going in trains to native places with the entire family(these days u have flight morning u leave,meet ur cousins,relatives,spend a day/two,next day again return back,and to add to that everyone is busy so entire family going together is like)
But i guess thats how it is :Das someone said above times changed,i also changed!

I guess all of us out here grew up in the 1990s......things have changed a lot in the past decade or so........studies have gained much more importance......Maruti 800 and Ambassadors have been replaced by numerous other cars.....technology has affected almost every part of our life in some way or the other.....and so on......

I wont say life has become tough but i'll say life has changed it's meaning and why not when time never waits for anybody how can we wait and think the time to come back????ENJOY the moments we have today and MISS the moments that passed by.;)

Cable TV. I mean, I had Doordarshan and only had to decide if I really wanted to watch what was showing or not. Now I desperately scan through over 100+ channels to see if there is anything worth watching. After wasting time channel surfing I usually end up watching either a movie or an episode of a series I have already seen. In the olden time, I would have just gone out and played or picked up on one of my hobbies

P.S: Don't even get me started on these news channels and their "breaking news."

Well, there are loads which I miss from the 90's .. the most being the pace of life, or should I say, SLOW pace of life.

Since then, life has changed so much, I don't remember when was the last time when I had time to myself free from nuances / tension.

Kahan gaye wo din jab hum ghanto apne doston ke saath faaltu ki baatein kara karte the ( except for the hostel days in engg.), when we could reach out to everybody when none had a cellphone, when we had picnics/trips together.

I know, the number of channels on the TV has increased many folds, but do we really enjoy the TV as much we did it in the past ?

Be it Chandrakanta, Mahabharata, Byomkesh Bakshi, Tehkikaat, cartoon shows on Metro post school in the evening, SURABHI .. aah, there are so many of them. And these shows were so good that, we still remember their names. I bet, none can recall what we saw couple of days back.

I found this thread on FB which relates to this question. Hope you find it interesting.

I still have the 500 odd cricket cards collected from Big Babool and Center Fresh.....and the 200 odd football cards too which used to come out during the World Cups......for tatoos it was Loco Poco.....and I also have my catapult and marbles......which were used to steal fruits from the neighbour's garden.....

2)summer vacations which often revolved around visiting our grandparents :D

3) Anyone whose best cricketers are Rahul dravid, Saurav ganguly and Sachin tendulkar..must have grew up in 1990's..

4)When 'playing' meant playing outdoors only...cricket and games like 'lock and key' ,'running and catching', 'chor-police'

4)you grew up in India in 1990s when 'made in India' by alisha chinoy' was your best song'

5)You thought seeing English movies and speaking English made you the coolest thing ever.:w00t:

6)When you didn't watch bold scenes infront of your parents..and even in alone kissing scenes on television were puke inducing for you..(nowadays 7 year old kids are used to it) :|

7)There were no Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Puma- --Bata and Liberty were the hot favourites

8 )Maruti, Fiat and Ambassador were the only cars you saw on road..Bigger the car, cooler it was for you

9)Seemingly senseless acronyms like SRK, DDLJ, DTPH, KKHH actually make sense to you......

10) Campa cola and Gold spot

11)You remember the 'doodh doodh piyo glass full doodh' ad and also the 'laal kaala peela, gulabi hara neela classic hai badia bristles wala' and 'roz khao ande' ads.

12)You remember the Nirma jingle and the Nirma girl.

13)When status symbols were cool tiffin boxes and water bottles and amount of cricket-cards you got free with chewing gums

14) You have read chacha choudhary atleast once

15)You learnt LOGO and BASIC in school!

16)You couldn't wait to start 4th standard so you could start writing with PENS instead of with pencils!

17)You have at some point debated who was more beautiful- Aishwarya or Sushmita.

18 ) When you used to buy disgusting tasting chewing gums just for tattoos and cricket cards

Pre Cell Phone Era.Back in the 90s,in the classroom,in a coaching class,a gathering with friends/relatives did not involve cell phone as an aspect.There was more interaction.Nowadays,right after a class gets over,almost everyone is busy checking out his/her cell phones for the missed calls/messages.In a so called family/friend gathering,people spend a considerable amount of time fiddling with their cell phones rather than interact.What was meant to bring people closer has actually got us farther.I wish the pre cell phone days were back.

2 things-
I rarely see kids these days goin out and playin with friends, instead sit back home playin computer games or doin home work (sadly school/tution pressure more )
Mobile phones are indispensible these days, and many of us prefer havin more time spent either talkin over the phone or textin... Whereas earlier, we used to spend quality time with friends and family by visitin them personally or vice-versa :).

Increasing prices of daily use products.

Increasing rate of crime which was very rare 10 years back.

Movies of Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda etc. during 1990's.

Value of products such as color television, mobile, computer etc. Sab kachra ho gaya hai aajkal.

One significant change i see is the increase in purchasing power of people. The two-wheeler market in small cities and towns used to be dominated by TVS XL Super. Nowadays even Apaches and Pulsars are commonplace in small towns.

For me its the games children play nowadays.......when I was a kid I used to play cricket, football, table tennis, hide n seek, kabaddi and many such outdoor games........

But nowadays cricket and Soccer stands for EA Sports cricket and EA Sports FIFA.......videogames and computer games have taken over......

But to be fair to them, children now are made to take tutions right from class 2-3 and hence they are running after school for tutions and all and so they hardly have any time left for outdoor recreation and the body too gets tired.....

mine was when I got my job

Had a cgpa of only 5.96
So was up drinking all night as it was my birthday and in grief of seeing another company go by..
Next day the company came and said "all those hopeful of getting 6 cgpa by the end of this sem may also sit"
was woken up by friends who rushed to tell me the news as my cell was switched off from my last night heroics :drinking:
And I converted it ..
and moreover in the afternoon my parents called me up to say
said nothing new .. classes hai and all

But at night when I got selected I called up to tell them .. My dad was like

Too bad didn't tell the news to them in person ..
But my mom dad were literally in tears listening to the news ..
I don't remember listening to him being so happy

bas ab ek dhaansu se mba college se dhaansu si job leni haii
so that this time I can tell them in person and see the expressions I missed last time

There are some incidents which will always be the most memorable ones.I would share them in the order of their occurrence:p.

1)The day I topped my school Xth exams- Since class 9th,a teacher of mine had a grudge against me.He hated me like anything(as I had complained against him to the principal that he doesn't teach much in class and wastes time in trash talking) So everyday in his class,I would either be getting punishment,slapped or scolded.I had even stopped attending classes in 9th due to all this.But had to attend classes during boards.He had also declared openly in school that I won't be able to top the boards.So the result was a sweet revenge.

2)The day I cleared my IIT JEE screening.That was a dream come true.

3)The day my nephew Kshitij was born.I cried badly on that day,because of the sheer happiness.

4)The night I proposed my 23rd April,2009 12:20am to be precise Had not pre-planned anything though the feeling was there.In between the casual talk over the phone,I said "Will you marry me? " And I was dancing after the reply I got

Quite a few.....

The day I got together with someone special......in fact the entire period...the first few days......
(P.S. This doesn't mean the days after that have not been memorable.... )

The day my brother was born....not my own brother.....my cousin...7 years younger to me.....I have always looked at him as my own brother....we used to stay in a joint family and so we lived together.....

The day I got my first job.....the day I converted IIM I.....I didn't join but this will always be my first ever convert.... (hopefully not my only... )

India winning the World Cup......was watching with parents......after the win when Sachin ran out and high-fived an official I just couldn't control my tears and went to my room and cried my heart out.....a dream had come true.....watched the remaining celebration later in youtube......

2008 Wimbledon final.....Nadal v Federer.....I still feel shivers down my spine thinking about that match......some match it was.....

I have 2 MAJOR phobias


2)Stray-dog-o-phobia :...Well what to say...my city has tooo many stray dogs...people say they are harmless...but at night i don't know what happens to them...they simply chase any vehicle...sometimes walking people as well...it is scary when there are 15+ of them...

well my friend from ahmedabad used to face this menace and he has very simple but effective weapon to scare those 15+ dogs whenever he used to encounter such notorious gang he used to roarrrr,God gifted mimicry ,then Dogs used to say in their language"bhago sher ka baap aa gaya nai toh hum sab ka watt laga dega"..... used to dissapear within seconds

I have 2 MAJOR phobias

1)Cockroach-o-phobia.....cockroach is one creature which i am afraid of since childhood...there is no particular reason...i am afraid of cockroaches (big and small) specially flying ones scare the hell out of me.....i am afraid of similar looking insects as well...that is one reason i do not stay over night in my native village...There are many incidents happened due to it...it happens so many times that i simply run into the other room leaving everything else and tell my mom/dad to do away with the cockroach....when i see it on the street...i walk around it but do not "disturb" it..;)...Ladies n Gentlemen...if cockroaches are troubling you,don't ask me for help...i would be the 1st person to run away...:biggrin: :biggrin:

2)Stray-dog-o-phobia :...Well what to say...my city has tooo many stray dogs...people say they are harmless...but at night i don't know what happens to them...they simply chase any vehicle...sometimes walking people as well...it is scary when there are 15+ of them...(even osama bin laden wud be helpless against 15+ stray dogs....)..But my case is different....i sometimes take longer routes to reach home..(sometimes ridiculously longer) or my destination coz of the gangs of dogs on the shorter route...sometimes i wish i had a shotgun for defence......

Today's question ( 20th July ) :
Tell us, what would you be, if not what you are now ?

i would have been a singer;)..i like singing a lot

PS : Asking this question because of a reason ;)

Somehow I haven't been able to celebrate a care free b'day yet.....my b'day is on 26th Nov.....

I grew up in Shillong till class 10....a cold place.....where we had a long 3 month winter vacation......and no summer vacation......so our final exams were held before the winters.....from the last week of November-first week of December......so 26th Nov was usually an exam day or a study day between two papers.....

Class 11 and 12 I was in Kolkata......but schedule was too hectic.....school to coaching and all....plus not many friends and relatives here....so no celebration as such......

4 years of enginnering and yet again odd semesters were held around last week of November-first week of December.......and my fellow enginners will probably be knowing how valuable the last week before a semester is.......

First b'day in corporate world coming up in a few months.....I'll take my CAT date before that......and hopefully I wont have a deadline to meet on the 27th of Nov.......


P.S. Happy Birthday......
P.P.S. I did celebrate b'days from class 1-10....but those were belated ones after exams.......10-12 days after the actual date.....and celebrations were with family and friends around......nothing spectacular that stood out.....just the usual.....fun, games, gifts and good food.....

First things first. Sayan Saar/Sire/Sir :p

All my birthdays rock - My first birthday was almost like a wedding party :w00t:
No bride or groom though. Subsequently, it was a gala social affair till Class Xth or so. After that, it was a quiet family celebration at home and jolly time with friends. Lets see what comes next

Anyways, I feel extremely special,blessed and loved on all my birthdays.

P.S. : I wish I had more birthdays in a year I don't mind having 12 birthdays a year

Hmmm...

Just quoting this as an aside, coz experienced it just this month. A take on how disconnected our life has become, how far we have become from our own friends.

I don't celebrate my birthday, haven't done so in ages. Only in Bschool where I was staying with batchmates did they celebrate it with me. This year, on my bday, this happened:

Phone Calls: 8
SMSes: 7
Chats over BBM: 7
Chats over Gtalk: 4
Personal Mails: 3
Facebook Messages: 3

Thread on PG: 38 (never expected this, honestly. Been ages since I've been truly active, yet getting wishes...)

And, wait for it, the major count:
Facebook Wall Posts: 153.


Have we truly moved so apart from our friends that we think that the best way to communicate nowadays is to throw them a wall post on FB, which, btw, is simply the equivalent of an orkut scrap?

Think about it.

Grondmaster

Chemistry my biggest obstacle lest i would have been topper of IIT.infact it was not exactly phobia but a kind of deep aversion towards chemistry and chemistry teacher.
actually one day chemistry teacher during pre board exam results told me physics,maths mei 99% laane se apne aap ko bada tees maar khan mat samajh chemistry mei 9 number koi bada acheivemnt nai hai and insulted infront of my GF ab mereko laga teri ***** mei tees maar khan nai uska ka baap hun voh bhi tereko jaldi pata chal jaayega
i recall in chemistry lab using the concept of mechanics(one of my favorite topic in physics) i placed loads of test tubes if mixed in large vessel could make a small harmless explosion with surface which i placed beneath the seat where the teacher sits and takes attendance.so as he sat see the beauty of mechanics when teacher sat my
action plan 1 mechanism worked and there was explosion after that..... actually this was sweeter revenge thought of taking much bitter revenge(action plan 2 using electricity,calculus methods to give him minor shock such that his wife would say"phuti kismat hai meri kisse shaadi kia ab bache kaise honge" but mere andar ka bola isse bachha(teacher) samajhkar maaf karde)
All izzz well

Ailurophobia : Irrational fear of cats

P.S. : On googling, I found I share my phobia with Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Ceasar , Alexander the Great and Adolf Hitler

Question for 21st July
Share an incident were you tried to help someone or did something good for others, but it backfired.

I was in 5th semester. One of classmates ( I did/do not get too well along with him ) from school was madly into one of my closest college buddies. In a bid to woo her, the guy used to ask me things about the lady and strangely, I complied ( Yeah, I was that considerate ). Once he called me while I was in a lab and I took his call.

By the next hour, my pictures of talking on phone in the lab were all over a social networking site :splat:

The caption was "Caught red-handed ! "

I had a hard time in taking that picture off the net and convincing everyone ( I cared about ) that it was a philanthropic gesture

P.S. : The couple mentioned above are together till date. And the lady acknowledges my effort I put to get them together ;)

P.P.S. : The picture was taken by the guys of my class who had nothing to do in the lab except

P.P.P.S. : I hate paparazzi

P.P.P.P.S. : I guess I'm quite sought after in the "relationship advice industry"

I have exam phobia. When i was in 10th standard everyone believed that i would make it to board merit list, there was tremendous pressure during that time. Even in my engineering college though i used to study for 12-14 hours and always thought that i would never be able to write in my exam. So now i am at peace. (because passed my engg exam with good marks)

Zeitgeist

He was troubling me a lot, continuously roaming around me buzzing and sucking the hell out of me. But the saint in me decided to reward him rather than punishing him.I decided to help him in attending Nirvana, the greatest thing on earth.I was ready,my hands gathered a huge potential force..and just at the moment the divine act was to be completed, it disappeared.All I was left with a tight slap on my face, by my own hands.
Still don't know where that mosquito is.
