My Childhood and Now

 my childhood

my childhood saw citra, limca, gold spot in glass bottles with another marble neck top-up lemon soda in silica smothered bottles

but today's generation is high on sugar diet cokes, Pepsi and ThumsUp in LDPE Bottles craving up for junk food

my childhood saw barf gola, pepsi-cola, poppins, nutrine maha lacto, coffee bite and mango bite with a top up of orange candy

this generation is getting addicted to chocolatey bars with zero nutrition literally.

my childhood I listened to 'tere dard se dil aabaad rahaa', to 'tu jab jab mujhko pukaare'

This generation is listening to routine 'love songs with no meaning at all

my childhood saw 1 np, 2 np, 5 np, 10 np, 20 np, 25 np, 50np, 1 rp, 2 rp, 5rp, 10rp, 20rp coins along with ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100 currency notes

this generation is contented with ₹888.00

My generation witnessed Radio and Cassette Tapes for Audio, Silver Iodide Coated Poly Vinyl Photographic Film of 36 Exposure Rolls and 2½" Floppy Diskette and 3¼" Floppy Diskette, CRT TV and Ahuja PAS

This Generation is Happy with Multimedia on Air.
