Sometimes….. (Idle moments) when it hits me how complex our lives have become….then I wish... I was born say... 2 generations ago….the black and white times……everything would have been little simpler…..
Imagine, people would have been more original….
Lesser needs (not wants I guess) ….hence no rush to earn more….. Hence one could ease off a lill by the end of the day…
Letters and not emails...
No suffocation in the name of fashion
You could choose arts over science even if you performed well
Knowledge was divine…. Not street smartness
Modesty.
More aware about neighborhood, past, nature.
They valued their identity (or so I believe)
It wasn’t gay for a guy to wear jholas in his shoulders.
We didn’t need gyms. We didn’t need perfect bodies.
Their lifestyles took care of their fitness.
And most importantly… we believed in simple pleasure of life. Example- rain
Now… damn! Who has the time? We are in air conditioned cages!
P.S.: It’s from the eyes of a romantic.
May be fashion did exist.
May be money did matter.
There were fakes too.
Vainglorious men did exist. (I agree that’s sexist!)
But this is how I imagine past to be like…
Probably the utopian one.
wow! it's an enticing piece of work.. u have beautifully expressed wot our present day clumsy lives are like..kudos :D
