MY GENERATION

My Generation!

We, the people born between 1950-and 1989...are the blessed ones...We are the awesome people... Our life is a living proof..........

 While playing and riding bicycles, we never bothered to wear helmets.

 After school time we played until its dusk but never watched t-world (TV).

 We played only with our real friends, not with NET friends.

 If we ever felt thirsty, we used to drink tap water but never searched for bottled water.

  We never got ill even after sharing the same juice with four friends.

 We were never put on weight even after eating plates full of sweets and rice every day.

 Nothing happened to our feet even after roaming barefoot.

 We never used any health supplements to keep ourselves healthy.

 We used to create our own toys and play with them.

  Our parents were not rich, they never ran behind money and wealth. They just searched for and gave only love.. not any worldly materials.

  We never used to share our emotions just by emoticons on mobile phones.

 We used to listen to the truth and voice of our conscience and used to write those things only in the letters, hence we never used to change our words.

 We never had cellphones, DVDs, Play stations, XBoxes, video games, Personal computers, the internet, or chat but we had many real friends.

  We used to visit our friend's homes uncalled and enjoyed food with them. We never had to call them and ask their permission to visit their home.

  Relatives were near to us so our hearts and souls were happy. Hence we never required any insurance policy.

 We may have been in Black and White photos but you can find good colourful memories in those photos........

Last is the ultimate

 We are a unique and the most understanding generation because we are the last generation who listened to their parents.... and also the first who have to listen to their children.
