The good old days, when each idea had an owner, are gone forever - Paulo Coelho I am growing old - this is not a sudden revelation nor is it rocket science to find it. Time is a linear element and hence physically we grow. I'm talking about mental ageing. A few months back is when I got into this mode when both my kids used to say "Iyyooo Appa, stop this during my younger days stories" It was these words which made me stop and think - have I grown older really. I always felt that I was much younger in mental age compared to my physical counterpart - not in terms of development but in terms of enjoying life. There has been a sudden change which has occurred that has triggered me now to think back on those olden days. Am I missing it? Am I satiated with latest technology? Am I really old now and just got to accept it? Well these thoughts surround me a lot now-a-days and I am still figuring out the answer. In the process of figuring the answer I went back in time and found a lot of enjoyment. In this joyous space is where I am composing this blog - I want all to enjoy or go back in time to relish those golden moments. Many of us would have experienced this or still experiencing this but I want to find out really which is better. So what would change if I knew the answer - I don't know but I want to let my curiosity to run till it looses energy. In that unrestricted journey back in time I found the following: 1. Time was lot SLOWER in the 80s 2. The WANTS were LESS and CONTENDED were MORE 3. Entertainment was PURE and GENUINE 4. Need for SPEED was not the first priority while STEADINESS was. 5. The only ABUNDANCE was home work, all others were SCARCE So let me try to lay down what was available back then and try to arrive at the answer if possible.
