The early mornings and the evenings when you as ardent lovers of cricket filled the cricket fields, gone are those days. Children today love the Cricket and FIFA from the luxury of their couches. Gone are the days when watching TV was an exercise, now we have remotes. Gone are those days when you had 2 years wait list for landline connections, now its mobile in seconds. Gone are the days of tape recorders, now its iPods. Gone are the days when people looked at who's talking, now hey look at their phones and only hear you talking.
Gone are the days of calmness, of ease, of subtle emotions and of life's little romances. Now, life's fast, instant, "on the go" and lost in competition. Everyone is now involved in a rat's race. A race that has no finish line. An endless race into the darkness. The real life is now lived in virtual world; but virtual, no matter how good, can never replace the real.
"No news is good news." But what we have today is an overload of news. News that never leaves you for a second. Spending time with yourself is the most difficult thing today. Life is constantly under pressure of "dead"lines, results and a constant struggle to do this day-in and day-out.
Gone are he days when people felt what they bought, now its eBay. Everything is instant. The times when you could watch a single movie again and again, now they charge you all that money for one viewing. Gone are the days of nimbu pani, now its Coke. Gone are the days of Scooter India and LML scooters, its porches, audis, mercs and BMWs now.
The world has globalised now, it's now a global village. A village where there is a constant strive for urbanisation. A village where people know all about Egypt but little about their own localities. A village where there is constant effort to outwit the other. The times of soft politics. Change is the only constant thing and there is nothing we could do to bring back the Kumar Sanus, the Kapil Devs, the Mario or the Nehrus. All we could do is long for it and admit Gone are those days....
