I am so fortunate to belong to a generation that saw love, trust and commitment over ride over all differences and celebrate a Golden Jubilee of togetherness. A generation that saw clean and pure entertainment in black-and-white when Chitrahaar, Nukkad, Wagle Ki Duniya and Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi ruled Prime Time and bought families together. A generation that played OUTDOOR cricket, hockey and football on a rainy
day. A generation that was untouched by the mall culture and played in lush green gardens or simply rode the BSA SLR on weekend evenings. A generation that experienced all seasons in their full bloom. A generation that took pride in India's win of the 1983 World Cup final, when cricket was a game. A generation that saw rib-tickling comedy films like Golmaal, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, Angoor, etc, that were devoid of item songs and double-meaning jokes and innuendos. A generation that heard radio stations do what they were meant to do: play music. A generation that saw the arrival of the computer, yet considered the pen to be mightier than the typed word! A generation that didn't grow up on such complex terms as Gen-X and Gen-Y. My generation: it was as simple as an ABC and 123!
