Re: Those were the Days!!!
Those were the days. Could walk down the Mall Road in Lahore and not a car in sight. Sakoon hee sakoon.
Re: Those were the Days!!!
^Was there a day when you could walk down Alum Rock Rd and not see a Pakistani in sight?

LuxuryItem, back to 1973. Shabaash. :D
Re: Those were the Days!!!
Mid 60’s.
Re: Those were the Days!!!
But i've heard that Mall Road did have businesses and shopping stores such as Jewellery stores etc. at that time. So I assumed, it did have some traffic.
Re: Those were the Days!!!
Yes, I have LIVED. 
Re: Those were the Days!!!
1973?! You mean 1960. The swining 60s were far more hipper than today’s 2000s you little chipmunks call ‘happy days’. 
Back to Cafe, you little imitating monkey. PRONTO!

Re: Those were the Days!!!
Lol, this was a good read. But from the list of shows don't forget Alif Laila.
I was pleasantly surprised that the writer didn't ask us to forward this to 5 people or we'd forget all those things. :)

Re: Those were the Days!!!
I had also got same kind of mail long time back
Here it is
Lets go back in time...
When gulli-danda and kanche (marbles) were more popular than cricket...
When we always had friends to play aais-paais (I Spy), chhepan-chhepai and pitthoo anytime...
When we desperately waited for 'yeh jo hai jindagi' When chitrahaar, vikram-baitaal, dada daadi ki kahaniyaan were so fulfilling....
When there was just one TV in every five houses and when bisleris were not sold in the trains and we were worrying if papas will get back into the train in time or not when they were getting down at stations to fill up the water bottle...
When we were going to bed by 9.00pm sharp except for the 'yeh jo hai jindagi' day...
When Holis & Diwalis meant mostly hand-made pakwaans and sweets and moms seeking our help while preparing them ...
When Maths teachers were not worried of our mummys and papas while slapping/beating us...
When we were exchanging comics and stamps and chacha-chaudaris and billus were our heroes...
When we were in nanihaals every summer and loved flying kites and plucking and eating unripe mangoes and leechis...
When one movie every Sunday evening on television was more than asked for and 'ek do teen chaar' and 'Rajni' inspired us ...
When 50 paisa meant at least 10 toffees...
When left over pages of the last year's notebooks were used for rough work or even fair work...
When 'chelpark' and 'natraaj' were encouraged against 'Reynolds and family'...
When the first rain meant getting drenched and playing in water and mud and making 'kaagaj ki kishtis'...
When there were no phones to tell friends that we will be at their homes at six in the evening...
When our parents always had 15 paise blue colored 'antardesis' and 5 paise machli wale stamps at home ...
When we were not seeing patakhes on Diwalis and gulaals on Holis as air and noise polluting or allergic agents...
The list can be endless...
When we were using our hearts more than our brains, even for scientifically brainy activities like 'thinking' and 'deciding'...
When we were crying and laughing more often, more openly and more sincerely...
When we were enjoying our present more than worrying about our future...
When being emotional was not synonymous to being weak
When sharing worries and happinesses didnt mean getting vulnerable to the listener...
When blacks and whites were the favourite colors instead of greys...
When journeys also were important and not just the destinations. ..
When life was a passenger's sleeper giving enough time and opportunity to enjoy the sceneries from its open and transparent glass windows instead of some superfast's second ac with its curtained, closed and dark windows...
I really miss but do other people?

Re: Those were the Days!!!
DUBAI RULZ.. if any of you were there during the 1990s throughout the 2000s.. AH, "wo lamhe, wo yaadein, koi na janay, ye kaisay batein wo barsaatein, wo bheegi bheegi yaadein"
Re: Those were the Days!!!
Actually, I can remember most of it, so by inference I have "LIVED" (whatever that means), but, by jolly, dude, move on. Life now is more beautiful (or ought to be). Enjoy the present and work for a better future. Create new and wonderful traditions around you. Nostalgia will only get you so far.
