i'd always LOVE the 90's, my childhood and the amazing life here in lahore. things really were different.
burai and behayayi has always been there but back then it was considered BAD by majority of the people. in schools we still did talk about our Qari sahab's who came to teach us Quran pak and how our moms used to scold us about not saying our prayers regularly.
foul words were CONDEMNED... Eids were excitedly discussed and anticipated about. the televisions showed the nicest dramas, ones you could watch with your family.
Coca Cola Movie Mania showed great movies on NTM. Weekends were fun. We would always see mothers clad in full sleeves decent shalwar kameez with most of them wearing dupattas on their heads.
Wasim Akram Inzi and Imran Khan were the true heroes! :)
but children of today..
all they have seen are suicide bombings.. 'have a blast' is a literal scary sentence now i have seen little kids of 7 and 8 discussing Beyonce and Shakira. Or how they showed 'Junior' on Cartoon Network and they secretly laugh about a dad giving birth to a BABY !
Mothers no longer allow their kids to play outside as it is nOT safe anymore, hence all these little children are turning into couch potatoes watching either sick cartoons or if worse dancing to all the bollywood tunes and talking about 'dates and valentine's day' ..
cricket is mocked at. EPL is the new in thing. People are more excited about FIFA or the Premier Leagues rather than our own Cricket Tournaments !
and you say 90s were worse ?? :)
This is exactly what I mean!!
I miss PTV entertainment, nowadays the dramas don't represent real Pakistanis, just the brown-sahibs, they are so unreal.
I miss Alpha-Bravo-Charlie and Marvi, Aanch etc...
