- Every 00’s
INDIAN KID would relate to:
- Childhood
is the most beautiful part in one’s lifetime. These ten-fifteen years of our
life witness the acceptance of our very
existence and act as a road to the realization of the cause for our being on
this planet This is the time when we cry, make friends and foes, fight, learn,
discover, make mistakes, correct them…. and ENJOY LIFE THE MOST.
- This is
2018. Most of the kids who dawned the second millennium are going to turn
legally “mature” this year, at least in my case, I need to wait till
December. So if you are another 00’s
kid, living in India, tighten your seat belt and get ready for an emotional
roller coaster ride. Here we go:
- 1.AGE
- (This came
first to my mind, when I thought the uniqueness of our generation)
- Well… seen
your parents and uncles, thinking hard to remember how old they are?
- In our
case, we never faced and will never face this problem. A quick glance at the
calendar tells
us
what our age. You know we 00’s kids go hand in hand with the millennium.
- Remember
the old black slightly heavy cassette players, you had in your house in the
early years of your existence. A typical example of the 90’s hangover.
- Then came
the CD players. We used get VCDs and DVDs of cartoon movies and sometimes some
other from those CD Shops in the neighbourhood.
- o“ ENTER DISC”
- This was
the message we all had seen on the box TVs we had during our growing years
- Then we had
the pen drives and everything changed. We are the generation, which has
witnessed the transition from those radio like music players to pen drives and
now to the indeed very smart smartphones.
- Now almost
everybody had this song on their lips, half of us not knowing what it meant.
- o“Why this Kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri di”
- Songs like
“Jeene ke hai char din”, “Main hoon na”, “ Kal ho na ho”, “ Maa Tujhe Salam”
penetrate deep into our soles enough to make us sing along.
- And who can
forget “Lungi Dance”, which became a national rage due to some cause I’ve still
not figured out.
- T.V Shows
- The 00’s
was the time in which Indian television undergone a complete metamorphosis.
- From the
old sarkari channel of Doordarshan, focus shifted to more appealing and by far
more entertaining tv channels.
- We can
never forget this T.V show.
- “Kuch to
gadbad hai DAYA”
- And this
Crorepati Show had everybody glued to their TVs with their phones on, answering
Big Bs questions on “Ghar Baithe Jeeto Jackpot”
And how can I miss cartoons:
- Remember
this old Cartoon Network Logo? Hu?
- And Tom and
Jerry….
- HATS OFF TO
THEM
`
- And this
bunny. He was so smartness, wit, humor and cleverness all packed into one. The Hindi
voiceover made it even better.
- And
everybody had been scolded for watching this little five year old kid.
- “Mera naam
Shinchan Nohara hai aur mujhe shimla mirch bilkul pasand nhi hai”
- It is a
great mystery that he was five years old when we were five years old and now we
are almost ready to vote but he is still a little five year old kid? Strange. Isnt it?
- This blue
22nd century robot.
- Do you
remember how was it?
- “Doraemon.
Doraemon Mujhe gadget do na”
- {I assume
you can imagine the voice, the original voice of Nobita}
- And this
guy.
- Wait.
Weren’t these two related.
- One
spectacled guy, a pretty girl he has a crush on , a robot to help him, a fat
neighbourhood bully and a spoilt rich
brat. A perfect recipe for a Japanese animation.
- Those
people took Pokemon off air when we were toddlers. Brought it back when were
teens. Cruel. But you all remember the song don’t you?
“Ek Safar pe Nikla hoo main
GHoomonga charon disha
Har pokemon ki shakti hai khas
Usko hai samjhna”
“Duniya ko tabahi se bachane ke liye
- Sabhin logon k eek saath lane ke liye
Sab ko
batane ke liye hum kya karv skte hain
- Poori Duniya ko apni muthi mein kar sakte hain.
- Team Rocket

- Who was
this Octopus?

little guy who used to drive a taxi and sometimes even a plane?
- And Bob The
Builder. The song was something like this-
- “Bob the
Builder kar ke dikhayenge
- Bob the
Builder ………………………………….”(Fill in the blanks)
- Toys and
Games
- Having this
phone at our times was far too valuable than owning an iphone now.
- Addicted to
Clash of Clans or Candy Crush or Hay Day or whatever game you like. I bet this
you’d played this game with more concentration and shiddat( I can’t find the
correct English word for this).
- True?
Right?

family game of carom?
- Remember
using talcum powder on the board?

cards.
- Khali was
rank 1 na?

cricket cards
- Having a
Tendulkar was like a golden chance to win.

the neighbourhood
- Ever
collected money to buy a tennis ball? It costed Rs. 3O earlier then Rs. 40 and
then Rs. 50.
- Badminton.
- The coolest
kids on the block used to have these Yonex racquets.
- Politics and Cricket
- For most of
our growing years this face was the one recognized as the Prime Minister.
- He was very
shant. Quite. It’s the reverse now…….
- And this
man rose to prominence in front of our eyes.
- I hope his
khansi is a bit better now.
- OMG! I wont
say anything about him.
- We are the
generation fortunate enough to see God play and retire.
- Also
supported Captain Cool get this.
- We were the
ones who cheered for
- No matter
in which part of India we lived, which language we spoke, we enjoyed the 00’s
to the maximum we could. We are the generation that has seen the era without
technology and are the firt ones who turn to Google for everything. The social
media generation. But not mad after it like our predecessors. We are not the
best. No not the best. But the most unique generation of all.
