More social, less media

Being a 90s kid, as social media lingo defines us, I feel a sense of satisfaction and contentment of being born in an era when something more than just technology defined the social and recreational life of the children of that time.

Our parents inculcated in us the habit of reading newspapers and watching television news (there was only Doordarshan news at that time, compared with the present-day 24-hour news channels devoid of any meaningful content) and playing in the real world.

Though in my late thirties now, I consider myself young enough to easily mingle with a generation born after me and who are in their teens or twenties, as I do when interacting with people of my parents’ age or senior citizens.
