Once Upon A Time


No , this isn't a fairy-tale , it's the reality. 

We all live a really comfortable life but we aren't the slightest aware of how life was back when we weren't born (   we : I'm talking about us teenagers and early 20's "adults" ) . 

We watch TV , listen to songs , go out for movies but all yesteryear's entertainment was the one -channel radio or on lucky days - a day out to the park. Believe it or not luxuries were a dream back then. We long for ice-creams from gianis , pizzas from dominoes , pastas and macroni but those kids longed for their mother's made custard.

The world has evolved to become more citizen-friendly and everything we need is easily available. Back then , holidays meant spending time with uncles , aunts and cousins at their places ; now holidays means going abroad to exotic countries and staying at five-star hotels. Birthdays are celebrated with extravagant parties and delicacies from fancy restaurants but in the yesteryear birthdays meant "family time" and maybe the child's favorite dish in dinner.

Human desires  changed the world with a modern outlook. We all are so used to such a luxurious lifestyle that we can't even spend one day without TV, internet or delicious food items! One day isn't much to ask , it's just 24 hours in contrast our parents and grandparents spent years without such comfort.

We should respect what we get because our parents work hard for us to be comfortable. Respect their struggle through hardships. Try to empathize with them !
