Someone took my luggage and came to the car with me. The coolie didnt leave until i was safely inside the taxi. The taxi person made sure i reached the hotel safe and saw into my room before leaving. :-) Yes, the other things.. they have probably changed a lot. I dont see spontaneous playdates happening in my home town any more.How do we knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997565750098001380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628961.post-79431762645179888712011-07-21T21:15:13.075+05:302011-07-21T21:15:13.075+05:30You seem to be talking of a different era altogeth...You seem to be talking of a different era altogether. I can relate to most of the things you mentioned. I hail from a small town and things have changed ever since I was a kid. <br /><br />The neighbourhoods are not same and neither are the people. People sold off the lands in villages and everyone is richer now. There is congestion, modern behenjis and half bred 'englisss' speaking 'dooods' flanking the streets. The simplicity of life is lost to the media invasion and commercialization of everything - even friendly neighbourhood babysitting.....<br /><br />ah.. I could go on and on..but then it was good to remember the days gone by through your post. Good one..again.Himanshu Tandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937412044722956222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628961.post-13797370658865737712011-07-18T16:42:08.776+05:302011-07-18T16:42:08.776+05:30hi kj: :-) Yes, well, i miss the old times too.
