We Were Young !


Hi there Ladies and Gentlemen who were Boys and Girls years back, No one travels faster than light, so let's slow down a bit and talk. Please :)

We need to stop feeling as if we got to see the best things and subsequent generations shall be missing them. The things that you enjoyed once, changed because they had to. The producers got bored of making the same things over and again and so did the consumers. Cartoon network was good when you were a kid, not just because you had Swat Kats, Captain Planet, Jonny Quest and Tintin running on it! It was because you were A KID. Period

The same logic applies to why you love(d) gully cricket, video games, WWF (and to some extent WWE). Thanks to our never-quenching thirst to watch the same things we used to, even The Undertaker is tired of making comebacks!

Now that you have grown up, you see something’s changed on CN and you want to badly relive those times. And you hate CN for that? Mind you, the target audience has changed its preference. The current school goer still loves it – from Ben10 to Power Rangers, Bheem to Doraemon. Naseeruddin Shah or Akshay Kumar, NSYNC or Metallica, there is a market for everything. People like Moony Deol (of course, first name changed) make action movies till date not because they are bored or they feel the need to register their purses for a weight loss program. They simply sense the existence of an audience for their movies. Why should they miss the profit bus just because their reach is not as wide?

The bottomline is that we do not miss those ‘things’. C’mon, will we watch the aforementioned cartoon series if telecast now? Maybe sporadically but the truth is that we want to watch those things when we are back home from school with mom-made fruit juice in hand. So what do we miss? We know the answer J

Though i miss my childhood days from time to time, the truth is people think their generation is the best and the most fortunate(for God knows what reason!).. Well written mate. Proud of you :)
