The Wonder Years

I wonder where those wonder years have gone when things were as simple as they could get, when worrying about life was never in the agenda, and when you had no time to think about some really big things like relationships, money, future & sex. Where have those days gone when you can do stupid stuff without really worrying about what others will think and really enjoy your stupidity. There might have been some situations when being a child could have been troublesome but then, moon also has black spots. 
I miss those days when friendship meant something, when ego clashes were minimal and when you could say anything to a friend without worrying too much about the consequences. Where have those days gone when you can cry without really feeling weak. How much good was it when you can go to someone for comfort when you are afraid or depressed or whatever, without caring how others will think about you. A time when demands were modest – a maggi in a month, rental video game for just one night in summers, couple of G. I. Joes and some comics, when future meant fantasizing about the adulthood – doing great things and ridding the world of its problems (without having an understanding about them) and when fighting with someone was just a one day affair. Money was nothing but something which your parents gave you for doing some thing. (A typical of my home – points were awarded for doing exercise to grand parents’ seva and at the end of the month those points were translated into money)
How much simple was life in those days when you can like a song not because it had some really nice beautiful lyrics or a scantly clad dancer but because for some weird reasons you simply liked that song. You can watch songs like ‘tip – tip barsa paani’ without thinking about wet Ms. Tandon or something like ‘tu cheez badi hai mast mast’ without feeling embarrassed about the lyrics in those good old days. 
Well this was my playlist today – the reason for me going back into those simple days – songs of the late 80’s till mid 90’s.  

Anaida-owa, owa
Shweta Shetty-deewane toh deewane hai
Shawa yah gussa ladki ka
Kesariya hai roop maahro
Tu cheez badi hai mast
Chura ke dil mera
Hawa hawa 
Amma dekh, tera munda
Tamma tamma loge
I am a bachelor
Patti rap – humse hai muqabla etc.
But I need to download several songs like 
Aaja mer gaadi mai baith ja
Bus 1 cup garam –garam chai
Tuna tuna
Tutak tutak tutiya

Aa papaya jhapiya pale hum
Gambler – meri marzi, main sab such kahta huun aapki kasam
And umpteen such chindi songs
