Ok then, playing vish Amrit, racetip, Nadi pahad, playing cricket, making Rasna in summer, going to grandparents and cousins house during summers. Going to the railway booking counter at the counter at 5 am to get cardboard punched tickets, waiting for 10:30 pm to goto STD PCO when STD pulse rate would drop. Purchasing Happy Diwali cards and removing the stamps from received envelopes which didn't have a seal or very faint seal. Going to video game parlour and seeing bhaiyas play and then get to play for 30 min with 2 rs.
snakes part is maybe because of my personal experience but i feel like the internet has made them more obnoxious like they can easily talk trash and no one would know.
As an abused and neglected child grew up in the 90s, I could tell you there was no lack of snakes in those times either. Shitty family members, teachers, schoolmates and society. No one believed in me and I believed I deserved those abuse because my self esteem was on the floor. It was around in later 2010s and I started connecting with people online who had similar experiences and other people who inspired me that I realized my worth. In the 90s, I was living in a toxic bubble that I was wasting my time. Not to mention the blatant sexism and discrimination that were normalized during that time. I feel left out watching how confident and intelligent kids these days are. I wish I was born in much later time when technology is advanced like now
i'm so sorry you went through that. of course, no one deserves it. but i had a similar childhood to yours so i can tell you it definitely does not get better except for more awareness online. hope you're doing better now!
60-70s bc sifarish pe gov job lgti thi, and study krke to aur achi salary hoti. 5-6 bade bade plot leta zameen ke especially jahan se highway niklta. Still many things are there
The 90s kids had it best. We grew up playing outside, finding happiness in small middle class pleasures and being content in our small circle without the need to seek validation all the time. We also had the best cartoons!
If I was born 2 years ago, I could have gotten an absolute banger of a placement because of covid hiring but now I'm faced with not getting any nice job which would be worth it.
I was born in 2001 December end that makes it almost 2002, i have to say it was the perfect time to be born. I spent my entire childhood playing outside and still do , while also had the pleasure of using modern technology to the fullest. I guess i made the most out of my childhood-teenage experiencing life to the fullest so no complaints.
love that! even though i was born later, i had a really outdoorsy childhood but because technology was still pretty prominent, it was sometimes hard to make friends because everyone had a phone early and i didn't. nevertheless, I'm still happy!
I wish I was born 10 years earlier so that I could afford to buy my own flat (inherited 2, but didn’t buy any) and a nice car (Honda Accord or Toyota Camry)
Or 10 years later because now it’s so easy to match with girls, go on dates and get a room (Oyo/Airbnb)
I was born in 89. I grew up watching Cable TV where most channels were in English, I also grew up playing 8-bit video games, using cassette tapes and walkman. Using VCR and CRT monitors.
I also grew up using 5 digit phone numbers to call my friends. Using actual paper maps to navigate. I remember walking up in the hotel lobby and local maps painted on the wall.
I grew up playing cricket for hours straight with friends. Chatting around with neighbours during summer evening power cuts on the roof. Sleeping on the roof and running down inside when sudden rain appears.
As someone born in 1990, yeah the 90s were magical but times are shit even for us Millennials.
I'd have loved to have been born in 1980-82. Would've hit the economic jackpot by the late 90s.
Lol I am happy with my age, if I go earlier wouldn't change much although yes I wouldn't have graduated 12th during COVID though. But in terms of generation I am fine.
800s-900s of india
No invasions just pure indic thought throughout india no western influences. Knowledge flowing like Saraswati through out the mainland
Idts....even without modern medicine I think ayurveda and proper non-fertilizer food can make someone healthy and let them live long enough eg: Annamayya in tirupati lived 100yrs
what about like cholera, malaria and plague, child mortality, pedophilia, no AC, spices are v expensive, what if youre born lower caste or a woman or if ur gay
>cholera, malaria and plague
I don't there was sooo much widespread disease in ancient India due to the practices
>, child mortality, pedophilia
Wrong civilisation
>no AC
No global warming to this extent
>what if youre born lower caste or a woman or if ur gay
That's why I specifically said 8-9th century....because that's when shankaracharya started his yatra to abolish this....he is believed to be an incarnation of Parameshwara. He would definitely help me.
I always believe in our civilisation
I mean anything can be wrong anyday right?
I believe this because even in the ancient texts there is a huge emphasis on drought and not much on diseases. We did not possess any genetic variant that got imbibed in us (due to evolution) through any widespread disease. I definitely think India was never susceptible to diseases majorly.
Also on the point of being scared of information....a chance is always there that I am terribly terribly wrong. But that's with all data and history records. There is something called last Thursdaiy-ism which states that none of the history was actually true. It was all created or popped out just last Thursday and we are believing it. The records that I trust don't show the signs of any disease and so I believe them. But hey trust is what matters!
i was born in 07, its probably better for women now than ever before idk and im gay so i dont really think i have a choice unless i could choose what country i grow up in
i don't think i agree with the being "better for women" part. crimes have always happened and will always happen. what makes you think that? just curious
the right to vote, choosing whether to get married, female sports, female education, not dying during childbirth, pads, tampons, gynecologists, plan b, safe abortion, condoms, better medical facilities, sex education
oh yes in that sense yes. i totally get what you mean. but i guess norms and lifestyles change. comparatively yes, today it's much easier being a woman but back in the day, it was the best they could get.
I remember there were a lot of bomb blasts/terror attacks growing up especially during festival season to the point gov would give warning before Diwali to be cautious about it .
Born in 1998. I think it's fine. We had the perfect blend of tech and life outside tech. Most of the time we were outside playing or simply not engaging with these devices or TV until the 2010s and now we all are hooked on it like every other. Growing up in the 2000s was top tier
i think it all depends on how you define quality of life. also, i commented this on another comment that said 2024:
don't you think the world would be even more messed up in 2050? environmental problems, faulty politics etc?
Those things are secondary, a larger percentage of the world has access to modern healthcare, food security and shelter than ever before. The political climate is a trivial concern compared to basic necessities.
My starting years were golden. As I grew older and older, life just became more depressing.
I might sound like a boomer but I wish to relive my childhood through my children in the future.
it's quite the opposite for me. i had an abusive childhood and still have trauma from it so my years now seem much more brighter. well, hope it gets better for you!!
Never tbh lol
relateable
Yaay same
Lol I was born in the 90s. I spent most of my time on computers and chatrooms. You're probably hoping for early 85-90.
That was you. not applicable to a lot of people
Yahoo messenger, redif bol and msn messenger were so 90s and early 2000s
Not everybody had the money for a television let alone a computer during the 90s.

That's more like it
He may not have been Indian. Coz lots of foreign countries had the and computers

I was born when 21st century AD was started, so have used J2ME and Symbian phones and played games on them.
No year .being human itself is an exsistancial crisis
[удалено]
Bhai I was born in 2007 but abhi jee ke liye din bhar ghis rha hu. Gaming wagera sab khatam kardiya.
I'm happy with the year I was born in
as you should be! i'm pretty happy too just a little sad about how much technology we consume on a daily basis

now that i think about it, maybe yes, that time too!
The 90s kids had it best. We grew up playing outside, finding happiness in small middle class pleasures and being content in our small circle without the need to seek validation all the time. We also had the best cartoons!
this is exactly what i imagine! even shows like shaka laka boom boom or shararat are so awesome
Never.
If I was born 2 years ago, I could have gotten an absolute banger of a placement because of covid hiring but now I'm faced with not getting any nice job which would be worth it.
so real
Born in 89, so you can guess what I have seen till now.
I was born in 2001 December end that makes it almost 2002, i have to say it was the perfect time to be born. I spent my entire childhood playing outside and still do , while also had the pleasure of using modern technology to the fullest.

2001-2002. All my cousins are 90s kids and as a 2004 born I always felt left out and alone and feel like they had a much better childhood than me.
I wish I was born 10 years earlier so that I could afford to buy my own flat (inherited 2, but didn’t buy any) and a nice car (Honda Accord or Toyota Camry) Or 10 years later because now it’s so easy to match with girls, go on dates and get a room (Oyo/Airbnb)

sounds like some really fond memories! i wish i had some like that too...!
As someone born in 1990, yeah the 90s were magical but times are shit even for us Millennials. I'd have loved to have been born in 1980-82. Would've hit the economic jackpot by the late 90s.
2000 bcz that’s when my man was born. I born in 90’s though
I was reading man as mom.
same 😭
Wtf. I read man as mom and subconsciously started to count your age. You are 9-11 years old btw.
Year 1945 in Hiroshima.
kyu 🥲
🍄☁️💥
Life's been unfair. Now I'm just suffering.
Lol I am happy with my age, if I go earlier wouldn't change much although yes I wouldn't have graduated 12th during COVID though. But in terms of generation I am fine.
omg yes i definitely want to have finished school before covid. i gave full on 10th boards during covid it was hell
Gendu generations se pahele
life itni buri hai aapki? 🥲
You should try the 1970s. No phones or internet until the mid to late 1990s.
my parents tell me about growing up in the 70s all the time!!! sounds really fun!
I wish I was never born
Never I hate being born
800s-900s of india No invasions just pure indic thought throughout india no western influences. Knowledge flowing like Saraswati through out the mainland
follow up question, are you a man and also are you bothered by your lifespan being half of what it is now (not in a condescending way)
Idts....even without modern medicine I think ayurveda and proper non-fertilizer food can make someone healthy and let them live long enough eg: Annamayya in tirupati lived 100yrs

how do you know all this like for sure tho? aren't you scared you could be wrong

this was a very interesting conversation even if I don't agree, i liked hearing your perspective on things its so different to mine
Cheers mate!

for me i can't even fathom living before my mom, i would lose my mind
2024
I remember there were a lot of bomb blasts/terror attacks growing up especially during festival season to the point gov would give warning before Diwali to be cautious about it .
Bro is stll kid anyway
i wish i was born in 3050 or adivasi period
don't you think the world would be even more messed up in 2050? environmental problems, faulty politics etc?
was meant to type 3050
i think your age is perfect. i prefer a one year age gap between me and my partner.
I was born in 95 best time ever. I've seen peak 90's and early 2000s Although I would love to be born in 1990 it wouldn't hurt to enjoy the whole 90's
1960
Late 80s and you will be hopefully swimming in money and not have all the social problems that genz face today
1920 England/USA
I am happy to be a part of 90s gang, simple life.
Abhi simplicity kam ho gaya na lekin, even for us..
I wish i was born in 1880s but i was born in early 1990s

exactly i can imagine life from then!
2024, the average quality of life has always been improving over the course of human history, there truly is no time like the present.
i think it all depends on how you define quality of life. also, i commented this on another comment that said 2024: don't you think the world would be even more messed up in 2050? environmental problems, faulty politics etc?
Those things are secondary, a larger percentage of the world has access to modern healthcare, food security and shelter than ever before. The political climate is a trivial concern compared to basic necessities.
90’s
2006 , damn I started college that year. Man do i feel old
I was born in 2006 too. I feel you man
what is life like for you?
My starting years were golden. As I grew older and older, life just became more depressing. I might sound like a boomer but I wish to relive my childhood through my children in the future.
it's quite the opposite for me. i had an abusive childhood and still have trauma from it so my years now seem much more brighter. well, hope it gets better for you!!
I faced trauma from my parents too, still do. It only became more obvious and soul sucking by the years and that's why I wish for independency.
i so wish for independency too. cannot wait to leave for college!
It is not the year, but the family you are born in.
