The good old days

in the β€’Β  6 years agoΒ 

I grew up in a place called Carmona (Goa-India)😁 during a time when everyone treated each other like Family πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦We went outside to play on streets, build dens and make tree swings 🌳, we got dirty, bathed πŸ›€πŸ».
on a Sunday we didn't eat fast foodπŸŸπŸ”....we ate a Sunday dinner...proper home made food 🍝 and chips cooked in a proper chip pan! we got ice cream 🍦from Amul or Baskin Robbins when we could afford it, otherwise a choc ice from the freezer. We played football ⚽️, kabaddi , Hide and SeekπŸ™ˆ and πŸπŸƒ Made life long friendships and are still in touch with them today albeit not on a regular basis, but true friends.There was no bottled water πŸ’¦ we drank water from the tap (bathroom tap at night)🚰 we shared the same bottle of pop... After we'd wiped it with our mucky sleeves, We only had kids tv after school and Saturday mornings πŸ“Ί We rode our bikes 🚲 for hours πŸ•° There was no such thing as a mobile πŸ“± or any other electronic device πŸ“΅. If someone had a fight, that's exactly what it was... a fist fightπŸ‘Š. Kids didn't have gunsπŸ”« or knivesπŸ”ͺ. The street lights πŸ’‘were our curfew or until our mum shouted us. School was mandatory βœοΈπŸ“’. We watched our mouths around our eldersπŸ‘΄πŸΌπŸ‘΅πŸΌ because we knew we'd get a clip. Sayings like "What's for tea?" your guaranteed reply was shit with sugar on β€œwhere's Mum?" Run off with the milk man would be the answer. Nothing was too PC back then πŸ’­.πŸ‘­πŸ‘¬πŸ‘«and you will never forget where you came from!
