As I listen to these tales of the old times, I am happy to learn that I am not the only one with a mind that is a bag of nostalgia!! There are lots of people who discuss those short brief visits to temple towns, long cycle rides, the vacations spent at grandparents' homes, power-cuts during late evenings that gave a lot of time to blabber in groups into the night, the festivities that made one drool for the sweets and savories throughout the year, the progress reports and answerscripts that sent chill along the spine, the mornings that started with Venkateswara Suprabhatam, the weekend skin-cleansing rituals that meant the moments for body art and giggling, burning the midnight oil for the entrance exams, the struggles to withstand the distractions and make those tough and bold choices one believed in... '90s made truly a generation of millennials who had the courage to pull off those impossible high jumps above the barriers set up by society, and yet remember both the start line, that supporting staff that helped them make it through and preserve and own those medallions, insecurities and scars with no lesser pride than a true marathon winner!! Social media do bring these like-minded beings together to ponder over the red flags, whistleblowers and those pastures that were both green and thorny!!
