Snow fights 😆

I never saw snow in my life. Eventhough I'm intolerant to cold weather my wish is to play like this in the snow one day.

I hope your wish comes true❤️

Tennikoit rings, I used to play it in the street with the other kids.. I relived this memory one week back by playing it with my 5 years niece❤️

Same . But the model no. was , iirc , 5110 & looked verily the same as above :

Call rates were Rs.9 outgoing & Rs 4.5 incoming then (1999) . More of a status symbol back then .

Yeah they look very similar. I had a couple of Nokia phones back then. It was fun changing covers. I remember having a gold cover.

Bollywood Movies on VHS tapes

Songs on cassettes

My dad still has all these things. He doesn’t use them much but he makes sure to keep them in a usable condition. At first we mocked him for hanging on to them but now, like in everything else, I see his point. The last VCR movie I saw was Ghayal in 2018.

This snake game still exists!...the kids have played it two years ago whenever possible...

I grew up with those kind of telephones:

Flying A Kite

Only holding the maanjhe wali chakri for my brother🤣

I personally miss playing on the streets all the way until we hear dad’s scooter from far( we used to have supersonic hearing too🙌) and then dash into the home, clean up, change and sit down with the school bag - all within 2 mints, and pretend like we never played when dad enters home. 🤓 What a kick we used to get. I think the current generation is cheated of all these beautiful moments.
