If you're a 90's child then think back to your childhood. How was it? Filled with games like 'chuppan chupai', 'pittoo', 'chor pakram sathi' and 'oonch neech'. Not to forget, 'ludo'. 'ghar ghar' and numerous other self-made pretend games. The best part being the Disney cartoons and watching 'Flintstones' and 'The Jetsons' and many other fighting-less and gun-less cartoons, that taught us a good lesson everyday.
Compare all this with the kind of childhood the children have today. Hearing stories about killings and blasts everyday. Outdoor games are now replaced by 'temple run' and 'fruit ninja'. Not to forget 'Facebook' and 'You Tube' which are the highlights of the day. Their toys include guns and rockets instead of cars and houses. Even the cartoons are all about fighting. Whatever happened to the old peaceful Disney cartoons? Vanished! If our childhoods have any effect on our personality when we grow up, then I wonder what the next twenty- thirty years would be like.
