I really wonder!

Sometimes I really wonder...

Sometimes I really wonder whether this new upcoming generation will ever be able to know the real pleasure of good old times? I wonder would they ever be able to know the happiness of playing cricket with friends on the ground and not just digital games?

I really wonder would they ever be able to experience the fun of playing marbles and tic tac toe?  Would they ever be able to experience the joy of birthday parties with friends and family at home and not at fancy hotels?

 I wonder how they would spend their summer vacations, going to summer camps and not playing  I spy, cricket and lagori with friends. Really? Is that even a vacation? Would they will ever be able to live a life with less homework and more work at home? Would today’s boys ever copy SRK’s pose and would girls ever get obsessed with Kareena’s fashion?  Would today’s generation be able to experience limitless pleasure of any firsts – like first car of family, first family trip to hill station, first pair of sports shoes, first pair of clothes of your choice, first movie in theatre, first bicycle, first ice gola of the season, going to play out without fail in first rains of season, any of these? Would they ever know the joy of sharing your summer vacation scenes with your school best friend as you were not in touch with her through the internet for all these time? Would they be able to feel on the top of the world when parents allow them to go to movie & dinner alone with friends for the first time? Would they ever know the glee of living in joint families with their uncle-aunt showering myriad love and grandparents telling stories to sleep? Would they ever be fortunate enough to play in a puddle, covered with mud from top to bottom,  and still not getting attacked with flu?

Sometimes, I really wonder what stories would they have to recall, or what incident would they laugh at? What innocent mischief would they do and what their memory bag would consist of?
