Oh, the pen friends. This was in vogue those days, we used to be so fascinated about. Thrilling, eagerly waiting for foreign letters. Waiting for post man.
It was a decent era with decent people. All the messages in this discussion board of persons belonging to that era is a testimony to this. Their language and decent thoughts reflects this. This is unlike of the present generation which uses foul language on any topic on this discussion board-whether they have any knowledge about the content or not.

You are so right, Mr. Ali!
It was the last decade before India and Indians went crazy with greed and amassing material possessions!
The children growing up in today's world will never be able to experience the simple and care free life of those days!
Most of today's young generation looks at you with horror when you tell them that back then there were no smart phones or cable TV or internet or malls or foreign brands and so on!
