Life Back Then 3

Students, Young Married Couples with children - Pl show to your grandparents and parents and ask them about life then
The cradle swings again and takes you once more to a nostalgic drive in the memory lane...
Life Was Awesome Back Then

-          When quick decisions were made by "Akkad Bakkad Bumbey Bow" and not by deliberations (‘Akkad Bakkad Bumbey Bo, assi nabbey pure sou, sou mein laga dhaga chor nikal kar bhaga’) – we used to speak these lines and the finger where it ended was the finger of decision assumed there)

-          When you had driven secretly your dad's Vespa scooter after manipulating the meter to avoid getting caught.

-          When Esso and Burma Shell petrol pumps vendored unadulterated petrol and diesel at a price which is unimaginable now.
