This sunday while enjoying an outing with my friends, we were discussing about our childhood days. Those were some fascinating time that never comes back. A carefree time with loads of fun and enjoyment. As we grown up with many responsibilities to look after, once in a while we always end up saying "wish I would have never grown up". This is how our childhood days made us to regret the condition we were in.

Building blocks days
In most of our critical times, we may get some refreshment by recalling our old memories especially those that pertains to our childhood. Those memory were more entertaining and refreshing that, w can run our lives smoothly with the help of these memories.
The things that a person learns during childhood remain as important parts for life. It applies to things like family and society values, morals, learning the importance of friendships and being respectful to adults. These learning always works as a building blocks in life help us to be a good human. For example, children learn the importance of discipline, punctuality, ethics, and values, and these values stay with them throughout their lives. Without learning the basic ethics and manners, people can become reckless and may end up messing and risking their life.

The Childhood time and those naughty memories always help us guide present behavior and predict future outcomes. With so much to talk our little banter chit chat ends up with talking about the current generation kids and how they were messing around with swags, glamour and being virtual. Like as we were eatingnour foods in a quite manner with our slow conversation. A group of young lads next to were laughing and making unnecessary nuisance. They were spoil brats hardly 14-15 of years.
Changing Lifestyle - Then & Now.
The time has evolved a lot over the years. What used to be our time is not going to come back. We can only forsee the future and tend to adjust accordingly. Talking about the changing time, we lived a carefree life in our childhood. My childhood spent in a small town, where every home was like my own and we live freely. There was many nostalgic time which were hard to put in words. See I am again carrying away into my childhood. It's not easy to elaborate each and everything. But if asked to compare then herr what I the differences then and now :
Foods : There was a time when we alwsys focus on healthy food, junk foods were never been innour course of meals. But now children were more fond of junks and fast food. They always avoid heslthy food and ask for something which is not good for health.
Games & Sports : Indulging in physical andrts were our priority. Be it any sports and we were like to go out and play in soil. Now children were more fond of online games and watching sports on big TV screen. They know the theory, butbwe were at practical best.
Family Functions : Our definition for any of family functions were the cute reasons to meet our cousins and family get togethers. We used to have have non stop conversations and play fun games to play until we were warned to take rest. Now the get togethers are just to introduce our new updated smartphones to each other. And showing off the followers in differrnt social handle account.
Group Discussion & Studies : We were more focusnfor group studies, as it helps usbto enhance knowledge and allow us to look at differrnt perspective. We used to do more writing and orating works to improve our writing and speaking capabilities. Bit in contrast, todays children are more into watching online classes and learning through computers. They have less friends and prefer self studies.
Real vs Virtual : Festival celerbation, social gathering and much more were part of our time. It was those real society, where people used to care about each other. But when it comes to today's time, I see almost everyone living a virtual life. In process the rhythm of living a real life. The time has changed so much, that children does not wanted to mingle or make friends. They were happy in their own social media platform. Chatting and listening to podcasts and all.

The blame game.
There is just a lot happened over the last few decades. Is it because of the “progressive” mindset or technology? It is hard to pinpoint on one particular reason for such a drastic change. Call it a technology curse that children find more solace in the cyber world than living a real life. Or it may be a parenting curse. The parent in pursuit of earning and making a luxurious lifestyle ends up ruining their children. Instead of spending time with the children they, prefer to fulfill their unnecessary demands.
Time has changed and the lifestyle too. But looking back at our time, it alwsys feels good to lived those time which never supposed to come back. Cherishing them alwsys.
