Good old
days -- Nowadays
By
P.R.Ramachander
Every house
used to have a widow -- Widows are very rare nowadays
Second wife was
common --- Bigamy is a crime now
The life expectation
at birth, -- It is around 70 now .
Was around 30 then
When a girl
does not
get married, --- When a boy does not get married,
Parents used to get worried parents are greatly worried
Rarely 60th
birthdays were celebrated --- Very many people celebrate 100th birthday
The average height of a man was5 feet, ---- Boys are nowadays more than 5 feet 8 inches
tall
5 inches and girl
was five feet And girls are more than 5 feet 6 inches tall
Only when
there is no one to cook ,
--- No one likes
to cook and most of the time
People went to
hotel every one goes to the hotel
One person earned
to look after nine --- Two persons earn and find it difficult
Children look after one child
Hunch backed old people
walking , --- People are health conscious and you
With walking
stick was common Rarely see
hunch backed people
Every one
was proud of their, ---- Most people do not know
what they are
Mother
toungue and mother land
Joint families
were the only thing --- No one
knows what they are .They call
Parents living with children as
joint families
Every child fought
tooth and nail to get --- Most children are much richer than their parents
Ancestral property tooth and nail And are not bothered about parent’s property
