What do the 90s kids relate with? Here’s your nostalgia building reference…

1

The good old 90s! What an era it was. Spending loads of time on what you loved the most. Let me put it right, are we actually spending time in the present with what we love or are we just used to it? You know the answer well. 90s was a time when things seemed simpler as compared to now. When life was not as influenced by technology and when happiness was found in smaller things. It’s a shame that kids these days missed out on so much we used to do back in the 90s.

I got all nostalgic about the era gone by thinking about all these, so why not share the same with you….

As movie buffs, we excitedly waited for DD movie telecast
