Times they are a-changin'

You know times have changed when:

* There is an entire generation that hasn't heard of GoldSpot

* Mr Bean is just a cartoon on PoGo

* VH1 puts Westlife in their Classic section

* Che Guevara has progressed from T-shirts to coasters
 
 * You don't send e-cards anymore, you send champagne flutes and teddy bears on Facebook

* Google is a verb

* A mom knows what her child ate from his/her Tweet

* Emails ids are replaced by BB Pins

* Phantom cigarettes and Pickwick biscuits are no more than pages on Facebook

* You pick up a non-touchscreen phone and end up touching its screen to run a program

* You're back to listening to English music on radio in Bombay only on All-India Radio

* Wednesdays are the new Fridays which were the new Saturdays

* You can "poke" people even without touching them

* The last few times you used a pen were to sign bills

* For parents, same religion is no longer a marriage criteria, different gender is

* Tom Hanks is that Robert Langdon guy from Da Vinci Code while Bond is Daniel Craig

* People discover classic rock bands through Guitar Hero

* Moms know how to use Skype but still type www.hotmail.com in the Google search box

* You're surprised people still have rediffmail ids

* You check the time on your phone and not your wristwatch

* Ordering American Chopsuey is not so cool anymore

Thought the earlier background was more you, this is more like Bhu.

Surrender yourself to the colours my friend!

Agree, Rati. This feels like my second blog. The earlier one was total Lakshmi. I believe she even had a pair of socks that colour once.
And this is why I stopped watching TV: VH1 puts Westlife in their Classic section.
