Ok folks, so let me try and do my bit towards this.
Will be starting a new hashtag - #IamSoOld with this tweet.

#IamSoOld that I still remember the LOGO Programming Language!
#IamSoOld that I have used the 'Banner' software to print banners on a dot matrix printer.

My first scooter!
Had just three gears.
Heck, once I went to my Dad saying something is wrong with the scooter. When he asked what was wrong, I told him it just won't go beyond 60km/h!
Next moment I was running at 61km/h with my dad behind me!
😂

There actually was a time when the Ring Road in Delhi would see one car per minute!
#IAmSoOld
You get stuck on ONE red signal on Ring Road in Delhi, you would find all subsequent signals red as well, such was the synchronization!
Of course, there was not a single flyover on that entire road, except the Moolchand one!!
#IAmSoOld
I know the difference between a VCR and a VCP, the functions of a 'tracking' button and the countless other smaller buttons!
Then there was the head cleaning solution as well as a head cleaning tape!

My Mom finally threw away four shoe-boxes full of audio cassettes some 15 years ago.
If not for my age, I would have cried that day!
