Winds of change

Every morning I see Mickey Mouse club house while I am getting ready for work. Yes I know I am not a child to watch cartoons; but I still enjoy cartoons.


Honestly more often I feel amazed how kids now-a-days like these cartoons. When I was in school or for that matter even in my engineering college most the cartoon were all two dimensional ones (which I feel were more childish); now-a-days it’s the new style 3D ones. The only cartoon which was remotely the 3D was Johnny Quest; when Johnny enters the virtual Quest world.


I have grown up watching Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Johnny Quest, Scooby Doo, Tintin, Swat Cats, He-Man etc. Cartoon network used to be my all time favorite channel. A few months back Paru and I were trying to remember the opening track for Captain Planet.. Captain Planet he is hero .. going to take pollution down to zero… J

Well I guess its all about change after all. We grew up watching “Giant Robot”, Superman, Small wonder and played with Barbie or G.I Joe… now its Pokémon, Hannah Montana and Dora instead.

If you think about it I guess this is what generation gap is in a way. I am wonder stuck at the changes in past few year and can’t imagine what’s next. But one things for sure – things that we did growing up will be very different from the things current generation will do growing up. Change is inevitable after all.


Well at the end of the day all I hope is Amu/Krishna/ Nikki/ Varun don’t tell me “Chittu your too out dated!”… as longs as that doesn’t happen I don’t really care much J
