Now and then
Now and then.
Then we had black & white television,
with big frame
and queer name.
We had land phone,
with minimum facilities
but better affinities.
Were facinated by 'Ambassador.'
This was the model of car of old days.
It Was very common in road ways.
In summer days when it was hot.
We had no cooler.
Only we had soothing natural air.
Then we had no urbanisation.
Less life stability.
but better humanity.
Now we have everything.
We have modern gadgets.
Providing us many benefits.
We are enjoying our life.
Span of life has been extended.
Life is more guaranteed.
But something is missing.
In those hey days,
we had love and affectionate bondages.
