BEFORE THE TECHNOLOGY TOOK OVER.

How beautiful were those days 
When tech had not touched us
To spoil our minds and hearts
When life was simple and plain
And ambitions too were not very rosy.

When poetry music and art 
Use to inspire us to touch the sky
On the wings of our imagination
As then our dreams too were simple 
And love use to empower our hearts
To swim across any deep ocean
While singing the songs of love.

When television had not snatched
Our leisure hours from everyone of us 
And we use to dance and sing
On the call of heart touching tunes.

When mobiles had not spoiled our minds
While snatching from us, 
Our peace of mind  
When computers were a remote cry 
And internet had not ruined the purity of minds.

When as children we use to enjoy the life
While playing the Gend Tadi* (throw balls)
Or even the Gilli Danda* 
As they all use to fill us with a serene joy
Which the new technology has snatched 
From our kids and younger generations.

How beautiful were those days
When we use to enjoy the company
Of human minds and hearts
Unlike the numerous appliances 
Which we keep close to our hearts
instead of love, music and friendship.

The new generation would never know
The beauty of those precious joyous moments
Which used to embrace our hearts 
And were the result of love and affection
Which always come from non tech things.
