The Last Good Days of Innocence

I can recall vivid memories of my life, which is beautifully woven & treasured in the locket of my heart:

I can recall my school life where there were lots of fun & learning..
~No disrespect for teachers & disobedience.
I wish could travel back to school days possessing pure age of innocence....

I can recall my childhood days when there were no introduction of computer's and smart phones...
~No crimes due to social media.

I can recall those times when there were lots of love among family members ...
~No issues of sibling rivalry and domestic violence.

I can remember those times when people were caring for animals by being less selfish...
~No thoughts of encroachment,No business ideas.

I can remember those wonderful days where family members sat together and chit-chatted face to face..
~No influence of technologies.

I can remember those days where we all played outdoor & indoor games with friends & families..
~No passing time with strangers online.

I can remember those days where we loved savouring delicious home made foods.
~No craze for fancy foods ,No complaints.

I can reminisce those times where we listened to parents & elders with lots of patience.
~No hatred,No cross- questions,less arguments.

I can reminisce those days where there were elated arranged marriages as well as love marriages.
~No conviction of extra-marital affairs & less cases of divorce.

I reminisce those days when everyone felt to appreciate each other talents & skills.
~No discrimination ,No cunningness.
 
I reminisce those days when people were empathizing without any expectations.
~No greed ,No fake perceptions.
