Me and my sister on my 6th birthday!

Okay! So, let’s take a trip back to 2000s.

Do you remember your favourite eatery in those times? The taste? That satisfaction? Waiting for the whole week to go to that place with family on a Sunday!

Remember the then festivals? Birthdays? What you wore? The feeling of those new clothes.

Waiting for that trending new song on radio or buying a very expensive CD of your favourite band or downloading a pirated 128kbps quality song and listening on your desktop. That Feel!

Got 80s spirit? Feeling Nostalgic!

The common thing in all of these was- Delayed Gratification!

Fast forward to 2020s and things change!

Do you recall your most recent meal from outside or online order? Was it Breakfast, Lunch or dinner? Okay, at least remember the cuisine? You may take 2–3 minutes to think or better you can check map history or your favourite food ordering app! Simple.

Do you remember your last shopping for your clothes? When did your wore it? Any Occasion? Check your phone’s gallery! Simple.

Any latest 2020s song in your active playlist? (You still have your 2000s songs in your active playlist 🙂)
