The 90's Kids - A nostalgic overview of the rumors of our times - 1

Our childhood is always the best one when you look back at it now being an adult. Growing up in Thamizhnadu is another advantage for the kids to enhance ourselves culturally as well as to possess more humanitarian qualities when compared to other states or region in India. Especially when you’re born in 1990-2000 these years, you’re lucky enough that you’ve witnessed a drastic changes in culture, tradition, technology and politics, which have affected us in both positive and negative ways.

Being 90’s kids is totally unique in many ways, we have grown up with many rumors, many assumptions, many regulations and many changes and development.

In this post I want to throw some light on what it takes to be a 90’s kid and to believe in silly rumors which made our childhood ‘a unique and best part of our life’. And I’d like to dedicate this blog post a sequel on.

These meme creators and their memes are so widely celebrated because they brings the scenes we've enjoyed virtually. This blog post is not possible without them. I've collected many memes that are based on the 90's kids’ concept from various meme pages through Instagram.

Meme 1

Starting this with a genuine meme. In our childhood days, in schools we used create paper camera, paper frog toy, paper rocket and four cups were our best mode of entertainment. This meme portrays us as the best inventors during our childhood times.

Meme 2

Meme 2A

Shakthimaan was the best superhero to whom we as 90’s kids’ believed in. Shakthimaan gave us assurance to save us from any problem. This meme reminds us of the great belief we had in Shakthimaan more than to that of the belief that we had in our self or parents.

Meme 3

This meme is an absolute rapt for any 90’s kids’ who is always a die-hard fan of Power Rangers which happens to be telecasted in Jetix channel. This meme is from one episode in which all the power rangers from Dino-Thunder, Mystic Force, Ninja-storm, wild force and SPD comes together to fight a bad guy. Every fan of Power Rangers gets thrilled seeing this scene.

Meme 4

We are so adventurous during our childhood and foodie from the beginning. We used to pluck fruits from other houses in the neighborhood. We used to shake the tree to get Gooseberries, throw stones to get mangoes in the summer season and we run from that place to save our self without getting caught red handed. If the owners of the tree/house catches us, then it’s Diwali for us from our parents. Even if our parents or the owner finds out, getting beaten up and tasting the fruits we got is heaven for us then. And they say stolen fruits are tastier than the brought ones and home grown ones.

Meme 5

JCBs’, other heavy vehicles were one of the interesting things to watch when they are digging up or working something in the road. Those heavy vehicles made us to forget all the works and made us to stand in the place and watch for some time. We enjoyed those vehicles and wondered about how the vehicles digs up places. Trust me this template comedy scene is one of the best done by our legendary comedy actor Vadivelu.

Meme 6

We are such happy kids to enjoy waving at strangers who passes by. The most one that we enjoyed was waving at random bus drivers, lorry drivers and various others. If they waves us back, that is one of the most successful moments we’ve enjoyed. I still do this kind of waving when I travel. I wave at every person I pass by when I’m driving my bike or traveling in train or bus. Aaa Jumkalaka Jumakalaka !!!!!!

Meme 7

In our childhood times, The animal keepers brings their Elephants, camels and monkeys to our streets weekly once or twice and gets money for doing some entertainment with their trained animals. One of the best of them was elephants, we used to climb elephants in our childhood. Whenever we see elephants used for begging in shops of the town, we simply stand there itself and watch them slowly walking and moving in the streets. It was simply fun to just stand there and watch them. Irony is that, today these things are not at all happening, due to the congestion and pollution that humans caused.

We found meaning for every action, every nature’s act for example is this meme. If a crow crays in front of one’s house, it is believed that relatives may come to their home. If we hear lizards sound, it is believed that something good is going to happen soon in the house.

Meme 15

We used to buy all kind of chocolates and also in different colors. There’s one rose color toffee which if eaten makes our tongue pink. We believed that toffee is the real essence of Rose Milk, so we put it in our water bottle and claimed that we’d brought rose milk in our water bottles to the school.
