Good old days

PC: Wikipedia

These days we download songs unlike old times. Back then having a tape recorder and cassette used to be the in thing. A luxury for us to be able to afford a Walkman. Songs back then also used to be good.

I still remember mom making a cassette with a medley of mix and match. A few from each movies and we used to give the cassette shop keeper to record for us. He would take a couple of days and we used to be impatient. The excitement of listening to your favorite songs on the tape recorder used to be so satisfying. :D

The forward and rewind buttons for skipping and repeating the songs. Sometimes the recording used to be improper, the disappointment evident that again we need to buy a fresh empty cassette and then record. That used to cost some 50-70 Rs(my memory fails here) . Even that used to be too much for us to take out.

I love music and listening to songs. The other day was downloading the song ,that triggered this post. Nowadays there's no wait. A click of a button and the songs on your gadget.

Now buying a Caravan is on my wish-list. For the feel of tape recorder close by. We all use I pods, Tablets, I pads , even pen drives for listening to songs, but tape recorder /Walkman ki baat hi kuch aur thi.
