Things ain't what they were...
A friend was telling me the other day, that he was wasting all his time watching Dragonballs. DRAGONBALLS!! Of all things! And it got me thinking of today's cartoons, and how they have become the mindless talking heads and the excessively 'cute n cuddly' creatures. Look at POKEMON, I cant make any sense of it, but all the kids are obsessed with it. There is some kind of card game too. Oh, how I miss Topcat and Bugs Bunny. Those were real cool cartoons. I even like Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack which are somewhat recent and Simpsons of course (I think it is for grownups). I guess I'm just getting old, but the friend I talked about is older than me :)

I used to watch Smurfs,Heidi,He-Man,Tint Toon,Flintstones..and Tsubasa of course :) most of which are found boring, fool and unenjoyable by today's children.. Sure we get older, but already it is us who canalize their interests. They watch what u give. They like bloody action cartoons, violent films and toy guns.. And yes, that is the generation we create!

Hello ppl,
I was on vacation (from everything including computers) for three weeks, so I've been ignoring my blog till now
@sedef - Oh cool, you are from TURKEY! wow!! Everything about the place must be so unique and so full of culture.
@keerthy - Yea i'm in iitm too. Sreejith and Karthik are my classmates now. And I think tigers and the cat family in general is so much more cooler than deers :)
