School Days of the 90s: White Shoes, Slam Books, and FLAMES
Back in the 90s, school was a different world.
Kids wore white shoes they had to clean, carried Rasna or water bottles, and used ink pens.
The school bus was a fun place for Antakshari.
Classrooms had chalkboards and monitors.
Geometry boxes were treasures, and projects were family affairs with hand-drawn borders and glitter glue.
Slam books were like early social media, filled with secrets, and FLAMES was the way to see if your crush liked you.
School today is more modern, but some say it misses the charm of those simple times.
Mornings started with ironed uniforms, steel tiffin boxes, and white PT shoes.
School buses were filled with laughter, games, and the occasional hum of Antakshari.
Classrooms had blackboards and sometimes annoying class monitors.
Geometry boxes were treasured and the switch from pencils to ink pens was a rite of passage.
Projects were family affairs with glitter glue and hand-drawn borders.
