Some of us were hippies and yuppies.
We looked good in bell bottoms and turn-ups, went through pencils "drainpipes"

Walked, cycled,
rode , drove ,
went on train, on sea, played in the streets with dust, mud, went underground ,
hung in the air , surfed , flew & now awaiting the Elon Musk SpaceX to Moon.
Wow!!!
What a Life it's been
*Yes, we also went through many more... like:*
Typically, we can be termed as "Xennials"....
a "cross-over generation"
of people whose birth yrs were in the 40s/50s ....
had an analogue childhood, a digital adulthood, and now a 'SeenAll ager
Literally....our generation has lived through, witnessed so much n more in every dimension of life...
This is our generation that
has given a new paradigm
to the word "CHANGE"
