Here are some of the memories that may transport the 90s kids back to their childhood.
Growing up from playing Mario on video games to using the 'Nataraj' pencils in schools, the 90s kids have grown through different eras. Walkmans, floppy disks, and 'lattu' are not the only things that have been replaced with new era tech gadgets and games. Immersed in a world full of gadgets, mobile phones, and social media, the kids of the new generation have a totally different childhood than most of those who grew up in the 1990s.
Here are some of the memories that may transport the 1990s kids back to their childhood.

VCR or a video cassette recorder, was a device that recorded, stored, and played back television programs on a TV set by means of a cassette of magnetic tape.
In the modern era of OTT platforms, where watching a show or a movie is just a few clicks away, it will be hard to believe that for many years, people used VCR for the best cinema experience at home.
Doordarshan channel

Doordarshan is a channel that evokes so many unforgettable nostalgic memories. For those born between 1990 and 2000, the channel nurtured their childhood and gave them shows like Ramayan, Mahabharat and Shaktiman.
It was the sole source of entertainment on television and Sunday mornings were the perfect time to watch Mukesh Khanna's Shaktiman.

'Lattu' or spinning top is one of the oldest desi toys played in India. The lattu spins rapidly with the aid of a string rope coiled around its axis which when pulled quickly, sets it in motion.
Kids back then used to play this desi game for hours. For the kids born in the 2000s, it was then the Beyblade.
Marbles or 'Kanche'

These days, one has got a Pendrive or an online backup option to save their pictures, videos, or other stuff. But not many kids in the modern generation would know what was a floppy disk.
A floppy diskette, floppy, or floppy disk was used to store electronic data, like a computer file. It was one of the first types of hardware storage created in the late 1960s which could read/write a portable device.
