One more samosa, aunty: Inside the joyful birthday parties of 90s
The balloons would be half-inflated by noon, held up with tape that never quite stuck. There would be a faint smell of samosas frying in the kitchen, and a cake box tucked safely in the fridge with "Happy Birthday" written in bright red jelly. It was your big day, not just because you were turning seven or nine or eleven, but because, on one glorious evening, your house would become the loudest, happiest place on the 90s India, birthday parties weren't about scale, they were about feeling. They were as homemade as the Rasna we drank and as heartfelt as the handmade cards our friends brought. No banquet halls, no Pinterest themes, no return gift hampers curated on Amazon. Just you, your gang of friends, and a celebration that stayed in your bones long after the balloons had LIVING ROOM WAS THE PARTY HALL On the day of the party, the living room would be cleared out, the centre table pushed aside, the sofa cushions stacked neatly, the walls decorated with paper streamers that were reused every year. Someone always hung the shiny "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner slightly crooked, and no one bothered to fix it. You'd be dressed in new clothes, frilly, polyester, and just a little itchy , waiting for the doorbell to guest list was simple: school friends, cousins, neighbourhood buddies. The invitation? A phone call or a casual mention at school. No fancy e-vites or confirmation lists yet somehow, everyone turned CAKE, CHIPS, AND SAMOSAS WERE A FEAST The food was the real showstopper. There were no buffets, no sushi counters. Just the delicious regulars that made every 90s party feel familiar and full. Hot samosas, wafers piled high in steel bowls, and the unmistakable sweet smell of pineapple or chocolate cake. If you were lucky, it had sugar roses on top, which led to epic fights over who got the biggest the cake-cutting and awkward singing (always off-beat, always enthusiastic), dinner would be served usually puri bhaji or chole bhature, made by hand and served with second helpings by beaming aunties who called every kid "beta."And the drinks? Always Rasna. Sometimes orange, sometimes mango always served chilled in reused glass PURE JOY OF UNWRAPPING PENCIL BOXES AND LUDO The gifts weren't expensive, but they were perfect. A new pencil box, a jigsaw puzzle, maybe a copy of Tinkle or a glow-in-the-dark sticker set. There was something deeply special about unwrapping them later, one by one, carefully peeling off the tape to save the wrapping paper for future of course, the best gifts were the board games Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, Business. Not just fun, but lasting memories that continued the party long after everyone had gone MUSIC WAS LOUD, THE GAMES WERE LOUDERadvertisementThe games were everything. Not tech-driven, not outsourced just classic fun that needed no screen. Musical chairs with cassette players. Passing the parcel with folded chits that dared you to sing or dance. Pin the tail on the donkey with blindfolds that were always a bit music? Aqua, Vengaboys, Made in India, or the Jungle Book theme. Played on a two-in-one tape recorder. Sometimes, even stopped mid-song when the batteries CHANGED ,AND WHY WE MISS IT Today, birthday parties are different. They're bigger, bolder, and often more about the adults than the kids. Event planners, fondant cakes, Insta reels, and themed dcor dominate. Return gifts are curated, menus are global, and costs often hit five figures sometimes today have more disposable income, and both usually work, which often means less time but a desire to make up for it with more elaborate gestures. There's pressure too to "do more," "do better," and "make it memorable." But somewhere in the middle of all the glitter and the glamour, we lost something simple the joy of messy, noisy, heartfelt home CALL TO BRING BACK THE CHAOSIf you were a 90s kid, you probably remember your birthdays not because they were grand, but because they were yours. Entirely, wholeheartedly, wonderfully maybe this year, throw a party like it's 1997. Blow up some balloons, order that ?150 pineapple cake, put on a cassette (or a playlist that sounds like one), and invite over the kids next door. Play musical chairs. Serve samosas. Skip the return gift if you in the end, it's not the budget or the theme that makes birthdays memorable. It's the laughter. The cake-smudged cheeks. The Rasna moustaches. The chaos. The we could all use a little more of credit: Generative AI by Ayushi Srivastava- Ends

Netflix Parents Are Taking Over The Indian Living Room
One of my fondest memories of growing up was rushing home after school, dumping my bag in a corner, and plonking myself on the couch beside my mum. It was ritualistic. A warm lunch, with the side of the daily drama of her favourite TV serial playing on our television. The plotline was never predictable. Someone's secret twin would appear. A long-lost son would return from the dead. Marriages, betrayals, miraculous recoveries - everything that made our jaws drop and eyes widen. With my dad, it was all about watching his eyes light up as he rewatched the same three Rajinikanth action sequences on loop. Or that emotional Hrishikesh Mukherjee film, which made him pretend he had "something in his eye". Our living room became a theatre of shorts, albeit with outdated tech and limited choices. But that was the thing. We didn't have options. Today, the rules have changed. Star Plus turned into Sony, which brought them reality shows; Sony turned into Colors, which brought them Big Boss; a version of some reality. Now, it's Netflix and other OTT platforms. Welcome to the age of the 'Netflix Parents'. The generation that once patiently waited for the 9 pm slot for their favourite show has now embraced OTT platforms with enthusiasm. And trust us, the living room dynamics are never going to be the same. So, Who Exactly Are Netflix Parents? They're in their 30s, 40s, 50s. They are not scared of technology like WhatsApp, but might donate their money to the Nigerian Prince. Now, with Netflix and other OTT platforms on their hands, they're suddenly bingeing thrillers from Spain, courtroom dramas from America, and Malayalam thrillers. View this post on Instagram A post shared by srishti garg (@srishtigargg) They're the ones with whom you can now have a conversation like, "Have you watched The Night Manager yet? Or those who you will catch on the weekends wanting to finish the last two episodes of Made in Heaven. What's Causing This Shift 1. Accessibility Like Never Before Earlier, content was linear and limited. Families watched whatever was available. Now, with OTT platforms, there's content for every taste and mood. Whether it's slow-burn romances, fast-paced thrillers, or docuseries about royal scandals, there's something for every parent. This also came with the increasing accessibility of smart TVs and cheaper plans on OTT platforms. For instance, in December 2021, Netflix introduced a Rs 149 plan for mobile phones. Moreover, with parents (also) using more social media than ever, the Reels and YouTube Shorts that often go viral from these series, might also generate a curiosity amongst them, which further pushes them to watch these shows on OTT. 2. No More Language Barrier Today's parents are watching Tamil web series with Hindi subtitles, English thrillers dubbed in Bengali, and Korean dramas with a bucket of popcorn. The barriers of language have melted, with the increased use of subtitles and dubbing in their language. Today, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video offer a wide range of languages for both subtitles and dubbing, making content more accessible to a wider audience. According to a recently released YouGov survey, more than seven in ten people in India (72%) prefer watching content in languages other than the ones they speak or understand, with subtitles. 3. More Free Time For many, parenting duties have scaled down. With children grown up and perhaps even moved out, this new-found time is being used not just sharing WhatsApp forwards, but for Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar. And unlike before, no one is judging them for watching "too much TV". 4. The Content Is Finally Relatable Gone are the days of slapstick comedy or over-the-top melodrama with a larger-than-life actor and his family. Today's content reflects real issues, complex emotions, flawed characters, and this resonates deeply with parents who've lived through their own rollercoasters. Shows like Delhi Crime, Guilty Minds, or Special Ops, Aarya offer depth or nostalgia, while series like Panchayat and Gullak hit closer to home. 'It's Humanising Parents' "My father can argue for hours against anyone who doesn't believe Breaking Bad is the greatest show ever." "My baba watches everything that comes out on OTT and recommends the good stuff, there are a lot of times when I am not aware about the shows but he knows everything." "it is so beautiful to see them soak in all the concepts that are apparently new for them with a lot of depth. My mom being an educator now understands things a lot better when it comes to the nitty gritty of her students, I think I have personally felt that. " "Made my dad watch Chernobyl and he thinks it's the best show to exist." These were some comments from a viral post about how Indian parents are becoming more familiar with OTT platforms. "I think having my parents watch the same show as me humanises them so much more, especially when you grow up thinking they are separate from you," the video says. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shaima (@peachrinq) Clearly, this OTT evolution has become a cultural glue in many homes. The dinner table or phone calls no longer echo (only), " Beta, shaadi kab karoge (When will you get married)?" Instead, it's full of, "Don't tell me how it ends!" In a world increasingly fragmented by screens, Netflix and its OTT siblings are bringing families back to the same couch. Shared shows lead to shared jokes, theories, debates, and sometimes even tears. The living room becomes a space for bonding again, not just across generations, but across tastes. A New Kind Of Parenting These Netflix Parents are not just consuming content, they're engaging with it. They're recommending shows to their kids, arguing about cinematography, and even sharing memes. They're also more emotionally expressive than ever. A mother who earlier might have brushed off sensitive topics can now discuss mental health after watching Masaba Masaba. They are also getting familiar with issues like divorce, extramarital affairs and more, which were once considered nothing more than a taboo. It's not an exaggeration to say that they're becoming more open, empathetic, and intellectually curious, thanks to a well-timed recommendation algorithm. Interestingly, OTT is also bridging the past and present. Platforms are not just about new shows, they're reviving classics. Parents are watching old DD serials and movies that have been re-released digitally and introducing them to their children. We Are Absolutely Here For It It's easy to dismiss this lifestyle change as just another example of parents "finally catching up" with the tech-savvy younger generation. But it's more than that. This is about identity. About agency. About storytelling. And most importantly, about connection. OTT platforms have made parents open their doors not just to content but also to conversations. PS: If your parents are still resisting the OTT wave, start them off with series like Scam 1992 and Panchayat, or a gripping crime show like Delhi Crime.

Friendship Day goes old-school style in city
Ranchi: Friendship Day celebrations in Ranchi still carry the warmth of handwritten notes, friendship bands and quirky gifts, long before emojis and Instagram stories took over. Despite the digital wave, the city's youth and grown-ups continue to cherish old-school ways of celebrating friendship. Markets at Albert Ekka Chowk, GEL Church Complex, and Main Road were abuzz on Sunday with teenagers giggling over colourful bands, vintage-style greeting cards, and shelves lined up with mugs printed with quotes like "Partners in Crime" and "Yaari Forever." Arnav Mehta, a Class 12 student of St Xavier's, said, "I came here with my group just like we used to do in school. We didn't want WhatsApp messages this year; we're writing letters. It feels more personal." Shivani Kumari, a second-year B Com student, also said, "We've grown up seeing our seniors exchange bands and cards on the first Sunday of August. Even though we're in college now, the tradition still excites us. I bought scented pens to write individual notes." On the day, greeting card shops saw a welcome revival. At Firayalal, the tiny Archie's-style stalls were surrounded by school-goers and college students hunting for the perfect token of affection. "Friendship Day is that one occasion when cards sell more than phone covers. This year, handmade cards and quirky magnets are trending. I sold over 500 bands in just two days," said S K Tiwari, who runs a gift shop at the GEL Church shopping complex.
