So, the year 2017 has ended and
you surely packed and boxed up all the memories of the past back in your
hippocampus lobe of the brain for long-term and future recalling, did you?
Definitely, the past year did bring all of us
some sadness too alongside happiness. But isn’t it the rule of life? Don’t be
sad about the things that aren’t yours. Be cheerful for the good days that will
assuredly come again and be strong to welcome life’s miseries and sorrows. Try
to apply the sense of ‘Let Go’ in your life. In fact, start getting positive
vibes from inside your inner soul.
As a matter of fact, all of the
90s kids had become adult too by the end of 2017 which means that our teenage
blithe moments are gone now and a feeling of grown-up passes by our senses (Yet
hope that we start acting like a mature adult). Breathe-in that we are still
alive and have the power to do great things in future. Breathe-out that past
remain in the past no matter what.
Okay coming to the major point
for which I am about to write, though I have created much of the drama in the
above paragraphs *LOL* As 2017 was the year for reaching adulthood for all the
90s kids, 2018 is surely the year of some of our great childhood and teenage
things. These things are turning mature this year. Yes, I meant to say that
these things will be celebrating their 20 years of existence in 2018 which
means that they step on to the world in 1998. So, read and revive the memories.
Jack sank in the North Atlantic
Ocean and it feels like he landed in our hearts. Wasn’t it? Well, it goes for
me definitely because of jack’s mesmerizing and breathtaking sketches (Oops,
Did I disclose my biggest secret?). The chemistry of Kate and Leo still
continues even after two decades of Titanic’s picturing. The movie won 11
Oscars and it absolutely deserved them. I mean what the masterpiece James
Cameron has made, after all, he is a Canadian filmmaker. In the same year, many
other movies also hit the screens like Saving Private Ryan, Armageddon, Patch
Adams, The Waterboy, and There's Something About Mary but none of them
succeeded on the box office and of course on the viewers’ hearts as Titanic
did. A long debate had been going on that there was a space for two persons on
the door raft on which Rose was lying and Jack could have been saved. The
director did resolve the argument by rejecting that they both couldn’t have
saved on a single raft. Well, compose yourself by saying that it was the fate
and destiny of the two lovebirds just like the reckoned Titanic ship.
It still feels in 2018 that my
heart will go on whenever the soundtrack plays on. Celine Dion’s ‘my heart will
go on’ is also turning 20 this year along with Titanic. How beautifully she
sang it. It feels like the chills and adrenaline are rushing through the spine
with the power and waves of the ocean every time the song hits our eardrums. It
still is on my tracklist and I believe that it is on yours too.
This American’s Drama Series
banged the screens and also the door of our hearts on 20th January
1998. This teenage drama plus romance revolves around a group of friends
Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen. Their high school and further college days ran
from 1998 to 2003 leaving an absolute marking on viewer’s hearts. In short, the
show was popular and still is and love by the peoples. Just look at Dawson’s
ugly crying face, I bet you laugh hard.
This pop band ‘Spice Girls’
emerged from London and soon starting their pace towards the hearts of millions
by their unique songs. Not only that, but their distinct fashion approaches
caused a different type of hype among the peoples of that time. The band was
led by 5 ladies namely Victoria Beckham as "Posh Spice", Melanie
Brown as "Scary Spice", Emma Bunton as "Baby Spice",
Melanie Chisholm as "Sporty Spice", and Geri Halliwell as
"Ginger Spice". (I never knew that lady Beckham had got some voice
too apart from fashion senses). They set up feminine and girls power in epic style
and made a new fashion statement specifically their exclusive shoes for teens
and tweens of that time which is turning 20 this year.
The power couple Brad Pitt and
Jennifer Aniston were seen 20 years ago in almost every event. They were
spotted in different areas, also hands in hands on the red carpet. It was the
time when Jen’s ‘Friends’ was airing and Brad was filming ‘Interview with a
Vampire’ and ‘Fight Club’. Well, the power couple married in 2000 and divorced
in 2005, sadly. And soon he divorced another lady Angelina Jolie in 2014 and
regretted that he left Jen for Angelina (Brad looked good with Angelina
*Bruuhh*).
Larry Page and Sergey Brin
attempted a different setup for the biggest number which is googolplex in
September 1998. Googolplex is 1 which is accompanied with 100s of zeros. But
they wrote the wrong spelling “googol”. They liked it and added it to their
search engine having a noun, a verb and a factor that would surely transform
everything for life.
“Hit me baby one more time.” This
1998’s track is also turning 20 this year. Britney Spears has been rocking our
headphones with this pop anthem for 20 years, making us beat the dance floors
with the track. The video did signify the high school musical genre and fame of
plaid skirts of girls.
Furbies were electronically
devised toy, first came in the markets in 1998. This robotic toy resembled a
hamster or owl and sold with a massive number of 1.8 million in 1998 with a
label of the must-have toy. The idea behind the development of this toy was to
make children learn English by talking with the kids, with an ability to
restore vocabs from time to time. By the year 2000, the selling reached up to a
massive number 40 million toys. The good part is that they are still available.
The iMac originated in 1998 by
the Apple Inc having round shape and exciting colors to flourish you with
domestic playful technology for easy-using and better working. This too is
turning mature, by the way, this year.
This hilarious comedy series also
will be celebrating its 20 years in 2018. The story of a sex columnist Carrie
Bradshaw with her three friends Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda made a funny
and stupid bunch of friends that finished people to laugh hard till their stomach
hurt. Set up in Manhattan, these four ladies were head out to date several men
throughout the series because these 4 women seemed to be a little backward,
inert, and insensible in terms of sex and dating. You still giggle up if you
watch the season in 2018.
Well, whether these things turn
20 or 50, they remain as important to us as before. A big high-five to all the
people out there who still enjoy these things!
