ReAlisticallY speaking, (Am)it wasn’t possible

Who says dating is only for the well-off?

If you were a youngster in the 1990s, with a limited amount of money (obviously), and more importantly, an understanding girlfriend, you could say, “Chali Aana Tu Paan Ki Dukaan Pe”.

On being asked when this not-so-clandestine meeting would happen, you could say, “Half-past three pm”.

That’s what Alka Yagnik and Amit Kumar sang in Aaj Ka Arjun (1990).

Anjaan penned the Bappi Lahiri composition.

Of course, it was realistically impossible, because people have always spent a lot (of money, not necessarily time) on those they love.
