A throwback clip from the late 1990s is making the internet smile again, as a resurfaced video shows Indians candidly sharing their New Year resolutions, long before social media trends and viral reels took over.The clip, uploaded on Instagram by The90sIndia, is captioned, “A rare people-bite clip from 1997, capturing how ordinary Indians spoke about New Year resolutions.” It features snippets from the iconic 1997 talk show ''Movers and Shakers,'' hosted by Shekhar Suman, which was famous for its witty street interviews and slice-of-life humour.In one memorable moment, a woman confidently declares she will stick to a strict diet. “I’m not gonna have any chaat, any sweet, etc.” Ironically, just seconds later, she proceeds to order four plates
of pao bhaji loaded with extra butter.
Another young woman shares a rather ambitious plan for the year ahead, saying she wants to have as many boyfriends as possible. Meanwhile, a third woman keeps things practical and money-minded, stating, “I want to spend less.”The video doesn’t stop there. Men and children also chime in with their amusing goals. One man announces, “Mai agle saal se jeans aur t-shirt pehnunga. (Next year, I’ll start wearing jeans and T-shirts.)” In another clip, a woman casually admits she wants to run away from home, while a young boy bluntly says, “I’m not gonna carry my books to school.”As the clip continues to do the rounds online, viewers are loving its raw honesty and simplicity. Reacting to the video, one user wrote, “Do you see the happiness in their eyes!” Another commented, “Notice they were so casual and smarter. ” A third quipped, “To think that the same people are sending WhatsApp forwards now.''
