Growing up as an Indian kid born in the 90s sure can generate a different league of memes altogether. Those were the days of innocent indulgences, crazy fun and a carefree, happy existence. What’s more, the best days of our lives have also given us some of our funniest memories and hilariously nostalgic recollections. Here are 15 childhood misconceptions every 90s born can relate to-

#9 This broke my heart
Hearts were always interpreted as such simple things, in perception and even in shape. Only growing up we realised how complicated the heart can be, in looks as also in all those emotions it encompasses.
