Johnny was grounded for fighting at school and can't go to the movies for two weeks.

"Go to your room , you are grounded !! " an irritated George told his son Charlie. What exactly did that mean ? Being Grounded meant that it was a reduction in privileges. It meant that you couldn’t watch TV, no access to your PC or your PLAYSTATION 3, no parties, no telephone,no going out of the house except for school or it could also mean that you are securely fastened to some deeply held, basic commitments that give shape and focus to all that you do as a salesperson.Ahem..I'll go with no TV. I've never been grounded, wait a minute I was once electrocuted so to connect with the ground so as to make the earth a part of an electrical circuit can also be "grounded" right ?? Well if I were to be grounded in the early 80's, when Doordarshan was launched and cartoons were in Black and white, I would not have been sent to my room, because I didn’t have my own room :)and the only other room was the sitting room, where we had to keep our Vespa Scooter at night. Oh Yeah! i used to sit on it and my mom used to feed me dinner ;) NO TV : Well we had just one TV with 1 channel with 2 hours of transmission from 7 to 9pm ( snooze time for me) NO PC : Yeah rite NO Parties : Ahem ..Not even the Congress party ? NO going out of the house except for school: Duh!the best part was always going to school. Thank God, they didn't say no meeting Julie :)
