Old among New

Oh those good old days! Our childhood days! Then our neighborhoods were not so busy, not so crowded. Hawkers shouting ‘reshmi mithai’ poured honey into the ears of children. We used to throng them and watch how they spun it on their magical machine.

It is good to know that certain things in life do not change! I personally walked down the memory lane after reading your piece.
