A little joy and that matters, it’s a very old saying and very meaningful too. In this chaotic life and we all are running behind the fast and furious world. It always seems we are competing and under some CCTV camera where we are always been monitored. Somewhere we are failing countless things may be to attain a single thing. And most importantly this is called LIFE.
I remember still remember how little it might sound but the smell of the saree of a person helped me to heal the fever or how every day the breadwinner of the family discussed how his day went with his family over dinner. These may sound little but these with time attached us to the emotional connection. And without knowing how eagerly we are always looking forward to these gestures of life. The long afternoon of making achaar (pickle) or bori (a Bengali delicacy) was often watched with curious eyes, taking part in the Rabindra Jayanti program and so much more and of course the list is endless.
This is how it always that little things mattered and yes we are so lucky to be born in 20th century, perhaps the last generation who were deprived of AI and who could do homework on their own. It was definitely an era where simplicity like collecting Tarot card or getting free gifts like toys with chips was main attraction to go the market.
Gone are those days. Gone the era. Gone the time tide and changed a lot.
