Remember those pink colored fluffy cotton candies?...the ones that the old street hawker used to bring in a pack of six. He would come after school hours and make announcements in cacophonous though sweet voice, sweet because the very name would leave a person's mouth watered, 'budhiya ke baal lelo......'! Well aware of my liking for the same, he used to wait a bit longer while passing by my house. And believe me convincing my mother for buying it was far more difficult then convincing my manager for approving my leaves.
Yesterday, while coming from office I happened to see cotton candies and though there was nothing special in that I did feel a bit nostalgic, may be because I got to see them after a long while. But to my surprise this time they were available in various colors ranging from 'blue' to 'silver'. Probably the Budhiya has started coloring her hair these days :). But seriously, these are the things that bring back the memories of childhood. Infact there are many such things that we used to eat when we were kids and hardly do we get to see them these days. For example, the various kind of Churans, then woh ice cream jo pipe mein aati thi aur ek ka toh main bhi bhul gaya hun; but haan the person selling it used to bring some elastic material roped around a big stick and then he used to prepare so many creatures out of it like Bichhoo, Elephant, lockets etc. And then we use to eat infact khate kam thay aur dusron ko chidhate jyada thay....
How I wish the same days were back!!!!!
