MY KITCHEN STORY
We all have personal memories of kitchen. We all know what modern kitchen is, right? So, i thought not to write about it. Let me take you to my village, 20 years back in time when i was a little girl of around 6 years. Walk with me and I'll show you how it used to be.
We had a open kitchen in a vast courtyard. My grandmother used to cook on chulha (hearth) while whole family settled on charpoy (cot) chatting amicably around her. We used to have food not on dining table but on the same place in a cool air. During festivals, i used to make delicacies with them. Relations are close-knitted in villages. Whole family will sit together and make sweets instead of buying them from shops. There was a different kind of joy in it. It is still nostalgia-inducing!-
For shouldn't it be the number of fears added to your vocabulary,
instead of the number of years, that tell your age?
Because isn't it funny that my two year old nephew's favorite song is about war, death and destruction
just because it has the words 'Red Balloons' in it.-
"बगिया में धप्प से एक आम टपका
और मुंह तोप कर
चोरी से देखता रहा इधर-उधर
उसके बाबा कहते थे
बाहर मत जाना
चंठ बच्चे झपट्टा मारते हैं
पर कोई नहीं आया
शाम-अंधेरे चूहा घसीट ले गया
बाबा ये भी कहते थे
जमाना बहुत बदल गया है
बाग में टपके आम पर
बच्चे नहीं झपटे
काल का एक और चक्र पूरा हुआ."-
