Once Upon a Time in Shaolin

In just a few decades, we have lost our sweet memories. The differences between the past and the present are pretty noticeable. There was not much TV in the house before. Even though there was a TV, there was no line for dishes.

I still remember turning the TV antenna on the house's roof to see if any channel was clear. And the happiest day was Friday. Because on that one day, every Friday at 2:30 pm, the movie was watched on Channel BTV with the family. I would have finished all the work beforehand. But now everyone has a TV in their house. But now, no one is interested in watching Swadeshi movies. I have noticed that even with so many channels on TV, it is difficult to find a soundtrack to watch. Indeed those days are not to be forgotten.

I used to ride on my father's shoulder all the time. If I didn't return home before evening, I would see my mother standing in front of the door with a stick when it was a little late. When my father used to go to the office, I would tell him by ear to bring shanpapari. These are no longer available in stores if you want.

When I used to go to the village, I ate ice cream shanpapari, ran to my mother, and took a deposit of two rupees. But now there is no time for that 2tk. I have been in the village for so many days and have not had a chance to eat that ice cream till now. Even if you want to, you will not find it in the alleys. Because in the evolution of time, we have lost them. There was no shortage of open fields before. In the afternoon, I would go away to play with my friends. Kanamachhi, Lukochuri, Dariabandha, and thousands of other games were played together.

But now the playground is lost in the crowd of buildings. I still remember my sister and I playing the telephone in two boxes. Do you place the coconut leaves? At that time, we did not have any brand watches. But the most in-demand was the coconut leaf clock. After reading that, I used to walk around all day. I used to make small with date leaves.

But all this is a kind of gossip. Today's friends spread love and sympathy on social media. But these friends can't be found offline. But in the old days, if you didn't go to play on the field one day, all your friends would come home and show up. At that time, even if there were no laptops or smartphones, the loved ones used to stay by their side. But now, when he calls his loved ones, he hangs up the phone on the pretext of being busy.

We used to sleep on our mother's lap. But nowadays, exceptions happen. It is often seen that children watch cartoons on their mobile phones, and They fall asleep watching. We have also changed a lot with the touch of technology; our mindset has changed. At present, we may have succeeded in much more technology. But even then, I would say we have lost to all of this ourselves. So maybe I couldn't hold on to anything from the old days.

We have no choice but to tell the past story to the present generation. Over time, we will keep those days as memories but never get back. Sweet memories will be written on the pages of our memories. So I will try to hold on to the good and bad memories of the present so that the next generation remembers the past through us.
