Yesterday I watched an old Hindi movie called “Safar”. The things visible in the film reminded me of what I had seen growing up. How much things look different now. I was born much later than this movie(1970), around 2.4 decades later. I have seen few things because they belonged to my parents or because we stayed in Army quarters, most of which were old constructions. A few things that I got reminded of are:
- The switchboards used to be of wood and big. Huge fan regulators.
- The paperweights that were round with a small dome on top. I remember spinning those as a kid.
- The windows had half curtains. The windows used to be big.
- Using a kerosene lamp for light.
