Just read the news that 25 paise or most popularly called "chavani" will no longer be accepted and July 1st was the last day to exchange it at Banks or RBI.There are so many fond memories associated with this chavani and goodies it could buy. Those were indeed "simple" and "sweet" times. World was not as fast paced as now and ofcourse chavani could buy things like "toffes" and "those "yellow crackers" which meant world then as a child. And yea two chavani can also get us a comic book for rent.
This for me symbolises that not only world is changing but I am getting old. Things I have grown up with are becoming part of history and are considerd obsolete and are now for preservation and keeps!! Wow!! the same feeling a generation older then me would have felt when " printer gave way to computers" and Black and White TV's to colored ones. Now I understand that famous phrase even more " hamara zamane mein tu" LOL..
Well nothing is constant but change and life has become more pricey now for sure. Will try to keep up with its updates and price!!!
