Do you have any antiques?

Dear fanatical readers,  I would like to know what is considered antique. What is the definition of "antique". When I think about antiques, my first thoughts are definitely not fossils! According to me, an antique is probably a gramophone, tape recorder, radio πŸ“», rotary-dial phone, or pendulum clock. With advancing technology and modernization, we upgrade ourselves with the latest available in the market.  Looking back on my memories, πŸ€” I wish I had saved a few antiques just to cherish them as memories and pass them on to the next generation. I still have my father's old SLR camera that used to work with negative film rolls. 🎞 Comment on the antique you possess and your memories of it.! Let's share our stories.  With loads of love  Your buddy ☺ Do you still have any left?

What book did you last read? I am guilty as charged. The last book I read was Inferno by Dan Brown. I realized that it had been over...

Friend or Digital friend?

 Dear friendly readers, πŸ‘« When was the last time you hung out with actual human beings? Do you remember playing Hangman or a game of charades? 🎲 GenZ doesn't even know what these are! I am not discussing the followers or subscribers or the friend list on any social media.  I am talking about an actual human being.  Is the reality striking really hard? About me...... Well... thinking,,,, Trying to recollect....πŸ€” OMG, I don't remember at all!  The world is spinning too fast and too digital. I am aware that all have deadlines and goals to reach. Now is better than never. Now that I have mentioned it out loud, I am planning for an evening tea πŸ«–with one of my friendsπŸ‘­ whom I have not met for over 2 decades 😱. Now, I know that is a lot, but at least I am making a beginning.  Your task for today. Think of the friend whom you really like to connect with in person. Fix an hour for them, and comment on your experience below! I will post mine soon.  With loads o...
