Nostalgia is such a wonderful feeling. How often do we go the extra mile, barely to cherish something that had been such an integral part of our everyday?
I was emotional one day, probably missing some aspects of my childhood. So, just like my every go to solution to all life problems, I rushed to the modern bazaar to drown myself in the pool of emotions. And boy did it not disappoint! As I was performing my daily S.W.A.T. analysis of drinks, my eyes befell this tin can, perched on top of the much formidable ‘Imported Drinks’ section. And I couldn’t contain my joy. I have grown up drinking packet after packets of Milo, hoping it would turn me into a superman someday. It’s probably that bit of my childhood memories which is rarely remembered. I picked it up and searched for the apprehensive price tag (Never ever ever pick a beverage from the imported section without taking a look at the price tag, that’s a pro tip). My heart missed a heartbeat. Rs. 100/- was written in a bold font rather shamelessly. Nonetheless, I took a deep breath and bought it. There were 2 more flavours, but I just had to go with the original.
On my way back to the office, I was so thrilled, so happy that I might as well have just cried! I had a piece of my childhood in my hand.
I finally took a sip. Nothing happened. I went for it again. Suddenly I had an overload of emotions. Nope, this time it wasn’t nostalgia. It was anger. Imagine mixing a chocolate powder in water. Nothing else. Yup! That’s all that this tastes like, chocolate in water without sugar!
My childhood memories have now been spoilt forever. If you are often troubled with random attacks of nostalgia, feel free to cure yourself with a sip of this utter disgrace!
