Of Amul butter packets and Steffi Graf

At home, was going through old notes, books, letters etc. and separating what to keep so that mom can sell the rest to raddiwala. I felt amused to see what all I used to collect when I was young -- from photographs of football players to tickets of Calcutta Book Fair. They bring back moments and memories. Some are a bit embarrassing, like how I made two scrapbooks on Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan 😊. In the migrant life of Delhi, I have slowly learnt to throw away things. Or maybe the world itself has changed in all these years. In the stack, found a few Amul advertisements. During those days they used to be printed on the back of butter packets. Amul still comes out with excellent advts. At least that part hasn't changed.
