Remember that ringtone? Or were you too young? Those paused buzzes lighting up the
house. Well, now everyone’s got a screen in their pocket that, most of them, just keep
on silent every time. Those small bricks are now almost sleek computers. Obviously, we
all gained in this transition. Better networks, higher definition cameras, and even TikTok.
Okay, maybe not everything was a gain.
But do rethink that. Can you bring back that “Snake” game feeling? That physical feel
of the keyboard in your hand? Those “phone kiske paas hai?!” chaotic moments in the
household because there was only one device?
That’s my point, really: nostalgia isn’t supposed to be complicated like those old houses,
beautiful vacations, or family moments. It can be as simple as that small brick that your
parents gave you for 5 minutes to play “Snake”.
