Went out for an evening walk with a very handsome boy. He says he is just like me, he too likes Tom and Jerry. And the walk went on, talking about cartoons. He talked about 'Antiks,' a cartoon he loves dearly. I am too old I realized to even know about 'Antiks,' so I let him lead the conversation. I kept nodding to his descriptions. I come from the time when Doordarshan showed, 'Jungle Book' at 11 am every Sunday then 'Talespin,' and 'Ducktales' would be aired. Sundays were the best days. My heart would beat faster every morning.

But this boy can watch whatever cartoon he wants whenever he wants just by clicking on 'YouTube' on a smartphone. He kept talking and I kept holding his hand to keep him safe as the speeding cars passed by.
The walk ended and he left home with his Mommy. "Absolutely we are alike." That's what he said as he bade his goodbye. I nodded my head now laden with some grey hair, in agreement as I logged into Twitter to check my feed.

If my work has made an impact on you and you can buy me a coffee here. This will help me to keep writing and healing more. Thank you.
