We all have wonderful memories of running away from school or the time after school holidays. Especially the familiar jhalmuri tong in front of the school gate! I don't know how long I had been looking forward to eating this jhalmuri with the tiffin money I had saved. Today, while leaving school at noon, I came across such a familiar scene.
An elderly man is sitting in front of the school gate arranging his jhalmuri. A group of young students are standing around his old jhalmuri cart. The strange and beautiful sound of kneading jhalmuri, the sight of mixing spices by turning his hands and serving hot jhalmuri in paper thongs instantly took me back to the past.
As soon as I think of jhalmuri, that sharp taste of muri, chanachur, onion, chili, coriander leaves and mustard oil comes to mind. Seeing the satisfied smiles on the faces of the school students, it was clear that for them, this jhalmuri is not just food, but the best accompaniment to afternoon chat. This one jhalmuri is like the ultimate achievement for them, shaking off the pressure of exams or the fatigue of studying.
In fact, life is very short, and the source of happiness is also very simple. This school gate, the noise of friends wearing uniforms, and that extraordinary jhalmuri in the hands of the hawker, these small memories grow in the corners of the mind at the end of the day. Even though many things have changed with the touch of modernity, this simple scene of this jhalmuri seller and students in front of the school still keeps us close to the ground.
School life is all about these lively moments. Can these days of fighting with friends and sharing this jhalmuri jhalmuri be regained? Seeing this scene after a long time today, it seemed like we forget so many things in this busy life, but these childhood tastes and memories always remain indelible in our hearts.
