Old among New


Oh those good old days! Our childhood days! Then our neighborhoods were not so busy, not so crowded. Hawkers shouting ‘reshmi mithai’ poured honey into the ears of children. We used to throng them and watch how they spun it on their magical machine.

The line in your report, ‘’How and when this spun sugar treat was introduced en Bangladesh is unknown, but its popularity, amongst children has never dwindled…’’ (The Spun Sugar Confection, April 29) is encouraging. It is good to know that certain things in life do not change! I personally walked down the memory lane after reading your piece.
