Nostalgic taste and smell of childhood

You would have thought that some things from childhood vanished from the face of the earth along with the ravages of time. Modern living is always chasing something new and hip. Yet some things which bring back fond memories are making a comeback. Simply nostalgic!

They are very special lozenges that will always stick in my mind ... Hacks and Lackerol treats from dad when he worked or studied late in our old hometown. He bought different candies at the small Indian run store by the road on his way home.


I remember an elderly lady was searching for these logenzes at the local grocery store a couple of years ago but she was sorely disappointed, though she half anticipated they were not in stock.


Bitter sweet but not as strong as it used to be, probably because with age, our tastebuds have become less sensitive compared to that of a child.






Cleaning linen without using harmful chemicals were a thing of the past. Your wonder how mom and granny did most of the washing by hand. Never had I expected that these light brown and almost odourless laundry soap bars are still available in the supermarket.
