Carnival? What carnival? We went to our good old local mela — and the twinkling lights, the smell of fresh popcorn, those little toy stalls, trinket stalls, balloon-bursting games, the crazy jhulas — it was like stepping into a time machine and landing straight in my childhood. In a world where kids are glued to screens, malls feel the same everywhere, and entertainment is often just tapping on a tablet… this mela felt refreshingly raw. The dust on our shoes, the sound of laughter mixed with loudspeakers, the thrill of sitting on a ride that looks both exciting and slightly risky 🤠— it’s all part of the magic. Watching the kids run from one stall to another, clutching their tiny prizes like they were gold, screaming with joy on the giant wheel — it made me realize how little they actually need to be happy. And honestly, it felt good to support local artisans and shopkeepers who keep these traditions alive. So next time you see a mela, don’t just walk past — take the kids. Let them see this world of color, chaos, and pure joy. They’ll remember the experience way more than a fancy play area at a mall. Have you taken your kids to melas ever? Would you go back just for the nostalgia? #LocalMela #ChildhoodUnplugged #MakingMemories #ParentingUnplugged #FamilyDayOut #DesiVibes #SupportLocalArtisans #OfflineParenting #SimpleJoys #IndianParent #NostalgiaVibes #slowliving
