With fast technological advancements, things that we use in our daily lives get replaced with newer and seemingly better alternatives. Sometimes, the once-popular yesteryear articles have much potential of evoking nostalgia. Earlier today, business tycoon Anand Mahindra shared a video that showed household items that were quite popular until a few decades ago but are now replaced by their newer variants. The video showed images of items like cassette tapes, lanterns, old models of scooters, and even soaps. While sharing this video, the chairman of the Mahindra Group wrote, “What a great journey down memory lane! Wonder if someone has collected these actual physical objects and displayed them in a museum? I think GenZ would enjoy seeing them…A kind of dinosaur museum ”. What a great journey down memory lane!

Commenting on it, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit wrote, “Sir all this is available at Chor Bazar & Oshiwara market (Mumbai). We buy all this for our shoots from these very markets. .”. Another person wrote, “Fortunate to have lived through those times when they were an indispensable part of our lives!”. A Twitter user observed, “I am a millennial and I have used most of the displayed items. I believe the rate of technology adoption is also driven by how privileged/resourceful a community is! In rural Himalayan communities you can still spot a ton of these items - especially the 2 wheelers and lamps.”
