Oonch Neech ka Paapda!

Did this name evoke some nostalgia? If yes, good. You had an awesome childhood playing those games that gave you such ever-evolving opportunities that are simply not possible when sitting in front of a screen. If you don’t trust me, listen to this story and find out how Tamkeen Bhai, an old man from Old Delhi learned a bitter reality of this life from watching kids playing ‘oonch neech ka paapda’. He finds the parable of this worldly life, that starts young, then matures and then turns old and feeble; all spent in mutual competition with each other. Listen to the story and mark the wonderful contrast of tender childhood and fragile old age, while finding many similarities too from the lens of an old man.
