Creating, Preserving Culture\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

Wedding dessert buried deep inside the freezer<\/p>

for five decades. During a deep cleaning session, lady<\/p>

observed: \u2018Do not open until 2018!\u2019 A chunk of wedding cake<\/p>

preserved, to be shared on their fiftieth anniversary\u2026the<\/p>

sharing of vows ne\u2019er happened- her better half gone!<\/p>

Son encouraged Mom to unwrap the aluminum foil,<\/p>

and let it thaw; pushing aside skeptical views:<\/p>

\u2018No concerns, the oldest one is about 161 years old!\u2019<\/p>

\u2018Gharchola sarees are cherished family heirlooms<\/p>

passed down through generations…\u2019 Isha Ambani\u2019s<\/p>

wedding outfit \u2013 a 16-panelled ghagra worth hundreds<\/p>

of crores. Noteworthy, the drape on her shoulder \u2013<\/p>

Mom Nita\u2019s 35-year-old wedding sari!<\/p>

Connecting with people and places, not just from<\/p>

the present but also from the past, reveals a world anew.<\/p>

Sepia-tone photographs, hand-written letters,<\/p>

crumpled diaries, the scent of old books<\/p>

bring along infinite sensory pleasures,<\/p>

greater awareness to rediscover talents,<\/p>

traditions, customs, and practices; such narratives<\/p>

help to establish identities, core to our very being,<\/p>

to recognize we\u2019re leaves of one gigantic tree \u2013<\/p>

\u201cHumaniqueness!\u201d<\/p>
