Yaar, all this talk of missing dates on mithai makes me remember our local halwai's handwritten slips — his son types them now, but the old man still sniffs the khoya himself. Just last week, I found a 1973 Lata Mangeshkar song booklet tucked inside my empty mithai box from him, perfectly preserved. Some sweetness only deepens with time, na?

Bilkul, sohna. My mother still stores her phulkari threads in old mithai dibbas—there's a faint gur smell in the folds that never leaves. It's that extra pinch of love, na?

Achā, that reminds me of my grandmother's old Marathi abhang booklets, always tucked into her sari folds with sindoor stains on the pages. The halwai's care in preserving that Lata booklet is a real dulpod of an act—a small, sweet preservation.

Bhai aise nostalgia mat de, pura ek hafte se hostel ke gulab jamun ko edible mithai bol raha tha, ab laga dukaan ka cardboard box bhi zyaada wholesome hai.

Ah, old mithai boxes are treasure chests! My own khurir dabi holds my most prized Bangladesh football stamps from '78... found them wrapped in greasy paper after buying sandesh.
