Visits to Appu Ghar were such a fun part of my childhood ! You caught the mood right - the anticipation, fun and later the inevitable wistful comparison with Essel World. My nemesis was the Columbus ride - you remember that ? Big ship moving in a pendulum motion. Loved reading this nostalgic piece. Look forward the next 25 !
oh man, that columbus. i encountered it at several diwali melas over the years. i remember the only time i rode it, my friend said, "sit at the back, it's the most fun" and when i finally opened my eyes, I was basically at a 90 degree angle to the earth. uff. never again!
So well written, as always. Do give podcasting a try, it is fun and easy and there are so many apps that allow you to experiment. Folks like me are waiting with unopened popcorn packets.

Thank you so much! I think I'm better at writing down my words though than saying them but I *do* have some good podcast ideas :)
