That last question hit the last nail on the coffin. Memory is a 🤥 fraud. I was instantly reminded of some experiences and how most fell on its face when repeated after years. For instance, over the weekend, I found two bakeries that make a similar toast like that of one bakery which was near my grandma's place. And this is after almost several years of searching for the same taste, many bakeries failed miserably. Even the OG (it's still around like your theatre) which I tasted some time last year didn't live up to my expectations. So the last two I mentioned above were the ones that were closest. Well, there's no moral to this story except that to live in the now and at times, visit the past as a break from the present. Altogether, there are many more things that elevate your experience of the memory you posses. It is a challenge for you to cook up that same recipe when the equation between the constants and variables fluctuate.
Absolutely love this Smriti!
So glad you liked it, Nish! 🫶

Absolutely! And perhaps a question: maybe the memory was of experiences/time spent with your grandma, rather than the taste of the toast itself. 🙂
