Nostalgia runs through this writer’s mind when we speak to Aradhana Nagpal, the founder of DHOOP, a now-shuttered culture gift shop in Bandra. She talks about the memories of riding a bicycle in her nani’s backyard and of children playing in the mud at a local garden, instantly taking us down the memory lane, long-forgotten in the grapples of growing up. In an effort to bring this life experience — that has now been overpowered by the clutches of technology — back to the youngest generation of today to witness, the erstwhile platform along with The Vintage Garden, a shopping space in Bandra West, are reviving Garmi Ki Chutti — a children’s summer festival.
