When life was Slow: An '80s Kid's Diary

Step into the world of a 1980s Kerala childhood, where every day was an adventure waiting to unfold. From muddy floods and banana rafts to chalk-dusted classrooms and nib-pencil experiments, this collection of stories captures the magic of simpler times. Relive the thrill of cassette tapes playing on loop, the chaos of cotton-filled sacks flying everywhere, and the joy of cycling through sun-drenched lanes with stickers, training wheels, and endless laughter. Discover the delight of plantain raft-making, paper boats, and newsprint rough drafts, alongside funny mishaps, playful pranks, and unforgettable moments with cousins, friends, and family. With humor, warmth, and vivid nostalgia, this book is a heartfelt tribute to a childhood full of imagination, curiosity, and the unfiltered joy of growing up before screens took over.
