Bah to Wah - Reminiscence of a great town

"There were lots many things that we lost in the due course of time" replied Uncle Ramu.1months back when I was in town, I was talking about the "old Bah" with few older people. They were really missing old charm, and were geting too nostalgic.

Then Ramu uncle spoke again, Beta, you don't know, how orderly things used to be, like- There used to have a library, well furnished and with good quality of books.- There used to have Train facilities.-There used to have cowsheds.- There used to be a very unique "Barat Milap". People used to come from very far away.-It was said in "Bateshwar fair" one can get anything from aunt to elephant.-Water and sanitary condition were in good shape.-There used to be very organized "Grain Market".-..... so and so........
Every things washed away in due course of time, reasons, no body knows. Seems people have changed.
And I could only reply, "Could be."
