This felt personal. I had seen similar situation. At many families, the manpower is reducing. The traditions are fading away with a bleak future. I wish we could turn back time to the good old days where the big families celebrated the festivals together.

It is sad to see big families get reduced to 10 people in attendance.

This is such a touching reflection on how families change with time. The contrast between the 100+ people of childhood and the 20 people now makes the impact really powerful. Uncle’s “power of M” and the final promise beautifully capture how progress can bring success while quietly taking people farther from home. ❤️🙏

It is heartbreaking to see how the family shrunk over the time. The spirit of the festival stays alive with people. When people are not around, power of money is not enough to keep the festive spirit.
