I remember as a young child visiting my grand parents. They lived in a 3 story apartment building. I use to help go to the basement with a bucket and fill it up with coal.
Of course someone went with me as I couldn't carry it up three flights.
How things have changed. What do you remember from your childhood?

There is so much for us to recall and remember what happened in our childhood. I mentioned one of the things that happened in my childhood, but here I would like to talk about another thing that I remember for the time being.
I used to live in an old house with a few families in the same house, but I have to say that it is a big house with a lot of rooms. This house was a two-storey one. Every time when I had to go upstairs or downstairs, I was afraid of the darkness of the flight of stairs. I almost ran and jumped a few stairs all the way up or down for my neighbours used to tell ghost stories and as a child I was scared after listening to the stories and it was natural for a child like me to be afraid of those invisible stuff. Later when I grew up, I mean, after I got married a few years later, it was pulled down for the establishment of new houses. Now this house is gone for good, but still I miss it a lot because it was the house where I was brought up together with my childhood playmates.

@williamjisir I use to be afraid to go down to the basement. My sister was afraid of the same thing even as she got older.

Yes things change, one of the few permanent things in this world is change. Just wondering what the coal is for, is it for heating or cooking?
