Tea with Salt
He was sitting on the same old chair in the garden of his house contemplating the graceful movements of the insects and his cat. He was holding his old memories and dreams in his hands breaking out all boundaries of boredom. He even was sharing chirruping with birds as he kept whistling.
His life was rainbowesque and each colour was really an epitome of thousands of amazing stories. He was so jubilant leafing through the book of his old memories. But the nostalgia made his pleasure taste like a cup of tea with salt.

This is why nostalgia usually comes tinged with regret, if only because we can't go back. Great tangible image, though.

The simile really works. Brings this home with a slight shock. Well done.

I think the bitterness came when he realized the events he was "reliving" were only a chimera, and not in the least tangible. I can see that happening. Well done.

Tea with salt? Sounds delicious to me! We all have different tastes and I think I like this guy. Excellent tale, Ali.

Hmm. I enjoyed your fine description of the old man's reverie and never anticipated any bitterness.
