Once upon a time in the world before corona (BC) laughter was considered the shortest distance distance two brains. It was an unstoppable infectious spread that'd build an instant social bond. But since the advent of Chinese Coronavirus, technology has replaced a good hearty laugh to connect with people, friends or strangers.
In olden times we would huddle in a room sing, dance and revel through the night, but after March 2020 we are supposed to keep distance and wear mask to hide our smiles from each other.  
Bonhomie today, is limited to various video calling apps which connects people but not hearts. The social distancing and lack of physical proximity is driving us apart. Slowly our memories are being confined to our mobile phone storage. 
This footage in this video is a recovered recording from an old phone.
"Once Upon a A Time"  is a homage to the lost bonhomie, to the times of revelry, to the Kick-Ass Fun we had in each other's company before Circa 2020 (BC) and last but not the least it rekindles old memories and fills us with nostalgia.
Its and old footage recorded on a not-so-smart phone during a house party with friends, my partners in crime. All through the night we where dismembering a nonsensical word for the nonsensical world. 
The word was JANTLES which may or may not be noun, verb or adjective. Jantles has no meaning yet can have a multiple meaning. 
It's like Schrodinger's cat but a word. The video will make sense if you are well versed with Quantum Physics (*Joking). To better understand the video there is subtitles in English for all the non Hindi viewers.
On a serious note we hope the world retains its status quo as soon as possible. But until then we can have a few laughs. As they say laughter is the best medicine.
