Many yearn rewinding their lives to commemorate those treasured moments whilst some long a dig into the past to re-live in a better way. In actuality, we loose the present chasing future and desiring the lost past.
My top 5 nostalgic moments:
- Barbapapa – Periodically I wonder how this cartoon occupies a slot in my mind. I was six years old when i last last watched this classic in a black and white television. It is true that thoughts in young brain stands like a nail in banana tree. Every Sunday morning around 9ish, i used to sit before television, trying truly hard to swallow a cup of complan drink and watch the Barba family changing shapes like amoeba to entertain me and other characters inside the show. I was just one of them. Innocent Days!.
- 8th grade – The most successful year in my life till date. I was school topper in academics the whole year. I was unsurpassable. All teachers loved me. I tasted my first success in badminton, acquired my first gold medal for excelling in academics and won an opportunity to be part of my first ever science project at school. I have never ever been so successful in my entire life. Golden Days!.
- 1st year college – Clueless of life outside school I still remember my first day at college loitering like a lost lamb. Despite yearning to rewrite most of my moments in college, I still cherish the first year. New friends, first college cultural, first fashion show; and very first time I came across girls who can scream at top of their voices in auditorium. It was the beginning of a whole new life. Rejuvenating Days!.
- 1st IT job – After few non-IT job stints I landed in one stable career as an IT trainer. Our world was very small. Just 4 us, who ran the complete show in the company with great efficacy, right from training, to development, to setting up computers in network for 50+ people to carry out their project work. The more the responsibility the more we self educated. Our ensemble had an innate knowledge of “fun at work”. I rarely remember even a single day with no fun despite huge boulders at job. We laughed and we dreamt high. Simple yet Ambitious Days!.
- 1st week abroad – From a little caterpillar I was endowed with an opportunity to break from cocoon and empower in becoming a butterfly to fly far away from my comfort zone. Being my first time away from my parents and homeland, it was bemusing and amusing. The transition from a roasting hot weather to freezing cold conditions, change in time zones, variety of characters with diverse cultural background; it was tough initially yet a gleeful experience. The new found independence taught me mammoth lessons in life. Adventurous Days!.
After few years from now, when I look back will the list remain the same? No clue. But these wonderful days carved its niche in the journey of my life.
