Nostalgia from My Pen??
This book is not about history.
It is about memory... simple & pure memories of childhood.
It is about growing up in the 1960s and 70s --
when life moved a little slower,
friendships were simpler,
and happiness did not need much money --
only moments.
Through ten short pieces, "Nostalgia from My Pen ??" captures everyday memories of childhood and growing up in the Gali -- Mohalla of Delhi in India.
School days, friendships, gilli danda, kamal Talkies, Rajinder ka Dhaba, the barber, bell-bottoms, wide collars, Binaca Geet Mala, board exams simple joys --
and the small rituals that quietly shaped a generation.
These are not stories written for drama.
They are lived moments -- told in the language we remember them in... Hinglish.
Some readers may relate.
Some may smile.
Some may quietly say,
"haan yaar... bilkul aisa hi tha."
And if a younger reader picks up this book,
perhaps it offers a gentle glimpse into a world that once moved without Wi-Fi, mobile phones, or constant urgency.
This book is best read slowly --
? Read with a smile, not judgement.
?And maybe... with a cup of chai
? If you like, you may play "Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye" in the background.
