Nostalgia can be said as a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time: a nostalgia for his college days.(dictionary .com)
Even today sometimes it comes in my mind about the different things which i used to enjoy when i was a child. for example even today when i turn on the TV i look for the cartoon network channel and see whats going on in it. my best cartoon was tom and jerry and i still love to watch it if its coming on the tele. apart from this i used to love eating fast foods very much. after every day or two i used to hve a Mc Donalds burger in my hand (which now can be seen in my weight). Whenever i used to go out with my family Mc Donalds was one common place where we used to stop every time.
Apart from this i was and still very very fond of cars. i used to have a toy car always in my hand and i always used to rub its tyres on the carpet or on the floor and also making the engine sounds from my mouth. when ever i used to buy a toy car i used to see that whether its doors are opening or not. Today when i think about it i always have a big laugh at it. My other part of entertainment was playing video games of robocop and many more. still i love to play those games eventough its been a long time.
According to solomon(2010) nostalgia means a bitter sweet emotion where we view the past with both sadness and longing.
