What makes you feel nostalgic?
Today being new year’s eve, it takes me back to the time when Bollywood award functions used to be the most awaited show for us as kids. One, because back then, as kids, going out and celebrating new year was uncommon, two – small towns don’t celebrate new year and three – these shows were telecasted on new year’s eve and exactly at 12 everyone on the TV and off the TV would shout HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
It was the most simple and celebrated time for us as family. No house parties, no fancy restaurant bookings, no loud music, no expensive getaways(it’s all good, no doubt). Just Mom, my brother and i sitting in front of the TV curled under blankets, predicting awards, laughing at the lame jokes while my dad constantly asking all of us to go to bed and he eventually falling asleep.
So, yeah everytime I watch these award shows it instantly puts a smile of my face and nostalgia hits.
