What makes you nostalgic?

Nostalgia is a soft, sentimental feeling about a past experience, event or a song.

Why do we get nostalgic while listening to a beautiful old song? Suddenly lots of memories come to our mind and we humans have this great power to go back to those times in a split second of time!! WOW..super amazing!! Music has the power to evoke poignant memories from our past, making us feel sentimental for a time long gone.

Sometimes we get nostalgic when we meet an old friend of ours after so many years.

We have so many memories which, when relived, evoke a state of nostalgia. The five senses are always in the present moment and so when we relive (not daydream) those memories, we are living them in the now with deep sensitivity and feeling in the five senses.

One song which brings back lots of memories for me is "Unarumee gaanam urugumennullam..." from the malayalam  movie Moonnam pakkam.

Would you like to share the songs or events which makes you nostalgic?
