Remember the time when ‘Eat, Sleep, Play, Study and Repeat’ was the only motto of life. When finishing our homework and deciding what games to play next were the only ‘problems’ that ever existed in life. Ahh, the freedom of childhood!
We sure cannot go back in time and revisit those golden days (wish we could though) but we can definitely take a trip down memory lane with a fun game.
So, how well are those childhood memories inked in the scrapbook of your mind? Take this BYJU’S Nostalgia Challenge to find out!

I used to play a lot with toys in childhood. After every exam, and on my birthday, my parents bought me a toy,
like G.I. Joe and He Man action figures. I am lucky to still have them and now they are valuables as vintage action figures. I Still have almost all of my childhood toys well preserved since 28 years. its quite a nostalgic ride when I look at them. That’s very fond memory of mine and now watching my son playing with them feels like the loop of generation completes.
Also I used to watch cartoon shows a lot. I am still 90’s Kid by heart and sometime i love to deep dive into those memories by watching the same tv shows again and recall the Era of great 90’s Days. I Still watch “Shaktimaan ” and love it like I used to love two decades ago. It May sound creepy , but I get those small Attacks of Nostalgia .. But I am fully aware of reality and Present.
Its a good mental refreshment to look back in past and use those good memories to feel good, I Believe.
so this is my thought on “how nostalgia heals me” .
Thanks

Thank you for this amazing piece of writing. It did bring back a lot of beautiful memories, including both the funny and the embarrassing ones. These were my favorite ones: No school day, power off fun on, future rockstar in the house (embarrassing), nervousness*100, to escape the hawk-eyed, keeping it casual on birthdays.

Awww..! This just took me back to my schooling. I can truly relate to everything. Waiting for the birthday to flash through was the best experience I would ever forget. I still have my slam books and those memories are epic feelings even today. Every Monday would be a stomach pain or a headache day for me. lol! Anyways thank you so much for this fun quiz and for this nostalgic moment. Just wishing to get back to those golden days. #lifeatbyjus

To start with a big thank you for taking a flashback of all these little long lost happy moments of life?. All these made up my childhood and I miss them though in this busy to-do lists of life. However my most memorable moment was when I heard some loud; creepy and eager voice calling out my name at my house gate exactly at 5pm. My mom going out to ask for who it was and me running behind her already knowing it’s my colony friends Calling out for a shake and shampoo and catch me if you can game. The glimpse of smile to being energetic even with the last hour of day expecting something new for the next day. I wish everyone has something childish in them that gives a reason for them to take a break and feel the innocent part of life.❤️

Dreaming in our world
when teacher says that this is the worst class ever seen
Yours is the only class who is shouting in the whole school
When skirt length is above knees- This is your school not a fashion show
