Some journeys are never planned… they come straight from the heart.

Nostalgia from My Pen is a simple, heartfelt collection of childhood memories from the 60s–70s — a time when life moved slower, friendships were simpler, and happiness lived in small everyday moments.

Written in an easy, conversational Hinglish style, these are not just stories… they are lived moments.

Moments that gently make you pause and smile:

“Yaad hai…?”

Flying kites without worrying about time
Evenings filled with laughter, not screens
Gali–mohalla life, simple homes, full hearts
A short 30–40 minute read, yet it stays with you much longer.
