Nostalgia - a way to communicating
Nostalgia, About the same times spent the period and the stories shared and the songs heard, When shared among those by those who share a past, of a family, culture, country. it binds them transports them into a shared zone in a shared place of comfort, enjoyment, sharing grief, laughter, tears! An Indian, an Afghani, and a Pakistani, travelling together in a van, one is the hostage, the other is the terrorist, and the last one is the driver, a mercenary, all enemies in a hostile situation, are listening to a Bollywood song playing on the radio in the van, suddenly all start singing along, forgetting their enmity, fear or hatred for one another! (A scene from a Bollywood movie, I had watched a few years ago). Lets get nostalgic! (Heard about the role of shared nostalgic moments in team building on Radio National Counter Point today)
