Nostalgia - A Treasured Possession

By Kashish Kochar

“Doraemon!!!” called out Nobita with a trembling voice. Thick drops of salty water streaming through his eyes, in a hope to hear back from his dearest best friend and brother who was lying unconscious in front of him. 

We love watching cartoons, isn’t it?! Or is there some transition that happened few months or years back maybe? A ray of pleasant meal time for everyone, has always been related to this aspired theme of having a beautiful television time with our beloved cartoon characters. 

An emotional bond of never leaving these moving characters is dream for many. I have heard people calling out, “Ohh!!! You still watch such cartoons?!!”

The laugh that they show while narrating this statement can never be forgotten, they find it sarcastic. I never understood this sarcasm, and that’s why never stopped watching these cute bonds over television. 

Humans tend to try things; they wish to apply new changes to their lifestyle in different ways which they find interactive and submissive. Priorities change with passing time, some wish to utilize the cartoon time in an efficient way like joining gym for improving health or they prefer substituting the hours with multiple careers improving activities and proficiencies. 

There are many people who love watching these cartoons too, its joyful to them. We fail to discover on how those nostalgic cartoons got an updated conversion of Instagram reels, YouTube shorts and much more. We have forgotten that happiness of watching Gian beating Nobita for foolish reasons and so on. Funny right?! Wide smile tends to appear discussing that lost image. 

The point is never to argue with whatever has happened so far. It’s related to the identification of deep connection that has changed its roots. I till date feel very emotional on realizing how I used to spend my day hearing stories of “Dholakpur,” and its Saviour. 

Everything is relatable, because the charismatic structure of these never-ending stories has always been a foundation to memorize the strong relationship we had with old times. The main aim of this writing piece is to bring back that lost happiness. 

All problems have solutions, it’s just the behaviour of individuals who make the advanced change a little challenging. Give yourself some time to capture the reality of those fictional friends. We find cute reels where people have travelled to real hometowns of Doraemon and Shin Chan, a chain of memories surround us. We feel nostalgic, watching that dreamy landscape again. 

There are multiple animations to watch but this time while watching these characters kindly observe the changes in our style of feeling their presence again. May that feeling be different but the contentment will be real.
