This picture is taken recently by me when I had been to the city where I used to live during my childhood. This picture is the quarter where we used to live along with other three families in a colony. I lived there for about 15 years and left this place before some 30 + years back.
I was full of nostalgia for while and lost in the sweet memories what I used to have there during my stay there.
Those were the golden days where we all used to play out door games immediately returning after the school, no private tuition , studying all alone and getting good marks in Class.
I recall how happy my family and neighbors they were when I passed out Matriculation and Twelfth Standard exam in First Class!
Having spent so much time there there are many stories to tell which would take a form of a book if start writing....
Now there are hardly anyone staying there whom I know as most of the persons during my time got retired and left the place.
have you ever been to the place when you were a child? How was your experience? Could you meet anyone known to you there?

You are lucky if you can return to this place
I cannot, as a war destroyed my city. Now it is an absolutely different place full of strangers.

@AKRao24 Thanks
You know, people can change, but memories do not... so maybe seeking the past is what you do not need, not to feel disappointment
Concentrate on your memories, photos, old messages or items from the past
This is my opinion

This is indeed very nostalgic. I would feel the same if I see the place I grew up with.

I live in India and I can relate with your nostalgic experience. My father was a tea estate officer and our family used to stay in a bungalow. My relatives still live in the tea estate. I visited them two years ago. My childhood memories flooded back.

Wow ! Tea estate? That is a beautiful place to live at! Though it is a lonely place and away from Township but the beauty of the nature there is something very rare to find elsewhere! Nice that you went there a couple of years back and had a nice time there dear friend @Franxav !

Yes, I can understand that staying for so many years there we all must be have had mixed memories ...but remembering them now gives us a very different emotion and makes us nostalgic dear friend @Kandae ! Hope you will get an opportunity soon to go back there to enjoy there for a while! Good Luck!

I fact this is the Quarter provided by the Government as my father was an officer in Government Department then. This is a block for four families and we used to stay on first floor right side our neighbor were Malayali Muslims with whom we used to live like a single family.
Now since old people got retired and new people have joined the services these quarters are alloted to them! Thanks dear @hereandthere !
