In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, it’s easy to forget the simple joys of the past - when a "drive" meant a leisurely Sunday outing, a "memory" was stored in photo albums, and a "camera" required patience and film. Nostalgic Bites: Growing Up in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s by Prof. Dr. Deepti Gupta and Cdr. Dr. Avikshit is a heartfelt tribute to those golden decades, offering readers a chance to relive—or discover—the charm of a slower, more meaningful way of life.
A Bridge Between Generations
As Doug Larson beautifully said, “Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days.” This book does exactly that - smoothing out the past’s imperfections while preserving its warmth and authenticity.
For those who lived through the 60s, 70s, and 80s, this collection is a treasure trove of memories. For younger readers, it’s a window into an era where life wasn’t dictated by screens, where friendships were nurtured face-to-face, and where small pleasures—like waiting for a favorite song on the radio or flipping through vinyl records—held immense joy.
