There is another song "Bachpan ke din bhi kya din they, --" sung by Lata or Asha which also takes you back to your childhood.

Oh... you are showering one melody after another of yesteryear which take me to live those precious moments of my childhood.

Ok one more "Bachpan ki mohabbat ko bhula na dena---" takes you to first crushes.

I would want my parents and the guardians to descend on this earth so that I can get back the most loveable days of my life.

A family reunion.Of course wishing to stay with  family members is the dream of all.

I wouldn't want to lose the experience that life has brought me so far, I wouldn't want to miss my soulmate trying to live life once again. I look forward not backward, I dream about the future not the past that is lost. I revel in the present enjoying everyday as it comes. I live my life each day. 

Thinking over the past is akin to crying over the Split Milk.

^{“Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely”. So goes the saying.}

Same here, I would never want to go back simply because things have changed so much,, I too have changed as a person. I ha this very strange experience a few years ago when I reconnected with some of my school friends on Face Book and we decided to meet and I realised that other than a few things that we all remembered there was not much common interest...We are in touch no doubt but not like it was during school days when we would be together and share everything. People change with time and there is no point in looking back..

That is so true Usha, We change and move ahead for the better. Why turn back. I am glad you brought up the example of school friends. My experience was similar.. I couldn't relate to most of the conversations happening there, most of them were so caught up in their own achievements of those of their children.. I was lost in that crowd. 

My life is simple and I am happy.. that is what matters to me at the end of the day.

Absolutely ! over a period of time in certain ways we become set in our choices , more so after you have your own family and your whole life revolves around them !

Not just that, our thinking evolves and broadens over time .. but some people seem to be stuck to the same well. Its so difficult to relate to them. 

All of us have different views in this regard. I for one always prefer to go back and peep and savor those moments of my past, which I'm missing today.

Its great that we have different ideas.. other wise this discussion would be a boring I agree with you session. Memories are made of the good times of yesteryears .. We can always use it to take peeks into the past with that great tool we have at our disposal 24/7.  

That's the motto of these discussion forums. By posting different views of different members spices up discussions. If everybody says " YES... YES " discussions become monotonous.

Its not a discussion any more just a vote of confidence.

I so agree with you ...It is a pain relating and communicating with such people.It is always their ideas that are the best and their way of dong things that is the right way of doing etc etc..

If people stick to their opinions, let it be so.one cannot forcibly convince who is saddled firmly with his own point of view.

In real life nobody wants to go back to the dead past but always aims towards an infinite future, though it is indefinite. Past and future are not accessible to us except through our thoughts and imaginations. @Neha, thank you for starting this thread in a fictitious tone,  which revived some nostalgic memories of the past, especially the memorable childhood filled with their innocence and beauty………..though I know the question itself is a fantasy, so my answers too.

Any how the post made you to go back down your memory lane. For you there ends the matter. But for some one, they actually go back to the past because the thread poster provided an opportunity.

Very right sir, question itself is a fantasy, it was just to reminisce some pleasant moments from past. No matter how much we are satisfied with our present, there is a time when we love to be nostalgic.
