12 things we miss about the '80s
Readers share their favourite 1980s moments they'd love to revisit from their childhood!
Recently we shared with you this list -- 22 signs you grew up in the 1980s -- and you shared some of your fondest memories from the 1980s.
We start with our reader S Kumar who reminded us of Nazia Hassan.
Though not an Indian, the Pakistani popstar along with her brother Zoheb took India by storm.

Do you happen to have any memorabilia from the times gone by?
They could be movie or train or bus ticket stubs, old currency notes and coins, old advertisements, newspaper clippings of landmark events, posters, postcards, telegrams or inland letters.
Little things that have survived the cruel scythe of time.
Take a picture of them and email them to us (subject line: 'India memories') or post them on ZaraBol here -- #India-Memories
Do also tell us a little about the photographs and your memories associated with them.
The best entries will be published on Rediff.com and in India Abroad.
So hurry!
