Nostalgia is a tricky thing. One minute you are minding your business, the next minute, a picture has transported you back to 10 years ago.

Most of the things on this list no longer exist. So, If you find this list relatable, congratulations, you are old.

1) Mtn midnight call.

The glorious days of endless midnight rubbish is over. Insomniacs now have one less reason to not sleep.

2) Look up words in a physical dictionary.

KPI used to be 10 new words a day. It was compulsory for every Jss 1 student that year.

3) Go to the cybercafe.

Thank goodness for affordable internet.

4) Buy 6 in 1 Cd’s.

Season 1 – 20 that was really just one season.

5) Share BBM pins.

The glory days.

6) Use Starcomms/Multi-links.

Damn.

7) Use this bell.

An empty room, an empty house, a hole inside my heart.

8) Surf the internet with 10 megabytes.

I can’t believe 10mb used to expire on me. Mtn is shaking right now.

9) Guard the duster.

The chalkboard days are over.
