Memories are a part of our life. We try to remember anything and everything possible. In fact we all love to cherish only good & beautiful memories and forget all the bad / unwanted stuff. But does this ever happen?
Memories are nothing but our past. Everything that has happened in our lives from day one till date is a memory. Sometimes past is the hardest thing to remember and some other times, it is the hardest thing to forget. Ironic, isn’t it!!
I have a lot of memories from my childhood or rather I am able to remember most of the things from the time I have been able to do a Ctrl + C & Ctrl + V into the memory :)
Memorize is a word we all have heard ‘n’ number of times from people during our school or college days. We are expected to memorize all possible lessons, formulae, questions and answers, poems (by-heart) bla bla bla!!! We do try our best to do so (a well known example off late is Chatur from 3 Idiots.) We tend to forget the same when we are writing exams or while responding to our lecturers/teachers questions.
Sometimes when we are walking, driving or shopping, we come across some familiar faces, we are sure we know the person but we forget the name. And it is the most embarrassing when the person approaches us and we don’t know how to address him or her!! There are times when we finish speaking and leave and after some hours or days, we remember who the person is. Funny!! Isn’t it? This has happened to me several times. Sometimes I feel I have short term memory issue(Definitely not like Gajini!).
There are times when memories haunt us. We just pray we could forget everything and start over again in life, wish we could do a shift + Delete!! And delete for ever. No – never happens rather we don’t have a choice. God should have given us a boon to forget everything while we sleep and wake up fresh without any memories. Or at least he could have helped us archive the best of the memories and forget the unwanted.
There are many techniques to improvise our memory like the brain mapping, brain games, mind power, tricks etc but to forget the past is the hardest. Nothing can help us, no tricks no games not even counseling. It drives us crazy and makes us insane. The worst irony of life is, when things don’t work out the way we expected, the happiest moments of life turn out to be the worst haunted past. And they haunt till death :(
I don’t really know if I am making any sense from these thoughts. Just some Random thoughts from my random memories!!!
