Remembrance

The capacity and extent, the power and depth of human mind is miraculous and impressive. It is a huge storehouse of events, occurrences, emotions and information which get indexed appropriately at the time of action. Each happening has a place to belong to in the mansion of human mind. The moment you start digging the layers of memories, series and sequences open up-- to be remembered, to be relived.

Past in fact is no where yet the sheer fact that the impressions get imprinted on the canvas of mind and protected with something like a chemical wash for longer life makes it possible to relive and rejoice in the moments which have already passed.
Time gets embedded in the womb of existence nurturing on memories-- living and thriving to be retrieved later to create a virtual world . Just a trip down the memory lane and everything lights up!

Yes, there is nothing we can do about the past in terms of being able to change it or experiment more with life which has already been lived till this point. Yet its role in shaping us up as the person as we stand at this point cannot be denied. Time keeps running, its speed does not make any difference to the fact that every passing second, even the smallest fraction thereof is converting present into a bygone second. Yes, it slips away from the hands like smooth sand but in the process creates castles and structures building up the life that we have lived so far. This city of personal past exits within us with numerous residents in shape of various memories. Pick up your date for the day and relive it. It makes you feel fresh and young even if tainted with regrets at times…

"Zindagi laut kar wapas kabhi aayi nahi,
Hai ajab baat ki ek yaad murjhayi nahi”

Human Brain is an extremely large database and the data collected in our brain enable us to think in various modes. I demanded myself to list down the data which can be stored in our brain. Subsequently I concluded – brain can store every data; irrespective of the format type or the file size.

Brain surely can store the entire valuable and not-so-wanted stuff; but the processing speed compared to a computer is much slower. Take an instance where I cannot do a “Find (Ctrl + F) function“ in my brain data. That doesn’t make human brain inefficient. We should be proud of Chacha Chaudhary!!! jinka dimaag computer se bhi tez chalta hai ;) now if u ask me to recall all the stories of chacha chaudhary, it would be a tough job for my brain.

But for sure; one thing which works for me is – To keep my Dimaag Khaali from all the tensions and keep it light and cool, nahi to Dimaag ki batti bujh jayegi
