SONG: HOPE

    WHO IS OLDER? 

THE LIFE OR ITS   MEMORY? 

Almost all of us, atleast at one point of time, must have tried this once.... if not, try it.

Bring out  the first and earliest bits of memory you could  manage to retrieve.

how old are you in your first memory ? when did you start making  memory which can be recollected  again?

 ok.. if you put some work to your brain.. you may start digging flashes of incidents that have happened in the past

you can recover the incidents and moments that have certain amount of pleasure ,pain or a sensation attached to it .But the timeline of events is lost .I mean its haphazard.

If you let yourself in the  hunt  for the pieces of life's first memories. you will  be thrilled for a moment because the years of memory less life lost  ,does not belong to  you. we all know the scientific reasons behind it and the time for the human intellectual centers to achieve the enough amount of maturity.

If we  dwell on this very thought and think about a fictional side of this ,its even more interesting .... lets try this, be with me .

          how does it feel to die? did you ever think of the feeling that remains , when we die? lets say there is no God .. no heaven or hell....  you died  - how does it feel like? its just like a switch which is turned off .#LIGHTS OFF# blank beep line ... no memory , no thought ,, no desire or pain or pleasure  YOU CANNOT EVEN FEEL THE "NOTHING". Can you relate this to anything we know. Yes definitely the first few years of memoryless life ,we lived on has  exactly the same the feeling of emptiness after death  . And what if ,this is all a continuation , a cycle of journey.  I 've a small theory. This entirely works upon the fact of believing what we see is only the reality. lets say, the period of life with memory is the REAL OR THE ABSOLUTE LIFE


The memory-less life after birth and the time after we die is all VIRTUAL.And  may be ,the virtuality loops back into a birth and  continues with some portion of the virtual memory-less life  which opens into an absolute life of a different variety .(like a re-birth ) and now it implies that, this cylce of life is all linked up.


And these cycles kept on going and this might be a 130 re- birth cyle for you and  you might have been the DA- VINCI   in  your 121 life and ABE LINCOLN  in your 127 life .Insane and funny but still possible.

I am raised christian and I believe in GOD . But these thoughts arise occasionally and even more frequent to an idle mind. I am not here to convey a religious belief or an atheistic value . I want to project  the volatility   and the multi colored nature of memory .


Certain memories are good to keep and cherish. some cause pain and melancholy. some just fade off and some just linger and hard to get off. They define us and our relation with others. All off them  put together make a person . We are judged because of them and we are loved for them. Every sane human being with a clear insight, knowingly or unknowingly  strives or does everything  in his life to create a good pleasant memory.

But this also has a flipside ."  memories, that we aren't certainly  not proud of or  a bitterness attached to them ." We want them to go away , we want to lose them fast. This is all different , when you dont have a memory at all.

But eventually its the individual decision that counts
Some may say ,MEMORIES DONT LAST and  people forget when you're dead.

And  the other set believes that  MEMORIES  LAST LONGER THAN LIFE.

we choose the version that we are  comfortable with.but
THE TRUE NATURE OF IT STAYS AS IT IS.


The bottom line remains this- memories (good or bad ) means past. We all need the past,learn from it and enjoy it but ,It should neither  decide our future nor destroy it
