Memories

OK.. now I was just surfing to get some definitions of it(memory) before I get started with what I want to convey. Some of them are:
1)The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience
2)The act or an instance of remembering; recollection
3)All that a person can remember / Something remembered
4)On computer terms -- a) A unit of a computer that preserves data for retrieval
b) Capacity for storing information

So be it for the humans or the computer, its something to do with the past. That is, some information which is already known or completed.

We always call it memories only when its good. Phrases used “recall the wonderful memories”, “memories to be cherished” . However, memories are not just about the good ones.
It includes all our past....

So the good and bad in it is decided by you!
The bad ones can be called as an experience. A lesson!
We all face tough times in our life, and will want to forget them!
I.e. the memories which we do not want to carry along with us.
How wonderful it would be if we could “shift+delete” them... and get it out of the trash only!

Imagine a human system where, when memory gets out of control or overloaded, we can delete them and refresh it to continue the normal process. Wow!
Sounds great and easy!

So do we need a separate system to get this done... ?
Can't we just do this our self with what we have... either taught or imbibed!

Yes there's a saying – Forgive and Forget!
Its such a simple thing which can easily manage our memory as far this thought is concerned.
To erase our “bad memories”, all we need to go is forgive the person/reason for it and to forget !

Forgetting is not hard at all... it's an excuse we always give...
when we don't call our near and dear ones, when we forget their birthday, when we miss to call back or meet someone waiting for us, when we forget to buy the grocery mommy asked us to
and the list goes on....

Use the same here and I'm sure it would help us a lot!
There's a movie on the same lines, on erasing memory...
wow it seemed to the character undergoing that, in the movie, but when he wanted to prove his love, all he wanted was just the memory of the love he had for her!
Wonderful isn't it!!!
That's the beauty of memory... so just relish and cherish your memories...
For only you can feel it ...

Special people

Yesterday, I met this person at the cafeteria who has inspired me to write this.
Let me describe him first which would give an idea as to why I chose this title!
A man who must be in his 30s, height of a dwarf with some ailments. He wasn't able to stand straight. Weak legs and damaged back. My description could be a little hard, but that's how he was.

My God, the first impression I got on seeing him, what confidence and perseverance he must be having. Working in an IT field, a job which is not just highly paid but also the most wanted. The crowd here is massive and he dint really care about it. Walked in with a pride and helped himself get onto the chair. I was surprised!

You don't even have to interact with achievers to gain motivation, on just seeing such “special people” with special qualities, you can feel there's a lot more in our life to achieve.
The positive energy that they bring in is more. Their simple presence helps us!

Its not that they should be some kind of a statue to give their presence but a motivation in disguise!
We must realize how blessed we are to have everything fine(not just physically) but still we complain on our small failures and rejections.

I had visited this hospital once where people had come to get some certificate from the doctor on their ailment. I can still feel them in my eyes, their difficultly only to commute. Still determined to get their life going!

Now, all this shows how blessed we are. And lets stop complaining on the little things around and learn from the people around us!

Live and let live!

Time flies off!

Its three weeks since I joined the new organization (TCS) and I’m just getting used to things here. I haven’t settled well here though. New environment and people, a different working style!

I still feel as if I’m just out of college and looks like its more than 3 years past that!

Time just flies off!

A new experience always brings in a change and something to learn…

I couldn’t ask for more now, as I have a new start and every new beginning brings in a new challenge and we just gotta get going….

Hope things go well as ever for its just not destiny, we choose our path to get there!
