Public memory is conserved and transmitted through history. It is significant for the psyche of the nation. How about the individual memory? I always think about it. It is subjective though. Human life constitutes a variety of experiences; and it is from those experiences we learn and live life. It does not always constitute rosy episodes; it is a collusion of colorful experiences and costly liabilities. We often do not like thinking about the bitter memories of the past – whether it is a traumatic childhood or a bad break off of relationship. The sensibility, however, lies turning these liabilities into invaluable assets. For me, cherishing the past memories have had two functions – recollecting the happy moments in life; and evaluating the past which sometimes give inspirations to move on. It also tells me about the stages of evolution in the structure of my relationship. Bedtime recollection abstains them holding dust; and if nothing, gives me some good sleep.

Well said, Bapi. I remember coming across a nice quote by Alexander Smith: “A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.”
Arun Bhai, Thanks for your addition
