Thank you Damandep. Memories can be picture perfect as your experience shows. Each picture is a snapshot of our fleeting life. Capture them as much as you can for reminiscing later.
As I approach , what would have been my anniversary this coming month, I embrace going down memory lane with gorgeous memories despite a horrific hurricane that altered our wedding day. We traveled in a caravan three hours to high ground so we could marry despite the flooding. I will always remember the spirit of those ,who with great determination to join us ,celebrated our joy despite their anxiety and fears of their unknown loss. The stories that followed will be a lasting memory as everyone had a story of the day. It was beautiful and understated, the way we both would have preferred.
I am sorry if it's a repetition but I recall the lyrics of "season in the sun" where it talks of the good old days as the days that would never end. Or "Rignstone cowboy" where it talks of the past days with nostalgic feelings. Come to think of it most songs do talk of great things that happened in the past.
I was watching the movie Inside Out yesterday with my daughter. It’s a movie about preserving memories and how they get destroyed over a period of time if you “stop” walking down memory lane or forget to reminisce etc.
This post resonated so well with me coz umpteen times every summer or winter break when we go on vacation and I end up clicking pics for memories sake, friends and family cry and call me crazy. And those are the ones that were looking back at a picture of 10 years back and getting nostalgic!
It’s amazing how we can now capture every single moment however forget to etch that in our memories rather than in our phones which may just be digital memory forever! Here is a reminder to me to print more pictures so I can walk down the memory lane when I open that photo album!
Thanks for always giving food for thought and making us better human beings with your filter coffee!!!

For those interested in music the Carpenters’ “Yesterday once more” is a lovely song.
Good thought Amar.
When it comes to memories, I try to -
Chersh the good ones
Mute the bad ones
Learn from the mistakes
Having said that, old people talk mostly of the past and young people mostly of the future. So to stay young is to create new positive memories!!
Well said TK. To the point as always!
