Declutter - Memory

I think I’m most afraid when I can’t figure out, what I supposed to do next. Maybe you all know this feeling of stuck in between. When you’re completely ready to go and kick another task to the curb, in between you’ll miss little fragments that life offers.

I’m talking about the times, when you have that immediate high that you can accomplish anything on the go, putting a bright wide smile of pride on your face? Heck yeah!

Maybe not.

I’ve realized this feeling for quite sometime, all in the span of morning. Sometimes it goes until I sleep, which keeps me alive.

Memory, It can play trick on us. It fail us when we’re down and out. It can save us when the pressure is on. The people who are able to use their brains effectively can do such wonderful things in the world. And then there are those who avoid using their brains completely and settle into an instant-filled life. I lie on second one, even forgetting my personal little things. My memory can store silly things to huge problems which of no use ( Come on, who needs problems). Forgetting to eat is a hallmark. I miss so damn many meals from the thoughts ' I’ll get this next paragraph done, I’ll get some more sleep and I’ll be lost around some blank space simply doing nothing. And look at the clock, it’s already past 10. Great, I guess I’ll skip food. Then off to do some household chores, reading an unfinished book or simply watching TV (Hey, I’m a human, I need some jokahol (own junk) to live).

Then there are these times, the worry of self- worth floods into me. I think my greatest fear is disappointment. I believe that I’m not a disappointment to anyone. But my brain doesn’t catch up with that. Maybe you know that feeling, that one telling you that you should be doing something, to progress and you lost in that thought, fearing of stagnant mind and character. Huh?

Maybe not.

It’s not easy to remember a lot of stuff from your past. Maybe you don’t want to! Here are some prompts to dive into your memory.

What is your earliest childhood experience or memory?

You have suddenly been given an enhanced brain power that you can remember everything that ‘s ever happened to you nearly at the same time. What do you remember that causes you to change how you behave currently?

If you could change one memory for the better, what would it be and why?

Trace the origins of one of your habits. Figure out when you started doing something that you now do all the time.

Remember back to an extremely happy time in your life.
If you could switch brains with any one person who would it be?

Memory is a great power. We can go through pros and cons of forgetting something in our daily life. Remember whatever you go through, you’re not alone. You’re loved and there is not a single ounce of shame you should feel for seeking a helping hand or perhaps a mind.

Chapter Nine - Neighbour

Ahana: What? Govrav ? Hardhikk: Treat! Govrav’s eyes drop from her and onto her brother, and his face breaks out into the broadest, most genuine smile she have ever seen him wear. Govrav: Wow, nice outfit, dude! Hardhikk: Thanks. Govrav: Do you like chocolates? Hardhikk: Yes! Yes! Govrav:   Well, good news, I have plenty of it. He then tips the entire bowl of chocolates into Hardhikk’s bag. It wasn’t full to begin with, but it’s a hefty amount of candy. Hardhikk: Wow! You’re the coolest! Ahana:   This is so weird to watch. I’ve never seen Govrav be so nice to someone, let alone give anyone a genuine smile. He actually looks.. kind of cute when he smiles like that. Why can’t he be like this all the time? Hey, so… You’re awfully nice. Neighbor. Govrav: What are you talking about? I’m always nice. Ahana: She rolls her eyes, but he put Hardhikk in such good spirits that she don’t fight him on it. Govrav:   What’s your name, kid? Hardhikk: It’s Har...

Paradise Unpaved!

Imagine how hard it is to break up the asphalt with a small pickaxe. It is not even a good one as it has seen so many asphalts and tortured itself to make the way better. Now imagine you’ve been doing it for several days. The sun gets hotter day by day. There is a heaviness on the body, aches you to rest for a while, makes you sweat like a boiling pot, itchy like a bug landing on you.   The dust makes you feel more and more uncomfortable. Sometimes tiny sprinkles of water that wheeling down the black dust on your face. Irretrievable. The job is so unpleasant to imagine. This has been Madhav’s existence for almost a year. Madhav, his pickaxe and the pavement. I have seen him worried that his arms won’t know how to do anything else by the time he gets to stop. Will they remember to buy him colouring notebooks just to see his golden smile. But he never forgets to wear his bright smile in front of his child. Sometimes, he gets to use a shovel to heave the concrete into the circulatin...

Am I a Hindu?

  I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to document my own transition away from faith. What follows is what happened for me. Basically, my family is flexible when it comes to the religious part. My father and I used to be way too friendly. My grandfather was very devoted to Lord Shiva. Luckily for me, my father always stand back to hold. He doesn’t feel any sort of prompt or proxy is needed to be deeply religious. He always prays to one God, Lord Krishna (Guruvayoorappan).                   Children are more vulnerable and emulate those they respect. I still do. My father was a Brahmin, so I became one as well. Realising what I mean by that; I happy being a Brahmin but I didn’t decide to become a Brahmin; it just happened. As a child, if someone you love and respect tells you something is true or illustrates that they believe it be true – it become absolute. There will be no choice in these matters for a human until much later ...
