Relive-The Memories Beautiful

 

Relive-The Memories Beautiful

 

“When we think of the past it’s the beautiful things we pick out.

We want to believe it was all like that.”

– Margaret Atwood

 

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment,

until it becomes a memory.” – Dr. Seuss.

  

We reached the venue of ring ceremony function of our niece’s daughter much before the hosts and guests honourable: hall was vacant even waiters and supervisors were missing; we switched on the lights, fans  and ACs too: special grayish couch for the Bride and Groom had been well decorated with flowers and Indian Deo, was too soft one. The couch fascinated me. I just jumped on it and asked “My Bride” to join: hesitantly she followed with mischievous smile: recollecting our days of marriage when things were not that open we were never photographed like that sitting together before marriage. It kindled in me the desire to have such a “Bride Groom” photo at least now. My “Bride” was too reluctant; did not agree, I was handicapped, many were witnesses to this drama of husband and wife, the oldies: ultimately I had to use my manly rights and forced her to sit with me like a “Bride” not like a lady 75+: professional shots could not be taken as photo man had not come by that time. Finally I got clicked on a mobile, the above is one of those photos. It gave me lot of joy, I was with my “Bride”, the joy had erased the wait of 50+ years for this photo session. Slowly guests trickled one by one, certified late comers too followed and the “Punjabi Dhol” sprinkled its own charm and we were the first to enjoy oven to mouth starters and snacks.

 

Relive the memories: better the sweet ones, forget others like bad dreams: they are the treasure of diamonds and pearls; they are the source of joy and relieve you of stress and tensions, create positivity sometime nostalgia which all of us long for, a barrier to negativity,: cost nothing only a mind that wants to enjoy and visualize; relish them and relive, if possible, physically. Whenever one is in stress, open this mine of pleasure: take some time out; if possible with the person whom you love most, that who understands you well, for whom you matter, if not possible to do so, go to the lap of nature a beautiful garden where nature blossoms and if even     that is not possible go to “Him” in a secluded corner of your sweet home or a place of worship and talk to “Him” tell “Him” your cherished memories “He” will listen patiently, will  help you to create more, believe “Him” he has the magic wand. Reliving the sweet memories and to recreate them is a great tonic a mental exercise for mental health a great contributor to your physical health too it helps you to remember.

 

Stress is just memories away. It may not be as easy to do, as it is easy to say    but an attempt is worth its weight in Gold. Reliving something on the spur of the moment is beautiful; but if you are doing it intentionally remembers the moments when you connected with “Him” or when he showered his blessing on you that would enhance your confidence and satisfaction in life and living.

 

“Memories are not created from things you said you would do. They are built from things you have done.” – Anonymous

Tolerance a Character Gem

                                            Tolerance a Character Gem   Without tolerance, our world turns into hell. Friedrich Durrenmatt   Men are respectable only as they respect.
