What remains..

Failure is the stepping stone for success. But success itself is the tonic for success. I feel so. A little success , a little admiration, or little appreciation acts as a powerful trigger. Holds good for everything.. doesnt it? A person desperately trying to loose pounds needs to see himself progress towards the goal. An actor needs some appreciation for him to take up more challenging roles. A student needs to do hear.. "good job!" from his parents for him to continue burning the midnight oil. And a blogger...? Needs more readers and more views posted on his blog.  I am 
extremely thankful to all my readers who have truly been
 one of my main sources of encouragement. Thanks to the new addition Vasanthi! 
Hope we have more interchange of pleasant thoughts in future!

Yet another year passes by. I hate the feeling of growing older! For some strange reason , college days seem to be too long long ago. Although its not so bad :)  As time rolls, we tend to forget our lives scene by scene. What remains are memories. How much importance do we give to them? Do we cherish them? Or do we live life by its day, do what we have to do and move on? Do we have a way of recording memories? Videos, photographs? Memories are in a way reflections of ourselves. 
What gives us most happiness, what/whom we love most etc. I have this wierd habit of looking through my Pictures folder very often. Gives me immense satisfaction, as if I am living those happy moments again. To be candid, I prefer 
hard copies of photographs anyday coz they are more  real! 
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time.. well well cant expect a Utopian world can I?
Memories need not be joyful, infact I strongly feel that sorrowful memories remain in my heart for a longer time than the joyous ones. But every memory is a lesson learnt. I think the best we could do with the not-so-happy-memories is self analysis. Understand and never repeat the same again. Ofcourse this does not apply to those sad memories which weren't under our control. This is what I have been trying to implement. Its amazing 
to find that we encounter similar situations as what we had encountered before. 
 By being aware of our previous errors,we can easily avoid Himalayan blunders, heart burns and unpleasantness uncalled for.
