I really missed punching away at my computer keys yesterday, had a really tough day, which lasted way beyond 3.30 am in the morning, and by the time I finally went to sleep, I was too tired to get any.
Today was HOLI, a festival, or rather a day, we were so enthusiastic in celebrating, way back in the days, when we were small, with hardly any care or worry to hinder us in the serious and single-minded pursuit of just a good time, and it was amazing, how we succeeded, most of the time. We, as humans, have this habit of indulging in nostalgia, and it's strange, how the only memories that survive of our childhood, are the good ones, of the great boisterous times we had, interspersed by memories of a sad kind, but in such a way that they hardly spoil the picture for us. Bryan Adams singing,"summer of 69" is a favourite among many people, many of whom are not even serious followers of English music, as a genre, and the reason is again 'nostalgia', for even those who were in the storks' store-house, during the period, to be released into this world, at a much later date, the song evokes a sense of longing, for the days past by, and we all end up happy, wallowing in the memories of our individual-happy-days, and we all have our share of those. The future may bring what we crave, but all that is cloaked in a mass of uncertainty and this is why we would rather go back, misty-eyed, to the past and the sense of security that it affords us, every trip down memory-lane, also serving to give us the courage to look forward to the future, to brace ourselves for whatever is to come, the belief that good times are there for us, at the back of our minds, a safety net that allows us to walk forward, secure in the knowledge that, we can fall back, at any time, not get hurt, rejuvenate ourselves, and carry on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
