Forgot To Remember

 “If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered”. A famous quote by American Author Edgar Allan Poe. 


I love how small and beautiful this quote is. Upon reading it and thinking about it again, how many of you or how many of us can relate this to our lives. We usually note out important dates or things to complete in a day in a paper or somewhere we see around. That is quite usual. How many of you have the habit of looking for the piece of paper on which you wrote the points to remember. To be frank, I have that habit. It takes me a few minutes to hunt around the house for something I just forgot. 



Passwords are the biggest trouble for our cute little brains to remember. We are just like  giving instructions to the brain every time and just saying ‘ Remember this password for the next login’. And whether these websites or other platforms allow us to put small and easy passwords. They just say this is so simple and easy to be hacked. So make the passwords more complicated with symbols, numbers and all. Who is gonna remember this. The most trouble is when the system is like “ Why are you wasting your time and energy finding the passwords? I will give you a cool password “. Ayoooooo that is the real password. You will take the entire life to remember it. 


On the other hand, we even remember the dialogues and scenes of a movie that we have watched almost 5 years ago or more than that. We never note it down anywhere. We still remember that. But we can’t remember the password that we set one week before. Have you ever thought about why this happens? Anyway I don’t want to go behind all the theoretical facts behind this.


That is it. The things we wish to remember are the things we forget first. But the things we actually don't need will be remembered by us even after years. As humans at least once in our lifetime we must have gone through a situation that we wish have forgotten easily. But the fact is that it takes time. It is not easy to forget those times. The dialogues we all say goes like this “ I can’t forget the words he or she had told me. I feel like crying all the time. I can’t forget all that stuff”. Are you a person that has this problem? Then you must check this out. I have a small idea that actually I guess will work out even though I haven't tried yet. 


Next time when you want to forget a sad situation tell your brain that this is an important moment for me so keep me updated with this every time. Our cute little  brain will forget that thing at the spot itself.  So no complaints, even that is what we needed right.  


Keep smiling and try this hack out. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a cool, happy and enjoyable day. All the best keep  moving 🙂

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
