Memory matters
The Hindu
Forgetfulness only makes most of our lives interesting; otherwise, we will get stuck in a time warp
Though I am now a septuagenarian, I have to a great extent trained myself to use smartphones and Facebook. Many times, Facebook reminds me of what I have posted on the same date the previous year or before. I look at it with awe because it reminds me of what I was doing on the corresponding day of the previous year or before, though certain things I vaguely remember and some I don’t. Anyway, I never repost them on my wall, because I have a lot of confidence in my friends’ memory who regularly read my posts and it is unfair to feed them the same fodder again. A decade ago, I used to have a dateless diary in which I noted down the important events or things I needed to recall. Later, it had been shrunk to a line in a big calendar or small desktop calendars which I preserve. Now FB and smartphones do the job for me and stir my thoughts of the past. It is commendable.More Related News
