Life is a series of events both good and bad, happy and sad, pleasant and grim. This is the ultimate pattern followed in anyone's life. No one state can be eternal. Happiness can't be forever. Same goes with sorrow, it cannot take shelter in one's life infinitely. It is these events and moments that make memories. When you look back at your life, the treasure trove of memories smile at you, the only possession that you inherit.
When I was a kid, an idea, quaint some might call it, used to knock at the door of my mind. I would wonder why God did not have some kind of a video recorder. With this device's aid, we could have access to our past actions, events and moments. On request, at any point of time in our lives, we could avail the facility of watching ourselves, our behaviour towards others, the beautiful moments spent with our loved ones, the bitter experiences. Well, I was really young, so I never thought of man making any kind of a similar device.
After so many years, I still have the same idea finding its way back to my mind. I wonder, if we could register our whole lives' actions in one CD, DVD, or whichever medium, so as to keep them alive. I am certain that there cannot be a recorded version of each and every moment passed, however, people have found out ways to keep afresh their memories through Diaries, Photos, a few videos.
Whatever medium you bring to your use, it is bound to make you happy if after a long time you stumble upon your memories. A smile would not leave your face until you want to stop thinking about it. How I still wish to ask for this service from God, so that I could rewind and relive the moments.

I open my eyes to a world full of mirth.
Laughter and merriment make their way through.
Get ensconced in that little corner of my heart,
Snug and comfortable.
I close my eyes and 
How I wish they stay forever!

Melancholy and despair
Come next to my heart,
Without even knocking,
They drift their foes apart.
Oh, how quickly they have
Settled down for what seems to be eternity.

Could I not entertain them
And show them their way
I know they are not yet
Ready to call it a day.
My heart is eager more than ever
to have its guests who could stay forever.

Melancholy, despair, mirth and merriment,
All know their ways in and out
If one stays the other has to leave
Though my heart would never believe
How it juggles while
                                                               Emotions varied.

And when you thought
you had set all things right
a whiff of air
from nowhere
took on you and
subverted your might.

Don't be afraid
of these twists and turns
for they are the ones
that make you churn
deep within and
elicit strength.

Right ahead
is the coveted way
Take it or leave
but make a choice
for this decides
what in the future lay


 The last time, in a very long time,  I was filled with awe,  was when I witnessed pure joy. The innocent cry  of a four years old  calling ...
