“Memory is the faculty of the brain by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed.” That something what Google says as definition of memory. But if you ask me I'll say, “A memory is something you collect in your mind and play it from your heart in a futile effort to live it one more time again.” some time you do that intentionally, some times it get triggered by itself.
In this blog, i am gonna share few of my memories that I never wanted to forget but as per seeing my brains working function, I might forget them after few years. So, it's just a one attempt to preserve them in some form….
I shifted from wadala to Chembur 3 years back. I spend my life's 20 years in Wadala. So, offcourse got some strong connections with place and peoples. After shifting in chembur, I got lonely and depressed, as suddenly leaving my friends, our house, the view was shocker. Being lonely and not able to talk with my best friends, not able to find a proper job made me feel like a burden on my parents. That was very depressing phase of my life. I cut ties with all my friends. Bharti, Chile (Ashvini) and Simran are my best friends, we were together since I guess, we were 5 years old or something. I stop contacting them completely. I got depressed to the point, I tried attempt of self-harm (but I didn't even succesied in that 😅). But one day I got a knock on our door. When I opened it, to my surprise, Bharti, Chile and Simran standing in front of me. I didn't had shared my address with them, so they didn't know where I actually live. And we shifted in a slum areas where, even if you had a address, you can't find someone's home in a first attempt. But this idiot girls came finding me. They used every connect they had. They irretated my parents. And they said they were ready to go every extended to come and look me once. I was so happy. I was so happy, cause this girls of mine got strict parents. They won't go anywhere wondering. But they did it for me. They are able to understand only from my voice, what exactly I am feeling. I thought it was only something filmy idiotic concept, but I have experienced that. And it was just amazing knowing someone is there who cares for you without any expectations. I remember, when Bharti hugged me and said, “You don't have to carry all this alone, you can always have us when it gets too heavy…”
I know one day we all get busy in our life, will tack different roads and travel different paths. But I got sure for one thing that day, that no matter what, will find each other again. Couse they had choose me by their on. And it's my heart's dicision that I never wanted to leave them…
