Memories

Memories exist outside of time. This is a monologue of the protagonist from the series Euphoria. Her name is Rue and her father died of cancer when she was little. Her dad told her "Whenever you want to see me just close her eyes and we'll be together". This scene made me curious to read about memories and write a blog post about the same. I was also wondering for the past week to the question, can we miss someone even if we are sitting right next to that person? And I think I know the answer now.

--------------------------

Memories; they are quite like a sister of imagination. I want to relate this to my previous blog - The Universe in our heads. As I wrote, our mind has no limit just like the universe where we exist. Our thoughts are born in our minds just like the galaxies, solar systems (or human beings) in this universe. Some humans like our family, friends, and people we love are like the dreams and memories in our minds who remain there longer than other thoughts and emotions in our heads just like the closer planets which revolves around the Sun; us. And we keep giving them space throughout our lives in a way just like a whole new galaxy acquires a place in the universe. Other people are like comets and shooting stars, who pass by our orbits making contact just for a little duration like accidental meetings and interactions.

Memories can quite fascinate our minds and make us believe in things which might not look practical sometimes. One such example would be that we can miss a person even if we are sitting close to them because of the memory we hold of that person of what they once used to be.

All our lives as human beings on this planet goes into making memories of our experiences which we had in our entire lifespan and it's the memories for us humans that holds us together as an individual by giving us the gift of holding onto the things we had and make us believe that we are not mechanical. And most importantly the bitter and sweet together makes the experience rich. We cannot expect a single sun or a single galaxy to hold the weight of the universe, there has to be multiple suns and galaxies all around the universe to build and destroy their existence so as to make the universe or existence of life possible.

My Journey to the Treasure

  In this blog, I am going to share my experience of the journey I had in finding myself and how I went through madness to find me. As I grew up, the meaning of life for me started unfolding, the finding begins when I entered my teenage years, I can remember that I use to admire people who have that charismatic personality. And I always wanted to become someone who is loud and expressive. In short, I wanted myself to become someone that I know I’m not. There were times when I was so upset about my life due to this reason only that I was stuck at an Idea of success that was not aligning with me. Due to this, I felt lost, disconnected, and hopeless about myself. I couldn't even tell anyone around me how I was feeling because there was something else that I was holding. I thought people will judge me and all these self-doubts were drowning me in a void. When I look back at the pages which are holding my past self in my diaries, It feels like - wow I have changed a lot in these past fe

My First visit to Tis Hazari District Court

Visiting the court for the first time Due to our busy schedules, my friend and I were going to try to make it to the court, but we never had time. We had the opportunity to visit the court today because our classes were canceled. Since it was the most suitable option, we took the metro from our college. After reaching the place but before evening entering the first frisk checkpoint, we encountered a Tout (kind of a broker for advocates) who said "Kahan jana hai?" (Where do you want to go?). I didn't know who he was but my friend told me, there are a lot of people like him who will ask the same question. At the second checkpoint also, there was another man asking the same. We entered the premises after a quick frisk check, and it was busy inside. We simply roamed the area for a while. The court proceedings were happening in small rooms adjoining to the chambers of those Judges who were presiding over the cases. My friend then asked for permission from the court martial to

Universe in our head

 The Universe in our head Often when we start to think about the origin of everything, the origin of the universe, it just makes us feel empty and clueless because questions like these are still missing their answers in modern science. Various theories of the past and people's beliefs have different stories of the creation of the universe. When we study space we end up at "where does the universe end?" Like planets make a solar system, solar systems create a galaxy, and a group of galaxies is called the universe. What is thereafter the universe and what is its length, depth, and volume? Is it infinite or is there something bigger after the universe ends? I would like you to imagine the vastness of your mind. What do you see when you look inside your thinking tank? do you see a finite space or is it enormous enough that feels like a universe? Where does a thought go when we don't believe it? Where does a thought come from? Do we create our thoughts or do we experience
