Yesterday....

The only thing we hold of yesterday is ‘Memories’. Memory is a very heavy word.

These days people have not only mechanized their lives but also their emotions. People have stopped empathizing with others. On the run, they do not have an idea of what they have lost.

The other day I got my hands on an old album, where I saw a snap of my great grandmother. And to mention here,  ‘She is now no more’. The reality of life came so clear to my mind, then. The fact is that I can never see her again whatever may be the hypothesis attached to it. It just got me tremble with repentance.

Life gives us many relations, kith and kin, friends and acquaintances. We tend to bond up with every passenger in the journey of life. As we move on, it’s very human to walk past the relation, and probably never look back. When the co passengers are as easygoing as us, there would arise no issues. But at times when the bond means a lot to the other person and we pass by unconcerned or rather subsiding/restraining our feelings due to various constraints, unknowingly we would have left their mind agitated. Few people don’t let go off relations so comfortably. They tend to ruminate over this throughout; at the deeper end of their mind very subconsciously, which could prove detrimental for them

When it comes to my great grandmother, she use to keep hankering for the company of her children, grand children and great grand children. Habitually all of us disappointed her and never fulfilled her wish. We all ignored her desire unintentionally. When she left for the heavenly abode, all of us assembled there. But for what purpose.. she passed away discontented.

(I have made use of a real life example so that it would be very easy to relate.)

‘Time is Money’ is a very famous current day definition. But I would put that as a resource that’s just getting exhausted every minute. If we had no time yesterday for a relation, and neither do you hold it today to rebind, it’s very explicit that tomorrow one would  have no time for oneself as well. All this trickles down to say we are doing every possible thing to hold nothing tomorrow. Neither ourselves nor our near and dear ones.

So I think everyone should look back and  complete every incomplete relation. Let there be no living soul disheartened and craving for your liaison. As the delay in the realization may not give us another opportunity. There could also be a instance when they no more value your love even if it were to be showered on them.

Better late than never, each one of us must create an opportunity for our self and make up every broken relation that we have left behind. We have to show up all the love, affection we hold towards any individual as it may mean everything to that human. We would not be losing anything by being expressive of that we hold.

We must always move forward in life piggybacking all the relations we made and not their memories.
