I Remember ...


I remember a Summer day ...
I remember the warmth of sunshine , late afternoon ...
I remember the warm breeze on the terrace ... 
I remember the smell of spicy cooking in the afternoons ... 
I remember enjoying , eating melons and mangoes at the end of a meal ... 
I remember my bright blue clips which held my hair ... 
I remember the sand beneath my feet ... 
I remember the cartoons which were played on Saturday mornings ... 
I remember the "traffic watching" sessions ... 
I remember playing house with a bunch of friends ... 
I remember enjoying the shade of a tree during the harsh summer months...
I remember the salty air .... 
I remember the color of the blooms ... 
I remember the smell of the earth ... 
I remember the arts and crafts classes ... 
I remember the smell of old musty books ... 
I remember those summers ......................................

Any Regrets ??

I have always thought of myself as a  progressive person. A person who does not look back and think if something could have been done differently....People always say that never look back and do not regret anything in life, what is done is done.. I wonder how they can think like that.. 
A few days ago I started thinking of this No Regret policy :) 
I think it does not work , come on who are you kidding ?? There will always be something or a lot of  things which you will always regret and want to change ..... 
Most of these things will always be something to do with the people whom you have known ..... some who have treated you badly or some whom you have treated badly... There is always something which you could have changed, and something you would not have said or done ... 
Some crucial life changing decision which you would not have taken if you had the chance to wait it out ..... 
What a complex piece of time and space balance we live in .... sometimes i feel like running to a mad mad scientist and asking him about the time machine he promised to the world so that I can avoid the mistakes and the hurt .... 
Any takers ?? ..................
