Living in Past can be good...!

I was attending one motivational kindda lecture. The orator narrated, "Today is yours, you can't change past, you don't know future. Hence live in present as it is key to happiness. I was supremely tempted to ask her "What if past gives us happiness"?? As expected most of the times I couldn't ask..(Although I hate to mention this.)

Yes, there is no dearth of beautiful things in world. You just need to know where to look for them. Everyone have their own good times as well as bad past memories. It's just matter where you plug your connection. Trying to spare some time within me & chanting sweet past refines me. To me, yesterday is not cancelled cheque but an 24 x 7 ATM machine from where you can always cash in happiness. It has also got one extra advantage - no one can take away this asset unless ofcourse a nervous breakdown. (If at all your nerves betray you, you don't need to clinch any happiness. You will always be happy)

The only thing one has to do is avoid lamenting that those are passed. Expect less & rejoice past. Some of my past memories which I would like to harped on...

• Quality time spend with childhood neighbourhood friends.
• Time spend with cousin brothers & sisters.
• Bapuji for pampering me endlessly.
• School friends: Unselfish relations, I love that eh?
• Teachers Pet..(Is that me???)
• Laughing aloud on silly things. (Who cares? Laughing is important right?)
• Last day of exams..(Felt like world war came to an end)
• Getting the highest grade in school and outstripping competitors. (Felt like winning an oscar).
• Winning tag of "good type boy" in family consistently.
• Crazy dance in middle of roads. (Lalbha you were a freak! We both needed to develop our careers in choreography.)
• Winning Mono Act competition for years in school. (there were lots of alternate careers for me you know, it was only i realised it later.)
• Dying to see porno pics. (Now even that doesn't excite me any more. And yeah that doesn't mean to doubt on my testosterone levels)
• Night outs with friends. Trying out all prohibited things by a taboo like taking drinks, smoke,non veg.
• Emulating wannabe cool attitude. (Later realised you cann't change a nerd into dude)
• Taking tuition classes. Thanks to my cutiest students. (Its unbelievable; even I could teach!)
• College crush. (Dash, you are still on my top chart)
• Rommies & friends of MBA class (I know many of would read this, so one has to mention you know)
• Persistent curiosity versus eternal laziness.
• And above all Childhood innocence!!!

Try it, your past is not always dismal and unsatiating........."Live in past" ;-)
