What is your personal key to your memories? What is that one thing that triggers a memory? As our lives course through the landscapes of time, flowing through the joys and pleasures and of course the troughs intertwining momentarily meeting beautiful people on the way it stores a lot of snapshots in our brains. Some you never even knew you held until something or someone causes you to remember it. Most often its an indicator of a certain time in your life. Everything that was part of that memory would have evolved and if you didnt have that memory, you wouldnt even think that possible. 'You' frozen in that bubble of time - your timescape.
To me it's a song! A song, of many things its meant to be is also a token of a timescape. It brings back to me thoughts of where I was when I heard that song, who I was with, what were the things that defined me then.
Friends are weird people! They show up in most timescapes and look different in different ones. Who in hell would have thought Kaatu would become a salsa dancer or Appappan would become the incorrigible bachelor or Anoop or Ganesh would become responsible family men! ...kidding. Every decision we make along the course of our lives define who we are now. And meetings with friends after a long time are a throw back to where we have been and where we could be if we made any of those choices differently.
Good to have friends! Viva la amistad!
