Sea of memories and Sand of time.......



Today, while i was walking on the shore, Waves roaring in and out, some calm and some thundering, a wild thought stuck my mind. Sea is like the collection of all the memories of each and every small instance that we go through in life. When every wave came to me, it made me realize that its like a random memory that hit you in your daily routine. Some small and gentle and some thundering which shake you tip to toe. But then, as they leave , i don't know, this line might seem contradictory to many, but they leave a smile on your face. A deep calm smile. All the memories are good, whether of enemies or of friends, whether it had something related to it which hurts you or something that had made you extravagant and super happy at times. Each and every memory of yours has some learning or some sweet instance associated to it, whether it was a unpleasing or a happy happy memory for you. So, they all become subtle and at the end leave a gentle smile on your face! :)

As, i was walking on the wet sand, thinking over my wild thought, i just looked back and tried to see my foot prints, but before i could see them, they were already vanished. The waves had already washed them away. I was shocked and don't know why, but scared too. A dreadful thought had taken over my mind. I thought that as i am walking, i am leaving footprints on sand.These foot prints were like the moments i go through at present, the people i meet and the emotions i go through. Will they all vanish as i go ahead ?

But, then like a sudden enlightenment , i realized what it meant. Actually, as waves are like our old memories, they come and go, this time when they came, they met the new ones, made them comfortable and made the new ones also join their group. All of them safe and sound and locked forever in the sea, the sea of memories. 

While i was standing, a big wave came and while it was leaving, it also took some sand from below my feet, thus making me feel uncomfortable and indecisive and unsure. But then, when it completely left, i saw i got even deeper in to the sand and even more stagnant and stable. So does memories do to you.

Calm at times and roars may a times. 
Once in a while, time comes, when sea roars so hard that it causes destruction, hurts people around you too.But then, again back to normal. Calm, soothing and mysterious.

These were just random observations, but appear to be true to me.Don't know about you!! :P 
As the theme of the blog, random thoughts. God !! i guess its a pattern. I go random during every holiday!! :P

But, this one(thought or observation) was quite a big one for me! :)
