Some history:traverse my memory lane with me
Why such an obssession with memory?
I even have a blog,co-authored by my mother(who is into things as spiritually demanding as Thiruppugazh),called Memory Lane.
Reason is,I experienced a case of hydroplaning of my car in the US;nothing major lost as a result,but I guess memory is something that can be in the balance:İ had some minor head bumps in my car(all saved by airbags).Memory means so much to me;is it any shock?My research (research in any subject,for that matter)is built on it,any hint of memory loss can be disastrous in research in any field,because there will be any number of instances of highly-ranked professors,students and the like submitting a variety of queries and it wouldn't look good if the researcher(me)stands there looking lost;also,I had interest in lots of things in the past that required pellucid memory,different forms of music,Carnatic in particular,to be specific.Thankfully,I didn't get into playacting,so I stayed true to my self.
And suppose something had gone wrong during that incident,'hydro planing memory loss'(is that a legal phrase?)could have been so much worse!I have to thank God sincerely for how things turned out.
