‘Time to confess’

Enough is enough !!!

Time n time again i keep forgetting my several keys to different entries. Mom-in-law once told me-’keep your things safe and locked so that nothing gets misplaced’, i took the advice rather too serious. I made sure all was locked in and safe till i started acting smart by changing places of my keys, consequently hiding them from myself more then anyone.

To top it i became forgetful and lots of times it took me moments before Mr.Brain sent me waves of recollection, making me feel i had won the battle for that particular day atleast !

Gradually, my forgetfulness kept increasing with the inevitable journey through years. Can you beat it,barely at 32yrs of age one fine day when my little daughter walked up to me in school, it took me couple of seconds to remember,’Gosh ! that’s my baby. Oh God what was happening to me..? Guess its the stress in life that often puts the mind in such a confused state, exasperating though. Sure must be happening to so many people so i was no exception.

Slowly my forgetfulness took a humourus twist,decided many times not to hide things but by then it had become a habit for me…… calling trouble on myself frequently.

Now done with my forty’s i must buy myself all non stick and black enamelled cookwear cause that is how most of my pots and pans will look with frequently forgetting them on the oven, rather fire!

Finally let me tell you one thing there is a catch here, my trouble is only with the short term memory and immediate happenings,slowly thoughts do fall back in place. Infact,there are several incidents i remember from my childhood rewinding back to 4 years of age.

So lets call this selective forgetting, should we ? A boon at times when you would rather let bad incidents take a back seat and stay forgotten forever……..
