Memory

This weekend was another good weekend out of home, went to visit the LongLeat. In the Longleat house, a palace like building, I came across this poem.

What do Cats remember of days?
They remember the ways in from the cold,
The warmest spot, the place for food.
They remember the places of pain, their enemies,
The irritation of birds, the warm fumes of the soil.
They remember the creak of a bed, the sound
Of their owners footsteps,
The taste of fish, the loveliness of cream.
Cats remember what is essential of days.
Letting all other memories go as if of no worth
They sleep sounder than we,
Whose hearts break remembering
So many inessential things.


I remembered the scene from Aalavandhan, the introduction scene of Nandhu.


Nandhu:  Gnabagam, that’s a key word. Adhu onakilla, enakkirukku
Vijay: Adhan un viyadhiye, gnabagam. sila vishayangala marakaradhu nalladhu Nandhu.

And we have this famous proverb “forgive your enemies, but never forget them”. Wish you all have a good memory of all the essential things and a great life.
