Little Things
For a second you can't remember any past or worry about the future. All you can think about is the wind blowing through your hairs, the really cold butterscotch ice cream and the warmness of his smile.
Its funny how little moments get stuck in our memory and refuse to leave. I might have had endless dinners at fancy restaurants but a small dinner in a little train compartment always comes up to my mind when I think of the best dinners of my life. I might have heard really witty and humorous jokes all around but when I actually laugh, I don't have a reason. Something cracks me up and then I can't stop laughing for hours.
Even now when I listen to Nelly Furtado, I am drifted to my old school days when I used to smuggle my phone somehow just so I could listen to music. ( Okay, don't you dare tell my teachers I am still scared of a few of them !)
I wear some of my old clothes just because they remind me of better days. I have a 6 year old pair of jeans that I still wear because I have a lot of memories attached to it. ( No it's not what you think, you dirty mind !)
My converse shoes are much more older. I would still wear them but the sole has come out,I used to wear them 24/7 . I have tried buying a new pair but the idea of replacing them is just heart breaking.
And then it's such a pain for me to change my phones. I mean yes, the new one's are definitely much better but when I look at my old phone it reminds me of all those funny texts and late night phone calls. I still have my old phone tucked carefully in my cupboard. It might not work but it still makes me happy. It reminds me of my school, my friends, my first date and a lucky wrong number.
My dearest Nokia,
you might be junk to a lot of people, but for me you will always be very, very special
I think it's really important to hold on to certain memories, because they can help us get over those difficult times when everything seems to be falling apart and nothing seems to be going our way.

Wow. .u grabbed my attention with the first line itself. .And your entire post, its really like a smooth flow of breeze at the right time making me feel like i am free from tensions an troubles and i feel floating in air with nothing else in my mind . .but the sweet small things which brings happiness in my life. .Should really appreciate that you have a wonderful flow of words when u start expressing what you feel in your mind. .
ReplyDelete. .and you really made me smile when you mentioned abt Nokia and how other (android) guys are treating it these days. Me too is a die hard Nokia fan and not just that its my first phone which holds a lot of memories and moments which are so cute and lovely. .:)
My old phone still somehow works, the display is gone but you can still talk or listen to music. I use it as my back up phone.
DeleteWhich Nokia phone did you have ?
My old one is a Nokia 2600 which got almost dead and hence i have kept it in shelf. And after that a series of phones purchased for me as well as gifted to my sis, all r of nokia only. Now also the one using is C5-03 n N73. Dont know why im not interested in goin for another brand, may be sometime later! :~)
DeleteMy old phone was Nokia's xpress music..that super sleek one. I would honestly still use it if it worked
DeleteYeah, can understand it. And huh it was like mobile means Nokia only few years back(kids these days wont understand ;-) ) and we have a special concern for it. . see our talk itself got consumed just by mobile!! Little things!! ;-) :D
DeleteHey... you know I still have Nokia 1100 because my sister gifted me this phone 8 years back when she got her first salary. So how can I change my phone. sometimes memories are so attached to things that it hurts when you have to change those things.
ReplyDeleteAnyway nice blog post :)

Nokia 1100 will always be my favorite ! Nothing could break that thing, it could however break everything ;)

Thanks :)
DeleteNostaliga is a good thing to have. I am happy almost all the time, but some of the best times were when we were kids, and the only thing that seemed important was to wait for 430 pm, when we'd rush out to the neighbourhood park and play cricket. Good times!
ReplyDeleteI used to go over and fight with the other kids :P
DeleteYeah,nostalgia is a good thing to have ;)
Beautiful post. This is the first time I am coming to your blog and I loved this post. I can sense your emotional connect there with each and every item of yours. Its so true. The line about the dinner in the train compartment kept me interested enough to read till the end. Its right when they say memories are meant to be cherished!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Deepa :)
DeleteAgreed!! When we jog our memories, the little things are always not boisterous, they are simple and touch us, sometimes without reason! ;) like liking a nokia ;O
