There's A Place Within Our Hearts

There's a place within our hearts
Where we keep our favorite memories,
The ones that never fail to make us smile --
And when life becomes too hectic
It's such a special feeling
To close our eyes and reminisce awhile.
(Amanda Bradley

Who doesn’t want to think of their childhood days and teenage days which are the best as there were no responsibility especially when you are a younger child. Just was thinking of those days when once in a month we were given castor oil to drink and that day very simple food. Every Friday we were supposed to take oil bath and that too not little oil, no shampoos those days but cheeyaka powder , sometimes the oil in the hair does not go and the face also used to look oily after washing it nicely with soap also. Slowly the cheekai was replaced by Mira seekakai powder and then with shampoo. Don’t know how many people take oil bath on Fridays.

Those days the bride never used to put any make up during her marriage, I had also not put but the bride used to look special on that day. During my cousin’s daughter’s marriage her cousins had put make up for her during Reception. Without make up only cousin and her daughter look pretty. Cousin’s daughter was asked to remove the make up by her mother in law saying that they asked her son to marry her seeing her natural beauty.

Memories of the days spent with my brothers and sisters , those lovely days will they come back again. Grandmother making the special dishes which we all used to like. My brother used to like Sevai very much and she used to make it so many times though it was a hard task.
Those lovely days spent with my best friend in her house , two hours everyday studying and playing and on Sundays more hours playing scrabble. Everyone in friend’s house were very nice. Everyday I used to go in her car to school. Will those days come back again.

Sweet memories of Office days where I worked for 38 years, used to play carrom during lunch time, have won prize also for singles and doubles. I was told to buy thre greeting cards as they like the wordings which I select. Had so many bosses young and old , all so nice , joined as typist, then steno then as Senior Assistant looking after bank reconciliation of the whole company. When the computer was introduced had to do reconciliations through computer, beginning it was very tough but our Director had confidence in me and beginning whole accounts department helped me and I was successful later doing it alone through computer. Will they come back again

I treasure sweet old memories as the time goes swiftly by
A few bring smiles of happiness and some tears to the eye

They all are precious in their way reopening the door of old
That have been shut these many years what pictures they unfold

These dear old, sweet old memories all play their special part
In bringing joy and opening up the latch strings of the heart ...
have a nice day

Life brings tears, smiles & MEMORIES….
The tears dry…The Smiles fade…
But the memories last forever….
