Junk Memories…

My House just went under renovation and took out some old stuff that had accumulated in the house. Never ever understood why we kept all of them just utilizing the place and nothing else….
But going through it I realized that these were really worth it….. Not that I received thousand bucks after selling them…. But these were really worth emotionally…
While removing them I found an old oven which Mum used to make me cakes well it was only two or three times but when I saw it being broken to pieces I felt real pain quite natural thinking of all the hard work Mum used to go through to make those cakes for me for a moment the taste just came back to me as if the oven was saying remember it I was the one who gave you that taste a last way of saying goodbye I suppose…
Of the old stuffs there were some comic books which I used to read when I was small I don’t know I think some of them were also used by my cousins before me as well…. Some old Greeting Cards from I suppose when I was like ten or something surely my collection was worth for an antique collector but they must now be under recycling which is much better I suppose…
It’s not only me I suppose everybody saves these kind of things and though when you see them you feel that it is junk but when you just spent a minute to look at them you realize that all this is a part of your life every single thing has a special moment attached to it a moment of joy of happiness and that’s when I realized this is the exactly why you keep them so that when you look at them years latter you remember of the wonder full times and at least for a minute or two just forget about the hardships of life and take a walk back the memory lane.
Though these things are usually thrown away they do their work of bringing back the lovely memories the ones that may never come back but will always be remembered when you think of the amount of junk it created and even though we will have anger on our face some where in the heart we will still be happy because it will bring back all the memories we left behind …..
