Life is not new...experience is.

Sometimes it just takes a chance to get triggered. To get angry, to fall in love, to decide on something, or to remember a lost moment. Sometimes I wonder, are lost moments suppose to be a part of the past and need to be left behind? So that we can move on towards the future...to experience something new. I have been there a lot of times. What was left behind was not that moment but a part of me...which existed in that moment.

The other day watching a small girl, looking at the cookies through the glass reminded me of times I use to go to the bakery with Aai(mother) to buy bread; eating the pineapple pastry with my eyes. Having the luxury of eating the sweet wasn't really how we were brought up...there were always more important things to do... so, a part of me grew older and learned to be disciplined or maybe I was getting trained to know what not to ask for and let go.

I shared the cookie with her... after all she brought back that lost part of me...
