jaded, but not yet faded

when you start thinking of memories, of old times, good and bad, what is it that usually comes first to your mind? its pobably the first and the last events in a series of continuous chains .. even though they might be of the least significance ... even though the incidents in between might have shaped your life and you as a person on the whole, it is just those few moments that spring to the mind. was having this imaginary conversation with a friend (planning to call him and thinking of what all we need to talk about) i realised that the very first day we met (that was the start of the engg coll) was still floating in my mind, as if it had happened just a couple of days back. and then coming back to the present, i feel the first memory might be the only good memory about that incident which i am yet to see to a final end shape, but am not making any attempts to that end. all i know is that i can live with my memories as well, for a very long time, a few good memories .. and even in this short while, i am fortunate to have had one such incident. i am not sure if this is the end, the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning .. but am all too lost to decide for myself.
