Aren't We Gathering Digital Dust?
The whole travelling idea is made out of a single insemination of an urge to break free. ain't it? Where we are clouded by the hustle and bustle of the daily monotonous life, the same old 9-5, with no new faces to interact with, the deadlines getting humped on with bills to pay, it becomes overwhelming for a normal individual, which makes him / her stop at busy red light, with the fumes of dream's guzzling engines roaring around and to plumet into a never ending thought - "when to have a breath of freedom?"
The good old day's stories we hear from our elder's where they crossed a whole natural battlefield to get to their school on time or a very commonly shared story of them seating under a street light to study for their exam's but yet apart from all those said hardship's of their's they always managed to gather a pool of money amongst friends, family or even their community neighborhood to travel together in a well aged bus and still be comfortably happy and click pictures for us to find years later today - think about that?
In today's era where hashtag's get your memories bona fide or number's of comment's and like approves the trip or the picture, it fail's against our elder's faded photograph which they have comfortably tucked away in an old album or that well aged leather wallet penny pocket, which carries an actual worth even in monetary means, google it for some lost and found post card's, letters, picture which go for an jaw dropping auction, who while clicking it never thought it would mean so much one day. While we yap around with a expensive camera in a brick we carry around in our pockets nowadays with no need to develop the image until later to find out how it actually came, I personally think we as a generation are missing out the actual fun it could have been in today's time, I know few of us out there are still using the old tech with a bit of expense but hey! that's a joy for some and a respectable one against the digital dust we are collecting on server's we might even not know where.
Ahhh! But it is indeed such a sensory pleasure to get hold of physical memories, its like holding a memory neuron in your hand and viewing it in a AI generated exploded view. I always make it a point to click a picture or at least find a post card from the local shop where I am visiting and send it back with my handwritten word's on it to myself and my close one's, the sheer joy it brings to me and them when they receive it is priceless and some how gives a reason to come back home anyways. Weirdly comforting!
Do you have any such physical photographs you just found recently which you never knew of or which had taken a free dive in the dark canyon of your forgotten memories in your brain but had bit of shadow looming somewhere in your heart and made you say "I thought I had lost this one." Go find one if you have the glimmer shinning after reading this, will meet you again once we cherish the same once found.
Go write that letter you always wanted - Go turn that picture around with a faded message written behind. That's the gold mine we are actually longing for.
