Clearing out my old room today made me unearth so much of my childhood and teenaged years. From scraps of paper with notes passed in class, to old meticulously preserved colour pencil sets, letters from friends from a decade ago to 'quote books' filled with college quips! I even found an old ridiculous passport sized photo of a school chum, aptly titled "Arpita's Funny Photo 2006".
Most hilarious was finding my old college revision schedules, scrawled quite neatly on sheets of paper even though these were made in panic-mode a week before the exams, which had a to do line item called "Watch Grey's Anatomy with Ma" in every single semester!
The memories keep coming back and it is heartbreaking to let go of the past sometimes... Especially on the eve of my last evening at home this year, all these memories seem dearer than ever.
Hopefully, cardboard and duct tape will be enough to let me hold on to my childhood for at least a little longer even if I live far away, in both Time and Space. Thank goodness for little boxes!
