Have you ever wondered about this? I have! This morning I thought I would go back into my childhood, try and remember where I was on Vijayadashimi day, 50 years back?

Not even in a dream, I have seen myself riding an elephant. I write every often, even still I am writing about my childhood. So far many memories of the day that particular incident happened is crystal clear to me. The scientist haven’t been able to unravel the mysteries if how data is stored in the brain, but it is amazing indeed.
