To trash or not to?

It is not really that easy to obliterate memories - be it sweet or not so. At best, one can lay some beneath others, until one's mind gets back to its wonted quiet. Well, consciously. But again, there is always this risk:  Any similar incident may bring that buried memory to surface. Again, you have to consciously push it back. Quite a strenuous exercise it is.  But, unfortunately, we are left with no choice!

Today, as I opened my mail box there was this message saying the inbox was full and I might have to delete some of my mails or buy additional space. And, I chose to delete some of my old mails. There were some long chats too that got deleted. As I started to have cursory glance and delete one by one, this chat took quite a few minutes for me to decide whether to delete.q

She: Ya. I woke up too early today. Couldn't sleep. Jus was tossing on the bed. So watched both the seasons of How I Met Your Mother and was reading a couple of pages from Tagore's Chokher Bali. 

Me: Hmmmm...you know Bengali?

She: Translation ...translation....

Me: okay okay...

She: Remember? I told you about my friend...that bong girl...and her  blog....I read that too...where, I found this interesting...

Me: what?

She: Wait....ya...I have to cut and paste..

She: hmmm here you go...

Incredible, perhaps it is

For a woman

To be smitten by one,

To be addicted to another,

To worship yet another,

And to passionately desire

For someone else!

Incredible, perhaps it is

For a woman

To talk about

The animal longings

Of her limbs, and

Never to resist

Parched lips even

When the sun is 

Yellow with burning!

Me: Verrry good...Incedible, it is for a woman to speak her heart out like this. Heyy.. I remember ...she's the one who would say "words assembled by..."

She: Exactly! Your memory is good....:) But, she may switch to new host, I guess.
