Is it easy to remember or hard to forget?

It's 4am and I am sitting idle wondering what should I blog about! I know it's rather a weird hour and time to think of something like a blog but then I strongly believe in the sentiments voiced out by my ideal in 'Jab We Met' - "Weird lag raha hai na...toh karna chahiye"...
Well while I was sitting on the couch and watching some random music channels, a thousand things were going on inside my head- old memories of friends, foes, strangers I had met, happy times n creepy times. It was amazing how even a simple cup of tea could bring back memories of old times. I was wondering if it was easy to remember things or was it  hard to forget them! Just penning downsome random thoughts ...
  • Is it easy to remember the fairy tales and adventure stories that one used to hear from grandpas n grandmas as a kid or is it hard to forget those stories coz they are the best memories we have of our grand-parents?
  • Is it easy to remember the first school we went to coz thr we met the 1st 'idiots' we called chaddi buddies or is it hard to forget that school coz most of the friends we met there are no longer the idiots we knew?
  • Is it easy to remember the 1st time we flunked in a test and the scolding/slap we received for the "acheivement" from dad or is it hard to forget that failure coz now there's no1 to bother if you pass or fail in the everyday tests of your daily life?
  • Is it easy to remember the first trophy we got for outstanding performance coz that reminds us of our excellence or is it hard to forget coz it's hard to imagine how a thing as simple as a 'trophy' could make us happy?
  • Is it easy to remember the first love of our life coz that feeling still stirs strings of innocent n happy memories or is it hard to forget the first time we loved selflessly and got dumped?
  • Is it easy to remember your first job coz you that was the 1st time you were excited about working or is it difficult to forget it coz it was also the last time you were excited about working?
  • Is it easy to remember your first car/bike coz it symbolized your first possession from your hard-earned money or is it difficult to forget it coz you are still paying the installments of the EMI you took to buy that?
  • Is it easy to remember the first time you got drunk coz it was the 1st time you didnt remember the "wild" fun you had after that or is it hard to forget the day that got you used to a drink that always made you forget the fun you had?
  • Is it easy to remember the first time you were cried all alone coz you didn't know who else could act as the 'wall' or is it hard to forget that it was the time when you so desperately wanted to run away from the world and celebrate your failures by yourself?
  • Is it easy to remember the things that made you happy in life coz that still brings a smile on your lips or is it just too hard to forget those moments as you can't have them back ever?
While I keep wondering you can go ahead and do some thinking yourself if any of the points above made any sense to you.. :)
