Memory has the funny capacity like moving movie frames to fade out, to slo-mo, to freeze, zoom-in, zoom-out and in short create all sorts of metaphysical confusion a movie can create in your sub conscious.
Memory frames can be the candy floss romance which only contain sweet little nothings, or like a war movie remind you and force you to revisit the blood and gore of a mental landscape.
Surprisingly Memory frames are also the hinges around which we hang our doors and windows to the world. The value system is a mesh (sometimes a mess) that is strung across this frame of early memories of words (spoken or implied), images, the plausible feelings of hurt or elation related to incident(s).
We watch, again and again, master pieces of movies in all genres - the unrequited love stories, the stories we love because they scare the daylight out of us, the pathos patriotic tragedies, the "I know it is non sense, but I still like it maan" popcorns. WHY???
They make us feel alive and provide us the emotional stimuli we might feel we are missing out in real life.
This is an effort to dust out and recollect the very valuable memory frames and celebrate them.
If we can spend money and good time to go shed copious tears into our hand kerchiefs I think we can spend similar time in celebrating the memories that have defined our lives and the value systems we live by.
Welcome to this festival of memory frames. Like to exhibit your memory frames to the world, while you celebrate them. Go ahead, the world will be a better place with people who remember to know what they felt and let those feelings guide them.
