memory is something which supposedly reduces with time, with age.. It is same with our thoughts on people.. When they are in the spotlight, they are remebered.. whereas once they are out of focus.. they are out of our minds..
one such person who came into my mind was our ex-defence minister and a strong politician, George Fernandes.. Last day, i got to read an article which mentioned about his deteriorating health condition..
Born to a catholic family at mangalore and later escaping the church, where he was to be a priest, to bombay (now mumbai)- he went on to become the founder member and one of the most powerful leader of the JD(U)..
But now.. a leader so popular, is no more remebered.. It was said that he is in major treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.. The eyes, which were once so vibrant and radiant are now in a jinx.. unable to remember the past, unable to recognize anyone, untouched, immovable..
It is not just he who has lost his memory, but a larger crowd in our country too, who have forgotten him.. this is life i guess..
