Capture it


Have you heard of that freak of nature in “Perfume – The Story of a Murderer” who wanted to capture smells (- good smells of course)?  Well, I tell you, Mr. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, capturing smells is useless if your sense of smell deteriorates with time – surely it does not ameliorate, let us face it… But the novel is so right in picturing how man wants to stick to today’s experience by capturing it. 

This brings to mind the romantic novel (not that I do much reading, to be honest!): “The Notebook”.  The old lady loses all her memories.  She does not even recognise the love of her life, neither does she remember her children.  Thank God for the notebook, in which she had captured all the memories by the use of the pen.

So I say, life is so short but it is all about EXPERIENCES.  So live and enjoy all the experiences but do not forget to CAPTURE THEM, because you never know!  In short:
Photograph it, sketch it, blog it

And this brings me to the end of the first blog; the blog that has taken me ages to write; the blog my better half has lost hope I will ever jot down; the blog that explains its own significance – the meaning of a blog.
