Young Man Archetypes

The insouciant laughter of a young man; he’s riding a bi-cycle along an avenue road flanked by trees; a ball rolling on your way from a playground kicked off by a hunk when you walk like a savage to burn out your sugar; a youngster who thrashes his colleague for chewing bubble gum while the national anthem is being sung; another young chap who, carrying in his arms a small boy injured in an accident in the middle of a road, dashes to the hospital, all trigger your memories and make them meet your alter egos. They are your archetypes from whom you have walked long back. Rewind the Time a bit … hurtle it down the decades … and there … there you could find yourself in your twenties bubbling with energy and brimming with youth. Your flashing eyes
carry no bags and cheeks are smooth sans hollowness. A rugged man you are dripping with energy. We always like to recall what we were once; to cherish staggering the memory lane, catching up with that hunky image buried in the realm of Time. We would always wish to blow up our memories into a bubble and live inside it forever.
When the odds of life become invincible, we, naturally, take refuge in old, sweet memories.
