There was a quaint coastal village in Kerala which had a picturesque beach leading up to a majestic cliff wall. Here once lived Ramu and Raju, two village children who happened to be very thick pals. They were always found to be together.
One day, while playing on the beach, they had a fight – as children (and more often the older variants) are bound to do. As an immediate solution, Ramu hit Raju and told him that they would no more be friends. Raju, deeply hurt, went and sat on the sands of the beach, watching the waves. After some time, he wrote thus on the sand – “Today Ramu and I decided not to be friends anymore”.Ramu, on contemplation of events, started feeling lousy. After some time, he went up to Raju, and after hugging him, apologized profusely. On the turn of events thus, a very happy Raju walked up to the Rocks of the cliff and taking a sharp stone, carved and etched thus on to the rock – “Today Ramu and I continue to be the best friends we always were”.
Paste your bad memories where it can be washed away easily, the good ones – etch them onto you where it can never be taken away. M. Kalipurayath
