Re-christened

Changed the name of my blog today. From "Memories" to "Footprints on the sands of time".

This title is a line in H.W.Longfellow's poem "The Psalm of life". (Psalm - sacred song or hymn), which btw is my father's favourite poem.

Felt this would be a more apt title, since whatever I have written is the re-rendition of the "footprints" left by people and experiences through time.

You can find the poem at The Psalm of Life

I find this renomering humble. Not a surprise, and not beyond anybody's surmise. Docility, demureness, reticence, serenity, longanimity, diligence and poise personified, thats u, as far as my cognizance goes, and im nt being fictitious here. But dont thou think, reminiscence is for eternity, recollections are to be cherished, relished, ruminated and basked? Unlike the moribund footprints whose fate offers nothing but attrition. Your words may be a tautology of the experiences of the hordes be4 you, might well be ingeminated by the tomes not yet incarnated, but that dsnt imply that ur memories are trinkets to be misnomered as mere "footsigns on the chron bed". I flinchingly resent ur move to rename ur redolent cyber-Eden.
