Time Travel

No , i haven't created a singularity nor was exposed to one nor have i created a time machine, what i have done is simply discovered a way to take my mind to a memory in the past.(future, sorry to disappoint you )

Just a few days back i was listening to A R Rahman , i came across this song


and instantly i reached the assembly area of my school in II standard . (you read it right , II standard) , i didn't even know that i had this memory. I remember it was that time of the year when all junior grades were preparing for the annual function. This song was used by the IVth graders and i saw them perform with their hands waving in the air in a synchronous manner , the teachers trying to correct the ones like me(zero dancing skills).The students stood in a rectangular formation consisting of several rows and there was a teacher with a whistle trying to synchronize the steps. Every whistle blow resulted in the next step of the dance sequence.
The venue of the annual function was a cricket stadium (Barkatullah Khan Stadium) in Jodhpur and  gosh that feeling of dancing in the center of the stadium , simply amazing.
All this came to my mind , and it felt like i was literally there while listening to this song.

So this is how i re lived something which was there somewhere in my mind ( similar to  Assassin's Creed , using Animus to re live memories , Desmund-Altair-Ezio). This has happened multiple times with multiple songs and it is possible that you might have experienced it too(happens if the repeating interval of the song is large)

Each song has a memory associated and many times a person as well.
Keep your minds open and let the song be your guide
