‘In order to fix a date, it is necessary to remember what one saw’. Have you experienced this at any time? Describe one such incident and the non-chronological details that helped you remember a particular date.

I still remember waking up in Kashmir on the 26^th January morning. The city popularly known as the Heaven on earth was under a strict curfew and the military took over the roads. I had my flight that morning from Kashmir to Delhi and the military joined us on our way to the airport. The airlines were so strict that day that they checked our luggage 5 times and did not allow a single handbag into the plane. The city which captured my heart the day before traumatized me the very next morning. So, it is rightly said that ‘In order to fix a date, it is necessary to remember what one saw.’ Every Republic Day I still recall those memories that provoke me to philosophize life and open my mental process to endless thoughts.
