During a lecture on epic poetry like the MahÄbhÄrata and Iliad in my first year of college, my professor said, āWhen the whole world dies, even when brick and mortar is destroyed, memory survives. It survives and lives on in generations to come. And literature carries that memory. All your geography, your economics, your psychology, theyāre all based on the memory of man, passed down generations after generations. These epic poems and literature we are studying right now is to remind us that we too will be memories one day. And therefore, let us be good memories,ā and I think a piece of this lecture will live on in me wherever I go.
