Flashback :
a : interruption of chronological sequence (as in a film or literary work) by interjection of events of earlier occurrence; also : an instance of flashback
b : a past incident recurring vividly in the mind (Merriam - Webster Dictionary)
I was looking my favorite movies in orkut and found most of them have kind of flash back sequence .. Say for example : Rocky series , Titanic , Lakshaya , Forrest Gump , Kill Bill , Terminator - 2 and Hang Over .. I am sure there are thousands of hit movies which are flash back based ... Dude : Does any of your fav movie has flash back :) ?
Even there are popular TV series which use Flashback technique like " How I met your mother " ( my fav :) ) , Lost and PrisonBreak ..
Many Top Best sellers authors use Flashback in their novels ...
Even our academicians has put a subject called "History" in our curriculum which is a nice subject provided that taught well and no need to cram those dates :) . History should be taught as story book ...Grrrr... Changing the topic:)
All above are examples of flasback used in art .. Art is mirror which shows what society want to see.... So , most of us like flashback ..
Everyone of us possess mental VCR ( Blu Ray Player ..Latest gizmo:) )that we use to analyze past events . Analyzing the past events are good to take further actions on whatever happened or resolving to act different in the future or to have some sweet / sour feeling of nostalgia for couple of minutes and then close the VCR. Flashback is good but problem comes when we plugged in this VCR for 24*7 :) . We keep looking our past success or failures , We rewind the tape and replay the scenes from different angles , either back patting ourself or kicking ourself on our past success or failure ... In 24*7 flashback , for success , we think those were the days and for failures , we think what we would have done that way and now it is too late .. For both ways ,We somehow lament :) Ha Ha Ha .. I just remember famous Baz Luhrmann 's sunscreen famous advice - Neither congratulate nor Berate yourself too much as all of them were our half choice ..
Dude .. You can only see movie or see a picture or read a book for a certain time .. not 24*7 :) Give some work for news channels dude :) Any way .. If Hindu philosphy is correct .. we all are going to have a big life flasback on death bed .. So wait for final show :)

When I start going back to the past .. remembering events .. I realize its indicative of the fact that I am stagnating a little bit. Its a signal to start something new !
Thanks a lot following it !
Flashback is always good for introspection and to take further action . Its great that you did in correct way !!! Great ! I am happy for you that it helped you :)
Sometimes , we just start living in flashback for 24*7 .. This should not be the case ... For such situation , we need to train ourself to recognize this thought process and shut it down immediately ...
