Listening to Swarnalatha's songs always makes me think that I can listen to those songs just for her voice, even if I didn't like the tune or music or lyrics. Just as I am listening to Muqabla from Kaadhalan, I am thinking that her songs are what people like me would remember her for.
That made me think – what would I be remembered for, if I were to die tomorrow? I can think of a few. The programs I wrote for a family friend's hospital. FotoBlogr. Maybe some post from one of my blogs, if a friend cared to look for it again. Maybe two or three sessions I gave in my college, if it inspired at least one person to question their way of learning. Maybe the Ladder magazine, if anyone still remembered it (even I don't think of it often). Maybe the inventory program I wrote for Loyal Mills, though I am not sure if it's still in use.
I love Dido's line "you who loved to love, and believed we can never give enough", and I once wanted a friend to associate me with that line. But now, I guess it'd be more appropriate if I was remembered for the code I write; for the few minutes my code saves for people. Because, I think I put more of myself in my code than the love I have for people.
