While it is known that people with depression see their present and future life enveloped in grief, however, a study has recently found that it also casts a long shadow over people’s memories of the past. According to researchers, depressed people have a peculiar view of the past — rather than glorifying the ‘good old days’ they project their generally bleak outlook on to past events.

not like a whole lot of India, Pondicherry appears to cherish its historical past instead of wiping it smooth with bright new homes, or letting it crumble in indifference. Pondicherry’s brush with colonial history and global appeal—it became ruled by using France from the 17th century to 1952, and in short via the Dutch and the British—has always given its antique-world attraction a decidedly cosmopolitan flavour. The town’s professional call Puducherry is a clue to the way it negotiates the beyond. in the beginning known as Puducheri, a Tamil port,…
