REMEMBER THE ORIGIN

A forgotten memory. A familiar face. A life-changing realization.
While trying to remember an observation he had shared over
breakfast, Dr. Abhishek Gilara found himself unable to recall
it—until a chance encounter in a hotel parking area suddenly
brought the entire incident back to life. The reason was simple.
He had been trying to remember the story. He had forgotten
where the story began. That ordinary experience revealed an
extraordinary truth:
When we forget the origin, we often forget the meaning. In Remember the Origin, Dr. Abhishek
Gilara explores how the beginnings of our lives quietly shape everything that follows. Blending
personal experiences with insights from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, leadership, business,
and spirituality, he shows why remembering our origins is essential for preserving purpose,
values, and identity. Inside this book, you will discover why the brain remembers through context,
not isolated events; how forgetting the beginning causes us to lose meaning; why families,
relationships, and organizations become stronger when they preserve their stories; how great
leaders and enduring brands stay connected to their original purpose; and practical ways to reconnect
with your own beginnings whenever life feels uncertain or directionless. This is more than a
book about memory. It is a reminder that the answers we seek are often hidden in the places where
our journey first began. Because whenever life becomes confusing… Do not rush to search for a
new direction. First remember your origin. It may already hold the answer you have been looking
for.
