New Word #1

It's 18th day of the month March. Today it feels that its a matter of yesterday only since we have a bash on the new year. The time seems to have passed so quickly!!! Two months = Two Days if we look back.

We often have to face many moments which appears to be close when they actually have happened in a distant past.

Then I have found the term used to describe this psychological phenomenon while reading a book "Making Time" authored by Steve Taylor.

"Forward Telescoping " - the tendency to think that past events have happened more recently than they actually have.
