50+ Scratches

Hello Everyone, I know I know its gonna be a big big surprise to see a notification that I have written a post (that is if anyone still follows 🙂 ).. , its been a long long time. Took ages to log on as I had forgotten my username-password.  Thankfully I have now got it recovered, How are you all doing.

I thought of starting to get this blog working again , Life has been happening around but all that later, The biggest problem I feel now is that as I am trying to get back to writing and trying to woo all you lovely people back my mind seems to have stopped working.

I have been going through my drafts and scheduling a few posts to get published.. I found this tag that was quiet popular in the days gone by and was doing the rounds about four/Five years ago, I thought lets start it again ..

This tag is pretty simple. Just strike out the things that You have not done so far and to make it a bit spicier add a line or two as explanation to the ones that you have Done..

1.Graduated high school … Yeah I DID IT.. in spite of all the teachers saying I will not pass, I am sure some had a bet on too, But I regret graduation now in hindsight, as that was the best time of my life. I so wish to go back to it and do all those mistakes, stupidity everything again and AGAIN..

2.Kissed someone… No comments 🙂 .

3.Smoked a cigarette. …. No I hate smoking, the smoke , the smell it puts me off..

4.Got so drunk you passed out… Yes, and Lived to tell the tale (which I will sometime , as it was a funny episode now that I think of it)

5.Rode every ride at an amusement park… Yes, I had just come to UK and we went to Drayton manor park here, I took every RIDE.

6.Collected something stupid… Yes I collect MEMORIES. and no by stupid I mean Good stupid .

7.Gone to a rock concert… (I did go but could not get tickets so returned back)

8.Helped someone... I have put a strike on this , because I feel that if I have managed to help someone then it was my good luck, I was lucky and there can never be a time where we can have enough of helping someone, the world is becoming such a sad place, AND we all need to do our bit and continue doing our bit..

9.Gone fishing… (Oh yes, I remember going uphill in india, this is a funny episode, will have to post an article, let me say it did not end up in having Fish curry or fish fry 😦

10.Watched four  or more movies in one night… Oh yessss, a lot of times, I was in school hostel we use to rent a VCR on Saturday night, watch movies all night, fast forward the songs.

11.Snorted cocaine/Weed..(hopefully Will NEVER Try either)

12.Failed a subject… wowowo how could I NOT, I was the most outstanding student in the class ( always standing OUT OF THE CLASS :)), I had come from school to college, From ICSE to PSEB.. punjab school education board.. and I flunked in Punjabi.. disgraceful I know but my Punjabi was not that good.

13.Been in a car accident… ask me how many, I am accident prone.. I am thankful I am alive.. THANK YOU GOD .. I am sure there are a few out their wanting it to be otherwise but hey SORRY GUYS, tough luck

14.Watched someone die… The worst moments of my life, wish I could have done more and I prey that no one is in that situation.

15.Been to a funeral… Have been to a few now, the Men in our family seem to die off earlier. Although I would love to visit my OWN FUNERAL. just to see who all are there genuinely and see all those SMILEY faces .. saying GOOD RIDDANCE 🙂 Oh yes I have made so many people angry in my short life so far :).

25.Lost someone you loved… Sadly Life is not always a bed of roses, you win some – you lose some. But never forget the ones we have lost as god knows where – when – How we might meet up again. I have this theory that ..

Tag time again… “If…..then” Tag !!

I was tagged by  Renu, and harshad so here I am…

If I were a month…..Then It has to be November , I was born in the month 11/11 what a coincidence and looking forward to this year 11/11/11.

If I were a day of the week….Then I would pick a Friday.. Well after Friday I have Two days off and its time to sleep in late, no rush rush… So friday is always welcome as It has a wonderful feeling that tomorrow is a holiday and I just Love it zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If I were a time of day….  Then -When i was in india i loved the morning time , since i use to go for a run upto the sukhna lake and it use to be so pleasant , the early morning birds singing, people on walks all cheerful .. that was the best time cause as the day proceeds eahc one has a frown on the face .. Now also i guess its still morning

If I were a season….Then I have to be wrong here, I would want to be all the seasons cause each season has a beauty in itself, the autumn has all that beautiful foliage , lovely colours, Winters has its snow I love snow.. Summer offcourse has its heat which is quiet bearable here and offcourse i can show off my perfect ONE PACK..  and Spring too the seeds germinating it has a new life all over

If I were a planet…Then I  would like to be Earth for sure one must love what one has

If I were a sea animal… Then I would be a big Blue whale.. So big and huge yet such a docile creature.. keeps one its own, doesnot do any harm to anyone

If I were a direction….Then I would be northWest … Cause thats the direction to my home.. Chandigarh-India from where i am now …

Update to above answer:- “A” a good fellow blogger jsut informed that its not northwest its SouthEast .. so the answer is SouthEast cause even that taken me to Chandigarh , India HOME sweet HOME 🙂 Thanks “A”.

If I were a piece of furniture…. ThenI will definitely the BED.. imagine all that you can do on there, or even Under there 🙂 he he eheh

If I were a liquid…..Then I would be Alcohol Royal challenge (dont know why but i love that Daru ki bottle .. no hangovers after i have had that )

If I were a tree….Then I would be Mangoe tree I love that fruit its my favourite… and Leechy too Can i be Two and oh oh Cheeku tooo please please .. well my blog , my question so my rule i can be all three 🙂 We have two of each back home in india yummmyyyyyyyyyy 🙂

If I were a tool…. Then I would be a Pen for sure , they say a pen is stronger than a sword… though i dont know what i would write .. but then ooops thats upto the person who hold me 🙂

If I were an element….Then I would be Titanium.. very difficutl to Break 🙂 SOLID ME 🙂

If I were a gemstone……Then I would be Pukhraj, i wear it for something my Mum keeps moaning about

If I were a musical instrument….Then it would be Definitely a DHOL…. OYE CHAKK DE DHOLIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa .. cum on lets have some dhol dhamaka .. lets have some raunak shaunak …

If I were a color…..Then it has to be my favourite  Blue.. But at moment i thing RED the color of blood need to kill someone , hence it looks quiet inviting the color ……

If I were a emotion…..Then i would be Laughter… as its the best medicine and I love to laugh anyway all the time …

If I were a fruit…Then It would be mangoe for sure the king of the fruits .. I love it .. imagine sunny day , a big Drum of cold water filled with mangoes and you sitting around it … go on Beat that 🙂

If I were a sound…I will go with what Renu and say a Flute its so soothing and serene.. Back home in india there use to be Pinjore gardens where an old guy , a chain smoker would dit in a dry bed of fountain and he would play the flute it was mesmerising.. can still remember him WOWOWOW

If I were a car…..again I will go with Renu’s reply a Tata safari , loved the car now have it imported in uk 🙂 yepp .. and there is a punjabi song .. 

Neela Ford rakhiya Zameen Wahun nu — Rakhi hai Safari Ghuman ghumaun nu

(meaning i got a Ford tractor blue colour for tilling the land , and the safari for roaming around )…

If I were food…….Punabi food Sarson da Saag with Makki di roti.. yummmmy.

If I were a scent….The fresh smell of the first few drops of first rain on the parched earth…

If I were a pair of shoes…..definitely the Big high legged ones , cowboy types .. I remember again back home we used to get the shoes hand made , there is a shop in Sector 8 chandigarh that guy has made so many shoes for me 🙂

If I were a bird….It would be an eagle.

I would like to tag all those lovely people who come and read this .. go on give it a go it shud be fun 🙂
