TAGGED

Well I have been tagged for the first time and frankly speaking I dont know how to start and what to write inspite of knowing the format. So here is my first attempt..........

Life ten years ago.......
Well..... today looking back and seeing through the eyes of an eight year old girl it was a year which she wished have never came in her life. I had to shift from my old school Patha-bhavan to B.D.M.I due to distance from my home and ill health,leaving behind my old friends and teachers. But the worst blow came when my maternal grandfather passed away suddenly. How desperately at that time I wished to unturn all the events and start the year afresh.........but as it says that time and tide waits for none, I was also carried forward.......

Life five years ago
Travelling is like a passion to me and I enjoy each and every part of it......Generally we used to go for a long holiday once in a year but that year I was lucky to get two in a year. Particularly one of the tour is still very prominent in my memory.......we started from eastern coast,Chennai and ended our tour on the western coast in Goa.That journey was really fabulous and I wish to do the same trip again if ever I get a chance .......then there was my first stage play at my apartment during the pujas and quiz shows from school which somewhat helped me to shed my fear of public speaking..... above all it was a good year.

Life tomorrow
Who knows????.....past is history, one can never go back but can relive the memories and future is mystery,no one knows what destiny has stored for each of us. But one thing is sure that I'm ready to witness and experience every meanders and turns of my life....

Five locations I would run away to
Five location I would like to visit are

• Hampi, Coorg and Karwar (together)
• Munsiyari
• Egypt (with maa to see the mummys and pyramids)
• Italy and Vatican (for rich culture and heritage)
• Austria and Switzerland (for magnificent landscape and to avail the route from austria to switzerland through alps as done by the Von trapp family - sound of music)

Five bad habits

• Bit short tempered
• Somewhat unpredictable
• Thinks from the heart ,gets easily and emotionally attached with people, so as a result quite often ends up getting badly hurt (well nowadays one need to think from brain which I lack)
• Do have some own ideals which I never breaks for anyone
• Quite talkative (hence in company of friends prefer good listeners)

Five thing I'll never wear

• spaghetti tops (too shy to wear in public)
• stelletoes (I cant walk on toothpicks)

cant think of any other restrictions. Let's see if in future any more restrictions add up!!!!

Five biggest joy at the moment

Nothing right now!!!! and truly speaking I dont want any big joy now because sadness and joy are the two opposite face of a same coin, so if one comes can other be far away!!!!!

Something to achieve by next year

May be a school leaving certificate to enter another new phase of life.....

Something that impacted me last year

Inhuman internal violence against our own fellow men which created waves of turmoil throughout the nation.

What will I miss about year 2007

well this is year will always remain special to me because it marked my first public examination and entering into a brand new threshold of life with new outlook and zeal. But on whole I will miss the year itself as it will never come back again.

Five things I want to do before I die

• We have only one life to live.....so I want to live every moment of life .
• create my own individual identity
• To learn new and share what I know with others.
• To do something real good
• Last but not the least, I want to make all the above statements to be true so that at the end I dont die with a regret in mind.

Mighty v/s Mighter

• We generally associate the word mighty in physical sense. But can't we address a man with strong mind determination and mental endurance with the same name? I definitely agree with the fact people with strong physical abilities should be termed as "mighty" but people with firm conviction in my opinion are "mighter". And which cannot be won with violence can surely be achieved through the words of love and compassion. Hence I strongly believe the proverb that "Pen Is Mighter Than sword".

• History has produced renouned emperors, brave soldiers and great warriors from Hercules, Achilles, Alexander, Napolean to Ashoka, Akbar, Shivaji and so on who have fought many battles,conquered many territories and achieved many victories. But they all witnessed their downfall with the passage of time. On the contrary, the literary and scientific works of great authors and writers like Socretes, Aristotle, Plato, Homer, Rousseu, Shakespeare, Valmiki, kalidasa and many more have remained immortal in the pages of history still today. Their works have awakened and inspired millions towards a new realization and rationalization which left a mesmirizing spell on the posterity.

• Adding to the list, a pen can bring revolution in the society and at the same time can destroy evil forces whereas violence is only the weapon of mass destruction.So the pen is destroyer as wll as preserver. Hence I conclude by saying "His Power Nil, Authority Enormous".

Whose India

• 'INDIA'- Whenever I utter these five letters the first thing which comes to my mind is our tricolour flag which is the symbol of peace, integrity, youthfulness, harmony and above all unity. Thus to describe INDIA in one sentence, we often say "Unity in Diversity". But are we really united?.........ofcourse we are united,united by our self centredness & selfishness but not united spiritually.
• Today there is not only religious, caste and creed barrier but also language and state barriers.And thanks to our politicians their microscopic existence has now become macroscopic problems. For their vote banks these politicians are adopting nasty techniques to hit back each other and the irony of fate is that common man are being victimised. We have lost our sense of judgements, whatever these so called noble people who have devoted themselves for the sake of our nation are teaching us we are gulping it down.
• Why are we proudly glorifying our state and religion and caste; why cant we have pride in calling ourselves Indians!!!! Now we are all in a competetion to establish our individual culture, heritage, religion and so many things but we are not even bothered leaving apart our concerns, for our national heritage and culture. Why we forget that on international platform we represent INDIA,our motherland and not any individual state and religion. In this race of racial supremacy, we are losing our own original identity and if this phenomena continues then the day is not far when we have to look for the answer ''WHOSE INDIA''????

stepping stone

This is the first time I'm writing something, frankly dont know what but its a whole new experience and I'm enjoying it. Writing with a pen and then switching suddenly to a keyboard is not what I'm accustomed with. But as it says that without exploring the new avenues & oppurtunities one can never live their life utmost, so here I'm ready to knock on the door to experience yet another aspect of life.

The above material may be too short but I think its enough for a start.
