The Tag

Yesterday

Your oldest memories...


I was 4 and lived with my family in Bahrain. My father asked me to go to the nearby store and get some soda for him. It was an Indian store in Manama and they had a big jackfruit there since it was jackfruit season in India. I never had smelled something so good. I stood there smelling and staring at that ‘chakka’ for 1 full hour. My father came looking for me and he saw me staring at that ‘chakka’ and he got it for me.
I was 4 years old and my mother was full term pregnant with my sister. She was hospitalized and that meant Pappa and me alone in the house (I just used to love those days). Pappa used to wake me up in the morning for school. I will wake up, open one eye and ask Pappa “ Pappa…can we sleep for some more time ?”. He never says no to anything I ask…so we sleep again. When my mother came back after delivery, she was shocked to see that Pappa had taken 5 days leave from his work and I had never been to school for past 8 days. I still remember the scolding we got for that.

What were you doing ten years ago?

Past 10 years (1998 – 2008) was the most eventful ones in my life. I completed my
10th in Kuwait and convinced my parents that I had to go to India for Entrance coaching. I stayed at my grandmother’s place and from that day onwards, life was a roller coaster ride for me. Fell in love with a beautiful girl and after 111100987 rejections from her, I persuaded her that I was indeed the right guy (Poor girl!!). It was in 1998 that I started body building to get in shape to impress my girl and a lot others who said that I am FAT (The only shape that I managed was ‘round’).

Today

Got up in the morning to see my daughter sitting on my chest and trying to pluck out some of my chest hair. We played with her for sometime and checked my laptop to see that I have been tagged. I was really happy to say the least. I followed my daily routine after that …called my parents, sister and 2 best friends in India while I was driving and started responding to the tag after reaching my office.

Tomorrow

Is a Friday. I love Fridays … uummaaa….Fridays are party days. I have plenty of friends here and we eat, drink and party whole night. My wife joins the ‘very important’ discussions till my daughter falls asleep on the sofa.

What do you see yourself doing 14 years from now?

My kiddo will be 15 by then. I see myself dragging her out of a casino or a dance club J. I hope to be just as in love with my wife as I am today. I will have my parents, sister and my two friends by my side (I begged those idiots to at least pass the 12th standard … but I am sure I will bring them somehow.)

If you build a time capsule what would it contain?

Definitely my wife and kid. And full supply of Whisky, A refrigerator for my ice cubes, lots of soda and Non-vegetarian food ( Chicken, Goat, Pork, Rabbit, Snake, Lizard, Humans…u name it …I eat it !!)

I tag,

Relatively new guy in blogosphere. And all the people I know have been tagged already (Damn you Silverine … L)

So I tag ..
