This one comes from Eve's Lungs. It's the perfect tag for someone like me because I tend to live in the past. Mulling over the state of the world takes a backseat as I delve into memories and recall instances and conversations and people with clarity. So, here goes.
My oldest memory: Is boring. My mother can't believe I remember this - I toddled over to the lowest shelf of the kitchen and knocked over an entire bowl of dal, creating a mess. So I must have been less than 2 years old. Sigh...butterfingers even back then.
Ten years ago: I was finishing college and agonizing over staying on at Stephen's versus going to JNU. Ah, that tiny sphere of concern.
My first thought this morning: Not already!
If you built a time capsule, what would it contain: Not sure of the principle of a time capsule, but it's like preserving things for eternity, right? In that case, it would hold everything and everyone from my present world, except, oh...cockroaches, terrorists, alarm clocks (ironic, in a time capsule..hah) and other irritants.
This year: I turned 30 but it was the least significant part of the year. I think that's what being an adult is all about. Much has happened - I have gone back to fulltime work, my brother has learnt to live on his own, I have said goodbyes, and hellos, and generally become more of what I want to be.
14 years from now: Is impossible to predict. I live in the past, remember?
Tagging: MM (as if she didn't have enough to blog about already), A Muser, Suku, and Audacious, just to get her to blog!!! And a dear cousin who has just started blogging and is thinking of topics - Chandra didi.
Thanks A...for tagging me. It's done!!
ReplyDeletesee another point of similarity between us - ancient memories
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. My oldest memory is a dream - that means I guess I remember my first dream. My dad hitting me with a pressure cooker!
ReplyDeleteSuku: Prompt! I already checked it out!
ReplyDeleteEve's Lungs: Yes, no wonder we found each other on cyberspace! I knew it when you mentioned The Chestry Oak - I can never get over that coincidence!
Nits: Ha ha ha...what sort of persecution complex is THAT! Thanks for commenting. It's been ages since I heard from you in the blogosphere.
I will try to make it my new year resolution to be active :)
ReplyDeleteyou still in Dubai?
Nits: That would be welcome. Yup, still in Dubai, at least till late 2009.
ReplyDeleteI have done my part...your tagging was real good idea for me to have something to think on...loved your ideas.
