A friend of mine works at this cool company that’s created this new social networking thing. Its called LifeBlob, and a part of it shows what’s called your “Timeline”. Its basically a history of stuff that happened to you it uses that to link up people. Its pretty cool actually, but that’s not the point of this story. When I saw this thing, I got thinking of my own life’s timeline. I tried to document what all I’ve done so far in my life:
1982: Born on Planet Earth. A lot of things went wrong that year.
1983: On my first birthday, I was telling stories apparently. No one else understood them, but it seems I myself found them incredibly funny.
1985: First day of school and I tripped and fell on my head on my way to class. Had to skip school that day. I bunked my first ever class on day 1.
1988: Pushed my Sister into a bucket of Gulab Jaamons that were to be served at my Aunt’s wedding.
1989: For the hell of me, I can’t figure out how to write the cursive letter “s”. I hadn’t seen Taare Zameen Par then, else would have claimed to be dyslexic.
1995: Introduced to computers through “Dangerous Dave” and “Prince of Persia” video games. I’m totally hooked.
1996: Set fire to my computer, literally, with smoke and all. I was trying to overclock the CPU because my computer wasn’t fast enough to play Doom. Tried to convince Dad it was a computer virus that burnt the motherboard and melted the CPU without success.
1998: A friend and I co-invent the reverse-proxy method of attendance acquisition. Forget to get a patent on it, now everyone uses it.
2000: Time to decide between Engineering and Tobacco farming. I pick Computer Engineering. Big Mistake.
2002: Bomb hoax at college, incidentally, on the day of the exams. I swear I didn’t do it, but if it wasn’t for that call, I’d definitely have flunked.
2004: Bought a PS2 on ebay with my first salary.
2006: Lost 6 Kgs on a trip to China because I couldn’t find anything to eat.
2008: Writing blog posts on a Friday night and trying to figure out how to get all this online on the lifeblob site. Yay! for all things 2.0!
U r marriage doesn’t fit into the TIME line ?
May be marriages are made in heaven, and you are referring to the earthly time lines , cool
Hehe… That’s a good one man! Maybe I can use it sometime
bomb hoax? wow.. looks like there’s someone smarter than you in coll…
cud nvr think of that, but we just slapped a couple of juniors and that resulted in a couple of guys being suspended, then boycott and ejjam cancel!
Yeah man! Some people were even more desperate than me to skip the exam that they could come up with the bomb hoax. Innovative stuff
Although, getting a few people suspended over ragging, then boycott sounds like a much safer solution
