Things are as they are, not as they should be!

Two Tags of 10s in 2010

Was Tagged by Subhayan some time back for these 2 Tags.
Taking them up…

I've been tagged

TAG I

10 THINGS I’VE LEARNT/GAINED IN 10 YEARS

Some gains in the last 10 years…

  • The very obvious…the vertical force exerted by somebody’s mass as a result of gravity!! There is a significant increase in it since the last 10 years! *Sigh*
  • A baby has been calling me “Ma” !! The most amazing and beautiful gain!
  • A bit lot of maturity…Does this sound too pompous??
  • Some knowledge of a lot of things!
  • Found some wonderful people who are now friends for life.


In the last 10 years, I have learnt …

  • Everything happens for a reason. You may not see it right away, but in time you will come to realize that it was for the best.
  • Making the best out of every situation is good. It makes life easier and happier! Cribbing and complaining, complicates things.
  • The power of prayers!
  • When your family becomes your friends, and your friends become your family…its like having the best of both worlds!!
  • Still have a lot to learn!


TAG II

10 THINGS I NEVER HAD OR USED 10 YEARS BACK, WHICH I CANNOT DO WITHOUT
OR USE A LOT TODAY

The second tag … a much lighter one!! (As Subhayan puts it)

  • My Laptop…Can’t imagine life without it!!
  • BSNL Broadband Connection…A satisfied customer says so.
  • My Blog…That’s the first web page I click open and is the last one to be closed…everyday.
  • Playing FarmVille…Gosh, what will I do, when I reach level 70?? Already on level 51 and still going strong!!
  • Good books to read! There’s one always on my bedside table!
  • A nice hot cup of tea – t.i.d. This is considering I had never tasted tea for a good two and a half decade!
  • Shopping expeditions…Love them more now!
  • A sweet after every meal. Though it negates the efforts in the gym…but, still…
  • My BIG handbag…it has everything I might need anytime!
  • My mobile… The necessity of the times, more than ever.

And now the Tagging part…I hereby Tag…Lostworld, Chatterbox, Pra, Neha, Guria, Venky, Lakshmi Rajan, Tavish, Shruti, Saurabh P, TheSchmuck, Makk, Nishita, Kavita, Kadambari, Madhu, Avdi, Richa, Jaunty Anima, Sorcerer, Mohammed, Rohini…

Amrit, Pawan, Sid, Vipul, Dhiman, Roshmi, Avada, don’t fret that your name isn’t here!! And you know why!!

Take it up, guys! Would love to see your versions of these Tags!!

  1. Yeah, I know what you mean. I am now level 46 and have already been thinking about the ending. Hope they will increase the levels by the time we reach there. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Thanks for tagging. Will do the tag asap…

  2. Thank you Shilpa for tagging me.
    These tags sound fun.
    You’ve done them wonderfully, my most answers will be the same as yours.

    Keep up the good work. Hope to see you around 🙂

    Cheers!!

  3. Thanks for the tag. Will take it up soon.

    My BSNL broad is so nice, that I used u my 2.5 GB in 20 days itself. (Facebook, Farmville, Mafia Wars!)

    So have to stick to happy hours currently!

  4. @ theschmuck : Cool! 🙂

    Good to see you here! 🙂

    @ Shruti : I know, these tags went a lil out of season for some time! Hence, not much tagging around! Let’s start this Tagging business again! 😀

    Oh you surely will reach higher levels…you are a dedicated farmer, I know that! 🙂

  5. Nahiiiiin..I just managed 1 tag & I am tagged already!! Can I do it 10 years later!?!;-O

    Brilliantly done Shilpa. I was shocked when I didn’t see farmville in tag I..but not for long! May you achieve that elusive level 70 pretty soon.

    ‘Everything happens for a reason’.. I don’t go by this logic always..I feel one must work towards the way they want things to happen!

    Cheers!!!

  6. hello neighbour 🙂

    I hope you reach level 70 (should i say asap or aaram se? please help)

    thanks for tagging me 🙂 will take it up soon..

  7. Many of your answers would match mine like blogs, broadband, laptop etc… Hmmm….FV had to appear 😀 don’t worry the company will extend the game further by the time you reach there ….

  8. I loved the MA point a lot and completely agree with you on what you said about family and friends…keep on working out ,a little sweet after dinner is fine…a big handbag? no matter how big a handbag is,there is always a lack of space(in my case)…power of prayers,i too feel it everyday.

    Great tag Shilpa…really loved reading it.Happy weekend.

  9. Well I think you spoke every1’s mind…..some gains and the things learnt …life gives you and teaches you lots and still we are left with so much to learn. Good one! Sorry had been on a long break but i am back now ..cheers 😉

  13. 1. There are 2 bloggers by the name of “Kadambari” – which one are you tagging?

    2. I used to blog under the official nick-name “Kaddu” but if you did in fact tag me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it… I stopped blogging! 🙁

    But hey… I agree with the BSNL bit… I’m a satisfied customer too!
