What If…
This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 7; the seventh edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.
What If….
“What if” is a question and lots of questions are beginning to crop up.
Thinking out loud…
- What if men got pregnant?
- What if dinosaurs lived today?
- What if you were convicted of a crime that wasn’t?
- What if God was one of us?
- What if your spouse was cheating on you?
- What if kids ruled the world?
- What if Coco Cola had brand extensions like Coca Cola Plus (Coca Cola with Vodka), Coca Cola DS (Coca Cola with Rum), Coca Cola Forte (Coca Cola with Whiskey)…
- What if your body gave an instant alarm whenever you took an extra calorie of food!
- What if the doctor had a stroke while performing a surgery on you!
- What if you could go back in time and “Undo” the mistakes you did.
- What if, the aliens and monster creatures of sci-fi movies attacked you, the way they do in movies?
- What if life was a bed of roses.
- What if there was a crime free world.
- What if everybody was happy.
- What if you went on a date to an expensive restaurant and found that your credit card was blocked?
- What if you could read every body’s thoughts?
- What if your best friend falls in love with you?
- What if your doctor looked like Brad Pitt!?
- What if your father is the next President of the country?
- What if you are addicted to FarmVille and know about it too?
What if…
Well, I can have a lots of “Ifs” and you can have a lot of “Buts”, but If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas, so until then Happy Blog-a-ton!
Cheers 🙂

Lots of interesting questions, and some wild too. Like ‘what if the doctor had a stroke while performing a surgery on you?!’
And it doesn’t matter if the doctor looked like Brad Pitt to me. But yeah, it matters a lot (and how!) if the doctor looked like Drew Barrimore. 😉
Nice post!
All the best for BATOM!

Thats an expansive and truly creative list there…What if you could read every body’s thoughts? has played on my mind many times..
Especially after the ‘What WOmen Want!’ movie..Really What if?…
Wishing you luck for BATOM..
this will be the 1st time I’ll participate so a review from veteran writers like you will be treasured..
Thanks,
Tc.

What if only one look at a wonderfully written list was enough to memorize it forever.
What if you can share this wonderfully interesting list with your friends in facebook…..oh,one can do that!!Thankfully!!!

Ahha that’s an interesting take on the topic… the doctor getting a stroke while performing the surgery kinda freeked me out… i hope that never happens lol…

My initial thing was wondering what if twitter didnt exist!
But i love this list. Managed to put a smile on my face!
February 6, 2010 6:43 pm|
Like you always do! Managed to keep it short and sweet! Love the way you list things out with bullets/numbers.
What if men got pregnant?
Women would get maternal leave to tend to them 😉
What if my doctor looked like Brad Pitt?
I’d have scared him away by telling ‘adoption’ stories and would hope/wish/pray for someone who looks like Johnny Depp take over 😛
Love the last line! If only ifs and buts were candy and nuts! Good One! Good luck with BATOM!
February 6, 2010 6:57 pm|
The Brad Pitt question is my favorite… remember that old song that goes, “Oh doctor I am in trouble!”, “Oh Goodness Gracious me!”
February 6, 2010 7:29 pm|

Hello There,
First let me introduce myself, I am ARJuna a young blogger from Mumbai.
I am sending this mail for a reason. I am turning 20 years old on 11th February, Thursday. This isn’t just any other birthday. It’s a coming of age of sorts and more importantly it is the day I cease to be a teenager. I pass on from being a Teen to an Adult.
I want to take this opportunity to connect with teens and adults alike who share my love for blogging. I want to know their views on the teenage and teens.
If you are interested to do a guest post for my blog, please make a note of the following:
1. Send me a reply on arjblogger@yahoo.com as soon as possible so that I know you are interested.(please mention your mail id to which i can send an invite to co-author my blog)
2. As soon as I receive your mail I will add you as a member of my blog until 15th February, Monday.
3. You can publish your post anytime in that period though it would be preferable if you could post on or before 11th February, Thursday (so that it can coincide with my ‘coming of age’)
4. I have given a few pointers below to give you some food for thought about what you can blog about in your post.
The guidelines for your post are as follows:
1. What are the most cherished memories that you associate with your teenage?
2. Times have changed – What do you think is the difference between teenagers of yesteryears and those of today?
4. What kind of trials & tribulations, internal conflicts, successes and failures did you face as a teenager?
5. Any precious piece of wisdom you realised as a teenager?
6. What does coming of age mean to you? When do you feel you came of age?
7. If you are a parent then you are welcome to share a parent’s perspective of your kids who are/will be teenagers.
These are just guidelines; you can choose to adhere to all/some of them but remember your style, creativity and opinion are more important.
Looking forward to your reply
