Lots Of Work!
This academic session at my school has come to an end (unfortunately!). Yes, you have guessed it right! This means that my final term examinations are starting in a few days and so I got to study hard….I am digging into my school books these days (something that I should have done throughout the year) and wiping dust from them!
As my exams are nearing, I need a short break from blogging. But instead of keeping complete silence, I will continue posting some short poems or stories, so you all keep visiting! But before that, I should complete some memes that have been pending since a long time! Must say, these guys have such brilliant brains to tag….ME!!!!
The First
The first one is from Anoop at Tales Of A Lone Wolf and a bit tough! As Anoop says, “This is a meme, but a little bit serious and different. There are 10 points, and you are supposed to elaborate on each point.”
I have tried to do my best and here is what I came up with:
(1) It is important to be liked by others:
I can not say a ‘NO’ straight away to this. But I believe it is important that you like yourself and what you are. Until and unless you yourself are not satisfied with the way you are, no one will like you! But I believe it is important to be liked by our teachers and to have a lasting impression on them…especially when they check our answer sheets!
(2) Obedience is a virtue:
I don’t think so….but unfortunately at our school it is. Until and unless obedience dwells from the core of our own hearts, I cannot call it a virtue….but I may be wrong!
(3) People are not malicious but they become so because of bad experiences or circumstances:
Not everyone but yes, some people are a bit malicious. I do not know if it is due to bad experiences or circumstances but yes, such people are not bad in any way but a little less good than the other angels!
(4) Education broadens our view and makes people more humane:
Education of course broadens our view and teaches us the worldly vice but at the end it all depends upon us and upon what we want to derive from our education!
(5) People who have no money troubles are happier:
Money is not the only trouble in life and there are many other problems that a man can face. Look at me….I don’t have any money troubles (Thanks to my parents) but I can not say I am completely happy. I have lots of troubles like school, studies etc….I won’t say they are major problems but you can count them in my ‘troubles’!
(6) As people get older they get wiser:
I can not say so as I haven’t grown much old yet but I do believe that as we get older, we get much more experienced and experience makes a man wiser, they say. (Old is Gold!)
(7) You can live on love and fresh air:
I have no idea about you all, but I can not. What about my chocolates, ice-creams, books, school……. I sure can’t live without these things alone!
(8) There is a celestial guardian angel looking after each one of us:
I believe in this. There is some great power up there to look after each one of us….and He is especially relevant during my examinations!
(9) All living beings reincarnate:
I can only tell you this if I do…….but I do not believe in this!
(10) Heaven and Hell are places you go to after death.
Hey…this is getting stranger…. why think about death when you are still alive? I am happy with my life so I have never thought about this! Sorry….
The Second
The second one is from the chess lover Nikita at Chessalee and a bit unusual tag too. According to the tag, all I have got to do is to pick a book lying nearest to me and open to page 123 of the book and copy down lines 6, 7 and 8.
I have recently finished reading the book ‘Deception Point’ by Dan Brown. It is a fabulous book and fun to read. I’m in awe of Dan Brown about how much courage he has to write and publish this novel! Anyways….. Page 123, lines 6, 7 and 8:
Sexton felt an anger simmering. Now Tench was putting words in his mouth. He tried to counter but Tench was already talking.
“So you’re saying, Senator, for the record, that you would do away with the agency that put men on the moon?”
“I’m saying that the space race is over! Times have changed. NASA no longer plays a critical role in the lives of everyday Americans and yet we continue to fund them as though they do.”

I'm glad you liked it...by the way, those answers to serious questions were not that serious :D
Dear Meghna:
I hope you do well on your final exams; somehow, I have the feeling that you will do more than well!
I remembered you saying that you liked 'butterflies' so, if you haven't seen my post on butterflies it is here, if you wish to take a break from your studies:
http://my2cents4theday.blogspot.com/2008/01/pics-4-day-butterfly-garden_23.html
I was just wondering how many grades they have in India? Here in Canada they can go up to 13 (not all provinces though) and then it's off to college or university, or as I prefer it in German, 'Universitat'.
Again, best of luck with your studies and exames.
( :O)
Hi Don,
Thanks for the good wishes and I really hope your sixth sense stands right for me!
It would be rejuvenating for me to see the post about the butterflies. I'll see them soon! Thanks...
In India we have classes until 12th grade and then we join college!
