so its gotta be done 😉 Sunday afternoons are certainly not a good time to write posts but when one has committed themselves to NaBloPoMo and forgotten to schedule a post for Sunday there hardly seems any other option…
The house right now is quite, very quite…. All are sleeping after a delicious brunch of beer and home made chole bhatures… (I must tell u guys I resisted both.. had chole and roti instead of bhatura and had a vodka with tender coconut water instead of beer… so calories saved at both friends)…. And I am flying in air because the friends I had and N told me that these are probably one of the best chola bhaturas they ever had in Bangalore 😉 thats something isn’t 😀
So all of them are sleeping and I am sitting here thinking what in the post… but then isn’t this a post in itself 😉 lol i am blaberring under the effect of vodka I guess 😉
So let me reply to the prompt that I liked at NaBloPoMo site…
If you could go back in time and meet your 16-year-old self, what three things would you tell yourself?
- Parents are not always wrong… I mean seriously at 16 I think I was a rebel, I would like to think all 16 yr old are and at that particular time whatever parents say without even giving it a second thought is labelled as wrong but now when I am 33 I look back and realise that probably they were right sometimes 😉 ok ok I know I am still not admitting always
- Respect and take care of your body…. keep in shape, dont abuse it too much… A little care at that age will go a long long long way, the physical body is something that will be with till you die and you would not want your dreams to fall apart because your physical condition doesn’t allow it
- Don’t be afraid to love… ofcourse you might get hurt but later in life I am sure it will one of the fondest memories you will have
So go on tell me what are the three things you will say to your 16 yr old… leave a comment do a post…
Ok I have a brainwave… since all of us are struggling with posts let me tag you guys… all u guys doing NaBloPoMo are tagged… do take this up and anyone else who wants to is most welcome too 😀
The time spending studying for exams could have been spent playing cricket or football. And today could have been a player and retired happily 🙂
oh yes but very few people say that
Beautiful post Monika 😀
loved all three of them….so very true, and we so often realize them all much later in life 🙂
thanks dear glad u liked it
would have studied more seriously …. enjoyed more the places i have been to … n off course (agree with u ) taking care of one self …. not to waste time on daydreaming n … bla..bla bla … somethings can’t be changed but for many things it’s never too late to realise them … n get it right !!
NaBloPoMo… or whatever is killing my blog reader…
I’ve had so much beer recently but the thought of having it on a Sunday afternoon with the best Chole Bhature in Bangalore makes me want some more… again 😀 slurp :DD
Ooh! Beer! Vodka! 😀
slowly read past those 2!! very distracting – them chole baturas as well!! 😉
I would also say – “Don’t take life so seriously” as well to my 16 yr old self! 😀
oh yes very imp one that
i so agree with your first point monu..i was a good daughter but still there were these insistances when i fought my mom and no i know i shouldnt have..
Excellent post, Mon! I would most certainly give the first advice to my 16-year old self too. Thats such a sensitive phase of your life, isnt it when you just dont want to acknowledge your parents’ advises and would rather have your impulsive mind take over you.
The first advice is very apt Mons! And when u hv Chole in the post, hw cn u expect me to comment on something else .. slurp 😉
What! I am tagged 😛 He he thanks Mons 😉
Those 3 points are the best and the truth. 🙂
BTW, chole baturas for me, when I come to Blore…I’ve just started hopping…don’t know when I’ll reach there. 🙂
Perfect three..Sigh… I know that first one is very much true..
I totally agree with you on 1st & 2nd Points 🙂
Glad we all are keeping up with NaBloPoMo so well 🙂
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ‘THREE THINGS’ TO 16-YEAR OLD. I wish I knew this when I was that age. Would have changed my life infinitely 🙂
Wow! What a wonderful combination…vodka and coconut water. See, this is what I observed very keenly in the entire post 😀
