Well, not a very nice thought to start the New Year with, but still thought we'd go through this - If you were given just a day to live, what is it that you would want to do, or finish?
I thought of what some of my iLand friends might do, if they were given a day to live! This is a humble, humourous attempt to capture my understanding of my friends(no offence meant!) -
Alphabetical listing
Amit - would write an optimistic poem named - "jashn-e-maut" - celebrating his last day!
Ash - would write a blog for a cause, would read all the palms she could lay her hands on, would gather all her friends and hop off for a party for the rest of the day!
Monu - Would hook the cell phone on to his ears and speak as much as he can, alternately to Rajesh, Kalpana, Anjini and me. (Note : wouldn't put the phone down even while munching his breakfast, lunch or dinner)
Nischal - would invest all his money on game boxes(was that PS4? or PS3? or is there a PS5 now?) and die while saving some skimpily clad virtual babe
Rajesh - Would send an SMS on "10 things you could do if you had just a day to live"(his own inventions) to all the friends on his phone book
Vishal - Would watch the old telecasts of all football matches
Warm Sunshine - would go hunting for a cow, to have the last fight!
Wise Donkey - Would kill his boss and spend the rest of the day celebrating
Following is a similar list for my friends at work(who insisted I include this just so that they can see their names "online", when they google themselves!)
Chetan - Hmmm...he would call me up to have a last fight with a faint hope that he might win...or maybe with the hope that I would be kind enough to lose, considering its his last day.
Hari - He would propose to every girl that passes him!
Karthik - His last day, in my opinion wouldn't be any different from all other days of his'. He would wake up, have his brunch, drink his coffee and THEN brush his teeth and probably log on to orkut and change his profile to display the sun or the moon or the stars!
Mangu - He would treat all his friends to a sumptous lunch and spend all the money he has ever had on gifts for them! (Mangu, don't blame me if you start getting mails asking when you are..er...going!)
Navmurth - He would call for a meeting with all his friends and give them one last lecture on - "what to do if you have one last day to live"
Nitin - Hmmmm...tough one, but I guess he would quickly submit his resignation to the IT industry and file a patent on some physics experiment!
Sanjeev - He would buy a new shirt and actually wear it. Period.
Soumya - She would buy an overlarge pickle bottle and lick every one of the pickles in it
Uma - She would send a mail that she is WFHing and cook as much as she can - jowar rotis, badnekayi palya, hollige, yellu unde, besan laddooo...sllllurrrrppp...can't write more, I am drooling all over my laptop
Last, but not the least, Yours Truly - Hey wait! What do YOU think I'd do if I had just a day to live? (and don't say, I'd write a blog on what to do if I had just a day to live. That would be a cliched answer!)
I apologise to all other friends that I haven't covered in this blog since I haven't had a chance to know them personally, yet!
Wish you all a very Happy, peaceful, prosperous and a satisfying New Year, friends! And remember - live each day, as if it were your last - that's probably when you would get to do all that you always wanted to do! (but don't go by what I have listed above, though!)
