Why?
'cuz when someone asks me what my most favorite memories are... what comes to mind has nothing to do with revival of facts like 1947 being the year India got independence or something equally mundane. In fact, what comes to mind is along the lines of...
Something as mischievous like...making a teacher cry, not 'cuz of my answer sheet but 'cuz we pelted her with chalk pieces in class.. or letting her sit on a chair covered with ink or having a "mud cake" fight... or using the school's paint reserve, not on the required model or stage, but on US!!
Something as touching..like the time I made a fool out of myself in front of my first crush and the elation I felt when I found he liked me too. My first love, my first breakup..
Family get togethers.. playing pranks on the guests...being grounded for them later, too.
Getting together with friends and creating a mayhem... throwing popcorn on couples in the theatre.. singing on the top of our voices, in the middle of the road... meeting up for coffee.. confessions... sitting on the beach till 10 in the night, before an exam :)
Or the time I slapped guy for the first time... aah! The satisfaction... Something as easy as surprising friends on their birthdays and something as crazy as skipping classes, approaching strangers... Something as simple as calling friends, who've had to move away, just to say hi..
... There's a whole lot of memories. Some pleasant and others harsh. Yet, all equally important. The many many lasts and the many many firsts... and the many many in betweens too..They play a really big role in making a person. And many a time, breaking a person.
What's your most favorite memory?
Indeed, you spent a quality time enjoying life...
Thats the way it should be.
Keep Writing, I will always be around for a comment.
Lovely post... too true- your memories make you who you are

my fondest memory is about the time i was in 1st Std. and was doing some Naga dance on a winter evening with nothing but a long cloth wrapped around myself... brrr it was cold.

Preetika sayin' "1942 was when India got her Independence" for sensationalism. Or was it a typo? 2 and 7 are pretty far anywhere on a keyboard or dialpad........
you were deliberately doing that right?
1942 year of Independence?
Woman! Indian! Good woman! Smart woman!
Why commit sacrilege?

Thanx for changin' it. Not that it was influencing the history of the nation in any way, but was glaring enof to spoil a post written in good taste. Jus' cudn't stand "Independence day" switch places with "A love Story"
@d'pak: typo.. typo..TYPO!! :)
@bharat: i wudnt want to change it to a "a love story" either.
thanks for visitng guys!
