Sounds like a tagline from a product ad? Well...its not....One of my friend, threw a challenge.... Challenge was simple....atleast what I thought at that time...
I had to think of something other than family friends and work for 10 mins at a strech....Sounds simple right?
I felt....aah anytime possible!
I was a little drowned in my work when this challenge was thrown.....when I was returning back home, I thought of it, and gave it a try.....infact many tries :-)
Topic chosen : ShahRukh Khan......why? just like that....
ShahRukh seems to be such a sweet guy.....there is something in him that makes me watch his movies.....I know there are many who like his movies like me....and there are some like my husband who just hate him....aaahh....aaah....no family member to be thought of!!!!!!
Ok no problem....hotha hai....will try after sometime....
Topic chosen : Cricket.....why? hee hee even i dont know...
Just to make it clear..... it wasnt that I had to choose a topic and think about it for 10 mins...i just chose them so that I dont get distracted.....
Ya cricket.....hmm Men in Blue .. Sachin, Sourav, Dravid, Kumble, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sehwaag, Ishanth Sharma, Uthappa, Kapil Dev, Sidhu, Azaruddin, Mongia, Jadeja, ( I looked at my watch....damn....its just around 15 seconds!!!...Ritha....cmon you can do it!) hmmm Javagal Srinath, Ravi Shastri, gavaskar and ofcourse his son Jr.Gavaskar....his name....hmm... anyways...then....Irfan Pathan, Joginder Sharma, hmm.....Harbhajan ofcourse! and....... who else who else? some more names please.....arre.........whats wrong with me? Am I tensed? ( I think I am desperate to win this challenge!) hmm.....ok let me shift to Aussie team..... Ponting, Gilchrist, Symonds...... "Tan Tan Tananana Tan Tan......taaaanananana naaaaa......." my cell ringing ofcourse....and the call from office...."Hey Ritha, I have overwritten the file in LAN by mistake, do you have its earlier copy with you?".....I felt like 'eeeeeeeeh', yes ofcourse for the challenge being uncomplete.....and yes I did have the earlier version of the file with me.....so.......
Huh....So now? I am going to give it another try....yes and this time with my cell switched OFF....
And this time, believe me, I said NO TOPICS...let me think with the flow.....its just 10 mins after all.....
Pets at home, I have heard are real stress busters...... no no....something is running in the back of my mind....let me start again....
Relaxed for a few more mins and....
When I am free, I am almost always in front of the TV...... my writing habit has like kind of rusted.... I used to read so many books some time back, and now I am all the time hooked on to television......... and the chain of thought went of for a long time...and yes I did NOT think of family, friends or work in between at all......just glanced at my watch to check how much more time to win....and I was all smiles when I saw that I had completed 9 mins 5 secs......gooooood goooooood... so now I can say Arun that I did it!!! Arun by the way, is the friend who asked me to try this challenge.....
So........................................................
I will keep trying....... this is an interesting one for sure...... though for little over 9 mins, it really acted like a stress buster for me...thanks for this Arun!
And others....why not give it a try too?
