Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

One of the best things you would have ever listened to-






Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 99...

Wear Sunscreen

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experienceI will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years youll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you cant grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.Youre not as fat as you imagine.

Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you

Sing

Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts, dont put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Dont waste your time on jealousy; sometimes youre ahead, sometimes youre behindthe race is long, and in the end, its only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Dont feel guilty if you dont know what you want to do with your lifethe most interesting people I know didnt know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds know still dont.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, youll miss them when theyre gone.

Maybe youll marry, maybe you wont, maybe youll have children, maybe you wont, maybe youll divorce at 40, maybe youll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversarywhat ever you do, dont congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either your choices are half chance, so are everybody elses. Enjoy your body, use it every way you candont be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, its the greatest instrument youll ever own..

Danceeven if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you dont follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when theyll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do youll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Dont expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Dont mess too much with your hair, or by the time its 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen...

Is your timeline slowly being invaded by self proclaimed smartasses and offensive jerks ? Easy-Peasy= Unfollow button is your savior!

Twitter is widely acknowledged as the dream classroom you'd want to be in, in contrast to facebook where your real classroom lies..But again i did this stupid mistake of following a few people who are(wrongly) certified as geniuses/critics/nice conversationalists..Two days now and Iam sick of their bl**dy negativity..
Why this in the dream place ??

As if the streets dont carry such people on them anymore ! Wait a minute...There are jerks out there right ??? or has everybody to the last of their clan been transported to BigBoss/Brother..MTV Splits whatever ???

Happy returns-every year !

When i was a kid i couldnt sleep for three reasons-
1.If i hadnt done my assignments properly for the next day's classes
2.If i had to wake up early to go on some trip
3.If its my birthday tomorrow.
Lets now talk about the 3rd reason in detail(yes i started taking my textbook reading quite seriously):-
The cake cutting ceremony would take place in my garden or in the living room if the monsoons arrived on time..Anywhere was ok with me..I get to be the star of the evening anyway :D

It was always a chocolate cake for me before butterscotch stole my moms heart :D then she inflicted it upon me..But now iam back to chocolate.
Talking about cakes.,I secretly eat sponge cakes..and yes anyday i prefer them over pastries but since thats not acceptable to many of my friends,on my birthdays-Pastry it is..They started getting the cakes themselves..so its not like i get to complain about compromising! And what flavor stopped bothering me as cakes apparently are not for eating(slurrp..!)but for rubbing over the face!
A chocolate facepack..get that ?

My birthday table would classically consist of a Cake(the progressive shapes were-Rectangle:Square:Circle:MickeyMouse:Heart:Circle),a tray full of toffees..Balloons overhead filled with colorful thermo balls and they harldy would burst on the exact moment of the cake cutting and birthday song starting..still i would automatically get startled when that happened ;0
Party caps,Snow sprays,Magic candles came in for the later birthdays.

The gifts started changing too..It was mostly enveloped money given by auntys and uncles when i was really small..then came the teddybears and other stuffed toys.
Now its uber costly stuff that i dont want cos they hardly match with my taste..And nobody gives me a greeting card(with handwritten/drawn messages inside) but yes i still get e-cards !
Now its the buzz,the midnight phone calls and unexpected visits that keep me from sleeping and the kiddish excitement is not the only reason now that was there when i was a..kid..

anyhoooooo..the excitement doesnt die even if its your 12th birthday or 22nd ! Its still your day !
YAYYYYYY its my birthday tomorrow :D
