Yesterday evening, during class we were dissecting a story where the main character was afflicted with a fatal disease. The story was as much about him as his best friend. In the midst of the discussion, the teacher asked us -- as a means of getting into the skin of the character -- , "If you knew that you had only one month to live, what would be your story? What story of your life would you like people to remember?"
I know what my story will be. Do you know yours? Care to share it?

Interesting.
As Aqui said, why don't you start with yours? we shall follow.
my story !!!
i will write it soon... very very soon !!!
Lots of them. Care to publish them?
@ Aqui and Richa
I will tell my story. But later. First I asked you, the readers of my blog.
@ Om
No one's asking for the whole life history! Write your most defining story...it could be a one-liner if you choose to make it so.
@ Rohit
Yes.
well to seriously say the truth....i dont know.....i havent ever thought abt it........but if i have to say something...i wud just say that i was there for my near and dear ones....when they needed me...wehther it was family or friends..........just a simple wish.. :)
Just one thing that I want people to remember about me.
Everytime it has been believed that I cannot succeed at something, I've succeeded, and done it better than most. And I'm proud of that.
My story
hmm..
Story of a dreamer ..who lives in neverland ..never likes to believe on the practical aspect of world ..cry in the shower so that cant see the tears ..wish to walk on sky ..truely unbelievable ..but still learning to live here ..
I don't know what my story would be but i know that i would want people to remember me for my principles and my energy(you know what kind of energy i'm talking about,right?).
I have no 'defining story' of my life, like you have told Om. I am only interested in your story like all others reading your blog.
We'd have to talk about it. You know, finances and jazz.
:D
so u delete the comments huh? wasn't up to ur standard?
@ D
That's nice and simple. I am sure this will be the case. Tathastu.
@ Swetank
Hmm...interesting. Enigmatic actually. Care to illustrate by giving one example?
@ Mayuri
Your one month plan sounds similar to mine. Kudos. A case of great minds think alike eh?
@ Chitrangada
I loved the "wish to walk on sky" part. I truly wish we could do that.
@ BASTM
Totally unsure about what kind of energy you talking about here. I need to be enlightened asap.
@ Butterfly
Not fair. I WANT to know YOUR story first.
@ Rohit
Pehle humein humari regular baaton se phursat to mile. Google talk rocks! Lagta hai Gurgaon mein apne balcony mein khade hokar tere se baat kar rahi hoon. Jaise pehle karti thi.
@ Anonymous
No, I dont delete comments. Never ever. And secondly, don't be so scared of me. If you want to accuse me of something do so using your own real identity. Anonymous and petrified people are really, to use your own words, not "up to my standard".
Yeah, and I was as usual in my room :P
Aaah. I knew it would be a smart reply.
Pfft to anonymous buggers :|
one line two line one word two word pata nai...
par ek kahani zaroor hai...kahin na kahin !!!
@ Rohit
:D
@ Mayuri
The story of my life that I would like everyone to remember me by would be "she loved life enough to blow up every single penny she had ever earned to chase a dream".
@ Prashant
Wohi kahani sunne ke liye to hum intezar kar rahen hain.
hey i know i am late (but the point other than that i am here finally is that when was i ever on time?? ahem... you have had to experience sorry instances of this same ummmmm persnickety punctuality disorder in cal... still very sorry abt those times!) anyways how could i deny the world of some precious pearls of wisdom!!
i dont think i am the sort of person anybody would remember after i am gone... i mean it's happened that i have gone back 5 mins later to talk to someone newly initiated to the wonders of keka and had to face glazed look of the who-r-u-aasman-se-tapka-and-khajoor-me-latka types....
with that front covered, i guess that the month would be spent in more egotistical pursuits... and of course world peace like every good little beauty queen wannabe!!
jokes aside- i think i would like to visit all the people who made a world of difference to me just by being what they are, i consider myself truly lucky for knowing some of the most amazing folks on earth!
and i want to recapture every single instance of touch, smell, sight and feeling that enthralled me! i might never again experience the thrill of the first kiss but i would love to remember the instance and the rush that you feel in the pit of yr stomach unique to that only other person in the whole world! or take that early morning walk through the mall and beyond alone with just yr camera and the blue mountains for company in darjeeling or see the sunset touch the pure white foam of the seas at puri... or just listening to music on a rainy day with yr best pal for company!
there are other more mundane pursuits - like i would only have breakfasts and brunches at all meal times (see i LOVE the concept of breakfast so much more than any other meal...)- and unlimited chocolates and green tea and nirula's double chocolate chip ice cream at least once a day....
and watch all my favourite movies in bed under 3 layers of blankets (man this would be tough if i had to die in like may or june!!) with popcorn and a buddy's shoulder to snooze on if the need should arise... and i would like my parents and pesky sis to know that even and in spite of my evil temper, i truly love them to bits! finally all said and done, i would like a quiet corner and my cellphone (on mute) and just sleep!
did i say too much?
@ Mayuri
Thanks for making me do it.
@ Keka
What a comment! It has this "let me sweep you off your feet" feel to it. I love it, I love it, I love it! This is the reason why you are one of my most favorite readers. And why your feedback makes such a difference.
I am just not sure which part I love the most...your humour, or is it your ability to think of so many fun things to do in the last month...all of which fit into my idea of pure ecstacy...except the sleep one that is. I could literally feel the bit about the first kiss, and see very clearly the Puri beach and the white foam in its waters. When you make your readers feel something this vividly, lady, you are an author! Get yourself a blog. You are one blogger-waiting-in-the-wings I am DYING to read. Once again, lovely comment. Kirrin Island was honored to have you.
@ Keka
Your first post could be on the "all the people who made a world of difference to" you.
off the top of my head. i would say party every night and hang with friends and family in the day.. i guess and maybe make up for all the crap i have given people.
No I got it shift to Goa with all my friends and family and spend my last bits of life there with everyone i love and then get everyone a tattoo of my face on thier ass so they will always know i am a-round. that is it live life kingsize.
lol now that was random but it would be like that for sure.
@ Vir
Tattoo on the ass? Err...well, as long as it works for you and your near and dear ones. :D
My sympathies for Angat and Sujlana.
hahahahhaha yea man .....
hey!! thanks for the encouragement!!
but i LACK direly in the quality of sustainability... :-(
let's see!!
and YOU are on my list!!
