If you looked back on your life, what would you remember ?
Has this thought ever crossed your mind ? Interesting question isn't it ? What if I add to it by asking what would be the first thing that would come to your mind ?
First of all it is difficult to imagine a situation which will compel you to look back into your life. Even if you do your subconscious mind takes you into a world of your own; you tend to think what has been in your mind for a while.
Think of a situation where your life is coming to an end. When you now go into a flashback mode what will you remember ?
I am giving you a few options. I hope I will get an answer to this question.
1)Family ( any member in particular )
2)Better Half / spouse / girlfriend / boyfriend
3)Your corporate powerplays / walk up the corporate ladder
4)any life changing incident ( do describe the incident )
5)your favourite possession
6)money you earned
7)any regrets
8)unfulfilled dreams
9)food
10)Others....please specify
I hope you will take some time off from your busy schedule and answer this question. Please leave a comment how do you want to Reclaim Your Life.
I will update this post as and when I get comments.

Random......
Random - what does this word mean ?
According to http://www.dictionary.com "random" means 'proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern'. So I can also call it aimless.
What does "blog" mean ? Dictionary says 'an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log'. The word chronological determines that it is an arrangement / order of events. My personal idea was that a blog is an online diary where you can opine.
Now you must be thinking what is the context; or is this one of my other "DADA-isms" - not really.
I have started blogging recently and am an ardent follower of a few blogs ( written by my teachers, friends and relatives ).
Coincidentally, three of them who are regular bloggers have the name "RANDOM" attached to their blogs. I presume its coincidence as they created their blogs without each others' influence.
What initially baffled me was how the three of the "very-recent" bloggers had the random keyword in their blog. But as I kept on pondering I started getting into micro-management. "How can a blog be random ?" was the first question that came to my mind. If you arrange your assorted thoughts what you get is a coherent idea. Of all the blogs I have read, none seemed aimless; in fact they all portrayed the perception of the author. When you tend to blog what do you do - do you think of the title first and then describe it, or do you get a chain of thoughts and you tend to confine it within certain boundaries to suit your opinion. But, in both the cases you are trying to capture your thoughts and defining them into your perception.
"Randomness" is endless, so how do you define your chain of thoughts as random........is a question I am still asking myself.
Have my "random thoughts" compelled me to play a "random stroke" ? Whatever it was it will certainly create some "random noise"..........
