A world waiting to be explored

25 things worth experiencing

Thoughts are something that we can't control, I mean some can, most can't. And I believe that is the way it should be. The flow of thoughts should not be hindered, controlled and framed. Weird though they may be, but when we think about them while retrospecting, they paste smiles on our faces. Here are a few which I am sure many of us, if not all, would have been through--
  1. Looking at the blackboard with all the focus in the world, the important fact here is, this happens only while writing an exam.
  2. Thinking about how you acted in a particular situation and re-iterating the whole scene in front of yourself.
  3. Setting the most irritating song as your alarm tone to serve the purpose of waking us up. Alas! Everything fails.
  4. Once read a friend's personal SMS and acted as if you know nothing about that issue when he was telling us about the same.
  5. Pursued a course of action knowing that you were wrong but would be severely criticized if confessed the same.
  6. A stranger who won your heart by a gesture as small as a smile.
  7. Calculated love compatibility with your love interest using the Kundli Software for windows. I am sure many of us have done this.
  8. Liked your own comment/status message/photo just to increase the number of likes on the same. C'MON!!! Confess it at least!
  9. Felt you are in Love, just beacuse you liked a girl more than other girls. 
  10. Lied about your friends also getting less marks to escape the wrath of parents.
  11. In between an exam, you were thinking of a movie scene you saw just a few days before the exam. Don't blame yourself, that happens!
  12. Told a friend to call at your place when you aren't at home and convince your parents to let you go for an outing.
  13. Searched how to delete history of your internet browsing. You naughty little grown-ups!
  14. Thought reality shows were all real when they first appeared on T.V. Even voted for your favourite participant to win. I know some might still be doing it thinking how can reality shows be framed. 
  15. Still think that Osama bin Laden is alive.
  16. Thought of yourself as a hero and your (to be or would be) girlfriend as a heroine of the movie you love the most.
  17. Made an estimate about the price of a house or a car with an ever-increasing confidence when you had no idea about it's price, just to look and to be perceived smart and knowledgeable.
  18. At one point of time, thought nobody in the world loves you.
  19. Still wonder how radio jockeys have all the songs available with them.
  20. Loved a movie that everyone else hated.
  21. Are perceived smarter by your parents and other relatives than you actually are. Actually, perceived exactly opposite of what you are outside.
  22. Watched the entire Indian innings believing your whims that a wicket might fall if you got up your seat.
  23. Discovered a hidden talent in you by drawing sketches at the end of your notebook during boring-till-death lectures.
  24. Thought that Earth being spherical in shape is a farce, and people at the lower end of the sphere would fall of it.
  25. Imagined life to be like it was shown in the famous cartoon "The Jetsons".
The compilation of this list goes on and on as long as our thoughts continue to flow. Don't obstruct them, don't control them. They are structures that ways, free as a bird. 
These are just 25 penned down here. Feel free to add more, and enjoy the "things worth experiencing" for these are the things we once went through or would come across.
