July 5, 2015 | Awake & Dreaming

Pause whatever you’re doing, and ask the person nearest you what they’re thinking about (call someone if you have to). Write a post based on it.

I don’t have to ask the person what she is thinking about, since she has been texting me on Whatsapp for a long time this evening. Well this friend & colleague was reading an online article about her favourite sit com – FRIENDS – and there was a quiz at the end. Since she loves FRIENDS as much as I do, she decided to test my knowledge about the show and asked me several questions from the quiz.

I knew them all and in return I asked her a few questions of my own from some episodes. She knew some of them and we joked about the show for a while. I know she is missing the show and having watched some other shows in completion she is missing Friends and wanting to watch it again but discussing episodes & jokes with me, since I love it equally as much as she does, is good fun for her. And it is fun for me to to relive the jokes and act out the scenes to peels of laughter.

So yeah, that’s what my friend is thinking about at the moment. Or atleast at the time I started typing this post.

You’ve been granted the power to predict the future! The catch — each time you use your power, it costs you one day (as in, you’ll live one day less). How would you use this power, if at all?

Why would one not use it? And at the cost of just a day of life less – hell I’m down for it. I would so put this power to good use. For the benefit of the poor and the homeless and the downtrodden and yes even a lot for me. Heck, yeah let me bet high on the winning number, on the outcome of a title winning game and on the horse races and the stock market – and make a shit ton of cash! And retire on the winnings. And move to Las Vegas!

What? I have never been to Vegas. And I want to live in luxury and have women all over me. Strippers and models and actresses. I wanna splash that cash and spend a little more than the best of the rest. I’d place bets on all the games in the casinos, winning the ones with the big money and share that wealth too! So I lose a few days – live life to the fullest while you can. I bet I could live & enjoy 10 lifetimes if I had that power of prediction!
