Blog-A-Time-Machine

This novel blogging tag originally came from Emily Barton and to me through the ever innovative Sweta.

It’s basically an imaginary time travel and what I would do if I meet a younger me.

Rules:
1. Depending on your age, go back 10, 15, 20, or even more years.
2. Tell us how many years back you have traveled.
3. Pretend you have met yourself during that era, and tell us where you are.
4. You only have one "date" with this former self.
5. Answer the questions.


I have decided to go back to my 12th std. Thank Goodness I only have one date, and do not have to live through all of it again!

She is confused and is not in very good company. Has serious self esteem issues and is being pushed all over by her new girlfriend. Moreover the once brilliant girl, has lost her grip, and is completely unable to focus on any strategy to crack her entrance exams. Messy! Phew!

1. Would your younger self recognize you when you first meet?

She might freak out and probably have a heartattack, but yes she would .

2. Would she be surprised to discover what you are doing job wise?

Very much. She doesn’t think that much about her future outside of Kerala, doesn’t even know glam jobs like mine exist. She would be very glad and surprised.

3. What piece of fashion advice would you give her?

The fashion disaster that she was!
That shampoo DOESN'T ruin your hair all that much. So please use one.
That people will get used to any change of looks she undergoes, so be experimental.Get that haircut she always wanted.
That cotton is classy

But then again most of such decisions are not really upto her at that time.

4. What do you think she is most going to want to know?

Her entrance results.

5. How would you answer her question?

That just cause it was predicted by some random person, she is not going to become a doctor.
I will definitely share the strategy to crack the entrance exam. I am not sure if she will be able to decipher it, though.

6. What would probably be the best thing to tell her?

That her complexion/skin will become way much better.
That she will not always remain the ugly duckling or the second fiddle.
That our mother will trust her soon.
That she should expect wonderful things in her life, and not just worry about the worst outcome.

7. What is something that you probably wouldn't tell her?

Nothing actually. Anything she might know about her future will cheer her up.

8. What do you think will most surprise her about you?

That I have a good dressing sense and know to use an eyeliner.
That I get along with our mother.
That I am confident speaking to the opposite gender.
That I speak good English.
That I stay in a very unflattering room and have been staying there for four years.
That I stay alone, and have no qualms eating,shopping or even watching a movie alone
That I actually shop for home wear.


8. What do you think will least surprise her?

That I don’t travel long distance in a bus,and still hate the travel to Thodupuzha*(my grandparents home).
That I still write crazy journals in pink books

9. At this point in your life, would you like to run into "you" from the future?

I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprises, and the wonderful things life has to offer me, so No!

I do not have that many people to tag. Consider yourself tagged if you are reading, and find this an interesting topic!
