There are any number of marvellous life forms that have made water their world to live in. But, for me there is nothing more elegant than a fish in water. Even the horrible white shark, with its terrible reputation, is elegance itself, when it swims around. I will not want to be such a huge fish. I would like to be small minnow, flashing its silvery scales as it darts about in the sunlit waters. It is not a colorful fish, and it occupies a lowly place in the hierarchy of fishes. But for all that it is a successful fish. That is what one wants in life, is it not, to be a success? Well, on second thoughts, I might want to be dolphin! They seem to have such fun, and live their lives exuberantly!  And they are very intelligent too. May be I will spend my first year under water as a minnow, and then make a giant evolutionary leap and spend the next year as a dolphin! It would be a sad day indeed when I shall have to ‘revert’ to being just an ordinary human being!!

My idea of heaven is not one where one sits on cloud, harp in hand and singing away. It would a place where one would reach after ‘doing time’ for not keeping to the laws of life in this world. After one has learnt all the lessons for life, one would find oneself in heaven peacefully, joyfully, and quietly doing things that one longed to do in life but never had the skill to achieve it to perfection. Heaven, for me will be a place where one reaches perfection and is just quietly pleased with it, making others feel that way too. What else can be heaven, for anyone?

I have a very intimate friend. She is very affectionate and she shares everything with me. She likes to spend time with me. Of course she has helped me in many situations in various ways. The only thing which I do not like about her is her bad breath. She is very talkative and has the habit of coming so closer while talking. So when she starts talking I always try to move away from her or turn my face or cover my nose with handkerchief. She talks very impressively and I am a good listener too. I would tell her about this problem and I think she would understand me and agree to consult a dental doctor, so that the reasons for bad breath like gum problems or anything may be diagnosed. There by she can get rid of this problem.

It happened long back during my school days. I was in the examination hall writing the answers. The teacher who was the invigilator went out of the class room for some reason. At that time some of my classmates forced me to give my answer sheets for them to copy. When I hesitated to do so they threatened me to hurt me. I was afraid and gave my answer sheets. They wrote the exam quite well. Somehow the teachers came to know that I helped them in copying. I was all the teacher’s pet in the class. This incident worried me and the teachers as well. Now when I am grown up I feel that I should not have done such an act. Instead I should have advised my friends and offered help in their studies for the rest of the days. This is what I would do if I could go back in time.
