HELP......I am getting old

I was sitting in the classroom waiting for the teacher to give my 10th Board exam Question Paper, it was a chemistry test paper, the subject I hate the most.....having to remember all the chemical equations, hmm ....in a way I was happy because I was not going to take Science (Group 1 and 2) in my 11th and 12th grade.....I was dying to finish my 12th grade and end up in college, where you can bunk classes, go to movies, need not wear uniforms, its funny how many movies give you wrong information about college.....i realized it 2 days after I entered my college premises....
I bunked the first 2 days of my class and went on the 3rd day, my class teacher asked me to give the leave letter by the end of the class.....so I wrote it and signed it myself and gave it to the teacher. One look at my leave letter and she sent me out of the class!!!! I came out of a school to go to another school....I then wanted to end my college life soon and go to work, because college life sort of got monotonous for me, but still went on to finish my post graduation. 5 yrs later I got a job, and started working....I had a great time but I wanted more out of my life....so I wanted to take the plunge into married life, got married to an engineer and settled down in the US. Now with a kid and 2 yrs more to hit the 30 yr mark, I want to go back to my 10th std public exam hall and start all over again.....

Time turners

I am a BIG fan of the Harry Potter movies and was quite intrigued by the time turner Hermione used in the 3rd movie, the Prisoner of Azkaban. I wish I had something like this just to turn back the clock and change things. I am sure everybody at some point of time or the other wished they had a chance to turn back the clock and modify things a bit.....and if you hadn't thought about it yet, you are really happy with what you are now, hats off to you!!!!

This happened almost 4 yrs back when my marriage was about to take place, My dad was working for State Bank of India, Palani and he took sometime off from work and came to Chennai just for this occasion. But his manager gave him a call and asked him to run some errand there, so he had to go back to Palani 2 weeks before my marriage. A day after he reached Palani, we got a call from his co workers saying he had an epileptic seizure (fits in non medical terms) and has been taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, the medical facilities out there weren't very good, so he was taken to Apollo Hospital in Coimbatore. They were not able to save him and he passed away early the next morning. If only he had this attack when he was at home, we would have taken him immediately to the Apollo hospital in Chennai, and he would have been saved. I just wish I could go back to that time and stopped my dad from going to Palani. If only that had happened, I would have been talking to him now.
So this blog is totally dedicated to him, I miss him so much. I just wish I had shown him how much I loved him when he was there right before me.
