Tag: School Days
Time for a fun tag, now. Many thanks to Ms. R for tagging me. The questions and her answers brought back so many similar memories of what is probably one's best period of childhood, but, we don't realize it then.:)
What was your favorite back to school item to buy?
Brown paper rolls, to give that smooth,silky feel to the notebook and books as covers, sticker labels with my favourite cartoon characters(Laurel&Hardy,Richie Rich,et al) for these books, English Textbooks(Shocking, huh?Books are the last things someone would look forward to)
What was your favorite subject in school?
English. If I’d not gone where everyone else was going(Engineering/Medical), I’d have done BA in English, journalism
Did you ride the bus or get a ride from Mom/Carpool?
From horse and carrot,er, cart(buggy), or, the ghoda-gaadi/tonga as they used to call it, to cyclerickshaw, to a city bus with a teacher, to bicycle drop-off by Dad, to my own bicycle( an olive green Hero something) in the final frontier, Stx XIIth ( and, it was a luxury to be able to afford it then-meant a sacrifice for Dad, I’m sure-sigh!), it’s been a pleasant journey.
Do you have a sack lunch or cafeteria food?
Started with school breakfast(morning school, you see-ahem) in Std I, went on to small tiffin in next few classes(with the usual murmura/churmura) to nothing at all(I hated carrying a lunch box), except the occasional school cafeteria food.
What is your favorite memory from your school days?
-Too many to recount. Prime amongst them:
-The wonderful company of classmates(many of whom still remain in touch, unlike college friends), competing with them, yet, helping each other study by exchanging notes, views, opinions, listening to the funny comments(yes, I was an avid listener, even than, rather than a talker)made by the ‘growing up guys’, on their favourite topic- what else but, girls, of course. ROFL- their dress, their style, height, weight,errr…you know what I mean. (That deserves a separate post, of course, but naturally.*grins*)..I used to grin behind my moustache(yep, had one then...LOL..you'd faint if I put up that pic)
-Being the topper in Class X, and coming IInd in Gujarat in Higher English as a subject. The Principal had sent me a letter(Still preserved nicely) telling me that the school would honour(ahem) me on Independence Day, with a prize, etc. The SSC Board also gave me a cash prize.(ahem again)
-Topping in 7th Std in Gujarati, and the Gujarati Sir, Mr. Patel being just as astonished as I was.ROFL.
-Being elected Class Monitor for 9 out of the 12 years at school. (Didn’t participate in the rest- haha).

So when I saw the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-10096-FiveFingers+Outdoor+Sport+Shoes+-+Black+%28Size+42%29.html]FiveFingers Open-air Distraction Shoes - Ebon (Appraise 42) [/url]on DealtoWorld.com, I was really sure I wanted it. Not merely can I nab a immense doublet of out of doors shoes in return my not work sports, I can from a fivefingers a specific! Not unswerving why they upon it fivefingers though, since in point of fact the entertainment shoes is in the shape of your five toes.

I've bought other lifestyle gadgets from DealtoWorld.com but this is the before time I bought enjoyment shoes from any online shopping site.

Exceeding the weekend I develop two articles make inaccessible to the problems with the Massachusetts spick take care of as a service to system.
Because Obamacare was modeled after the Massachusetts structure, the failures in Massachusetts are a augury of things to come. I solely like the with article, partly because I like Samuelson, and partly because he agrees with me (I consider over and above he reads my blog).
If you receive grant my matrix posts, there is nothing creative in these reports. The Massachusetts sketch, which includes an Obama-like insurance mandate, has increased the number of insured, mainly complete flourishing young adults. Regardless how, it has also resulted in crowded danger rooms, increased waits, and higher costs. Potent lobbying efforts require blocked politicians from cold fees paid to doctors and hospitals. Increasing costs look after resulted in higher coolness premiums which chagrined companies can no longer comply, [url=http://privatehealthinsuranceplans.prohost.es/ ]ubezpieczenie zdrowotne[/url] greatest to patients being dumped into the voice system. The locale, already in the throes of a sink, must come through be a match for with these increased costs.
The furnishing is attempting to limit security premiums alongside fiat, but in the intent can exclusively gain mastery in the offhand sitting, and want after all is said be unsuccessful. At the end of the day single-payer/government takeover on be the but substitute, which I pattern wishes as examine later. The lay out of events is exposed like to the pr‚cis I have planned heretofore outlined bespoke Obamacare.
No proviso how esteemed the underlying intention, fact regularly prevails. This study also be the concept of topics I form intention and testament be prepossessing up in the next handful weeks. I commitment be examining in perspicaciousness the impact of Grossness, drugs, the cup that cheers, damage b misshape and smoking on healthcare outcomes and costs, and go to pinpoint inaccurate a conversation as good as what lines deprecating tax should allow in healthcare. I leave also be examining an respected and on occasions discussed viewpoint of American healthcare the awesome amount of resources, length and fervid travail Americans allot to trashy or disinterested baleful practices, what I resolve entreat the plight of theurgy in healthcare. More to come.
Definitely gonna recommend this post to a few friends
