I miss writing. Changes happen sometimes like a lot. I was busy in one of the happiest worlds in the recent past and even now. I wanna write it all but time sometimes time doesn’t permit and so does laziness [grins]. Well, anyway now that I’m back to the writing mode, I wanted to share this very personal experience I’ve had couple of days back when I went to this youth meet I attend every Saturday at a church. After the singing session there’s always a game that’s organized for relaxation before we proceed to hear the preacher preach to the youth. So, games are always fun ain’t they? We were all set, and were divided into four different groups. I was content with the group I was in. Later I was asked to shift to group 3 because there were just a few of them and it needed to be equaled.
I was like ‘Okay never mind game is a game even if you sit with different groups’. The group I joined had like 5 boys and just one girl excluding me. I sat with the girl and we waited for the rules of the game to be told out. The game was all about writing A-Z on a piece of paper and writing down all the things that you have that starts with a specific letter. So, if its ‘A’ then you need to have a thing that starts with that letter. Simple? [Yeah, very simple but I hardly
understood the rules and the game until it began]. At the back of my mind I was wondering ‘oh gosh how do we even find so many things? Like, 26 alphabets and 26 things you’ll need?' Anyway the highest list of things collected by the groups will be given a gift in the end. So, BIG deal [winks].
The paper was given to me, I was asked to write A-Z vertically. Remember this was a team game. I wrote it all down in an awkward handwriting. Then we started discussing about all the things we have. All I had was a wrist band. I could fill the letter B as Band. Then the girl who was with us in the group opens her handbag and starts taking out everything.
A – ATM
B – Band [that’s mine]
C – Cream
D – Deodorant
The game got a lil exciting as we knew we would get the highest number of things from the BAG.
E - Eyeliner
F - Facewash
G - Gold
H - Hair-clip
Dude! Don't underestimate a girls bag huh!
[We definitely didn't find anything with I and J as time was running out we jumped to K]
K - Kerchief
L - Lipgloss
M - Money
N - Napkin
O - Orbit
P - phone [one common thing eh?]
R - Rosery
S - Shoe
T - Thread
U - *blank*
Time was running out and we all looked at her for help. She opens her bag and shows it to me and says -
She - "What else do we need from this?".
Me - WHOA! There are so many things still? :-O *In shock*
She - Yeah *looks happy*
[we proceed with the game]
V - visiting card
W - watch
X - *blank*
Y - Year calendar
Z - Zip [Trust me she allowed a guy to break a zip of her hand bag]
Who do you think won the task?! We? No! The girl with the handbag. Amazing. *Round of applause* woohoo!
A woman's bag is the most expensive thing eh?
[If you're wondering about my handbag, don't wonder I never carried one.]
