A meme by Malach
OK, I want everyone who reads this to comtemplate trying this. Malach created a meme on the following subject. Write a letter to your thirteen year old self, whatever year that is in. The full rules are in this post, along with my letter back to 1985.
Some of my buckos and WoWees, have already done so, and the results are pretty awesome. Mike's is an awesome read and C.Rag's is one part serious and one part her usual self.
So go for it, and if you remember, I would love you all to link it back to the original post. You can even post here at the WoW.
I am Malach, no longer 13, but sometime act it.

This reminds me of the greatest movie EVER, 13 Going on 30!
This is a really good idea, but it's only been four years since I was 13. Mine would be the usual "make better grades, stay away from the priest, that crab cake you'll eat during junior year is undercooked," etc.
De Pope will do this thing, yes, yes
I can't wait to read the Pope's meme. When he was 13 he was in charge of a concentration camp.
"in charge of a concentration camp."
Or in charge of the little bratwurst roastings.
Dear Chikki,
You probably won't believe this but I am your 17 year old self and the year is 2007. I'm writing to you to tell you a few things about your life. Things that will suck, things that will make you suicidal and finally things to look forward to. (your life isn't that sucky!)
This is going to be a very important year for you. You will discover a passion and a real talent. Believe it or not, you're going to fall in love with acting and become a stage whore for life. Oh, sorry, you probably flinched that that word. Well by the time you're 17 more dirt will be leaving your mouth than you could ever imagine. Your wonderful English teacher is going to black mail you into taking part in the annual day. Fortunately it will not involve dancing. You still can't dance, but love to try during parties. Yes, you go to parties.
The same teacher will also flunk you in your English dictation in the term exams. It's not her fault. You genuinely suck at spellings. WORK AT IT!
Pinocchio is going to die. Cancer kills him. Having said that get him checked for cancer when he starts acting sick. You'll miss him every day and cry yourself to sleep for the next 5 months if you don't
The next year you'll leave Delhi because father gets transfered to Mumbai.
DO NOT LISTEN TO MUM AND SWITCH TO HINDI. Mumbai has French.
On reaching, suicidal point in life number 1.Ignore the feeling. You'll meet some old friends and............. an old enemy. You meet POISON IVY again (brrr!) things start off well, you are both civil to each other for the first couple of days (you're also class mates). Then she'll randomly hit you with some heavy book. Back to square one. Eventually you'll become great friends. Obviously you'll get teased too. can't help that.
BTW, about French? You're going to do exceedingly well in school but terrible in the boards. Take French anyways. You'll make two amazing good friends in class and have a ball of a time.
Class X will be more or less uneventful....except for annual day where you'll end up being dressed as....never mind. Listen to you math teacher (and every other teacher for that matter), you are not bad at studies, you are just LAZY. VERY VERY VERY VERY LAZY. Fine you ignored he rest, but listen to yourself. You'll be in BIG shit if you carry on like you are now. You'll get an 80%. You can easily improve that score if you just submit that history project in time, fix your spellings, handwriting and practice a bit of math.
You'll get sci in Xl despite you atrocious preboard results (76-78%). Don't take it.
Humanities is your calling. It'll mean that you have to separate yourself from your friends in NCS but fuck it. NOFRA loves you and there's always the internet.Anyway, the girl whom you'd be slightly crushing by now will leave by the summer holidays.
Learn to take the bus and join jr. college. Don't worry, it wont' last long, because you'll be back in Sanskriti by the end of the year. ( YAY!)
People will remember you, some of whom you never knew (they'll call you the pink minister/Shylock....and you'll love them for it!). If you do take Humanities like i told you things will go differently. You'll also miss out on Suicidal point number 2.
If you do take sci however, (stupid stupid bitch!) You'll flunk 11th terms and reach 12 through conditional passing. You have a great class teacher! An yeah yeah, it's not ENTIRELY your fault. You missed 2 months of school too. In Xl that A LOT!
Class Xll is going to be uneventful more or less untill the end of the year. ANNUAL DAY! And my GOD were you good! Perhaps if you were more open to people you'd have much more fun than you had. However you had an awesome time anyways. ^_^
So I leave you with some random advice.
1. Work out, go play do any exercise man! You've got a chick figure for god sake! And some girls are jealous of it! >_<
Not that you're a wuss, you'll go to a lot of camps and prove yourself to be stronger than most of the older kids. People will kindda sortta fear you in Mumbai. Delhi is a different story, Hunar's constant jokes will not allow anybody to take you seriously at all.
2. When you take up squash and swimming, insist that father not come along. He will make you hate both of them with his constant nagging. Screaming and shouting and scolding will ensue.
3. Family trouble will come up. Some of it is because of you. It's your laziness and aloofness. Don't fall pray to sloth
4. CZC will be your life line. You're now a Co-admin. Eventually you'll venture out to another forum. There you shall meet the all powerful MALACH. Worship him (lol) Also, Vishnu is the preserver, not the creator. Just keep that in your head ^_-
5. I know you're in your atheist phase right now, but god exists. You still hate religion more or less but trust me, God exists. God has given you too many chances and you've let them all slip. Again and again. Don't make the same mistakes I made. Please.
I'll write again when I'm 30. Hope you have great life. Please listen to me. If not for you, the for me.
You
Chiraag
cool ypg, I also want to hear De Pope's
