Contest, Crazy, Fun, Hilarious!, Memories, Moments of madness
First of all, sorry about the delay… It’s about 3.30pm here, and I was hungry.. so time had to stretch itself a bit…But even if I (my post) don’t qualify, it’s ok.. I just wanted to relive those fun memories, and wanted to share it with y’all..
For more on this awesome contest, visit BlogAdda! !!! 🙂 And by the way, this cuteness is sponsored by…. PRINGOO!!!!!
So here I go!
I am as boring as they come… Joyrides scare the hell out of me, unwanted risks pain me and the list goes on.
Yet, I have had my share of crazy mad moments…
Here’s 5 of them:
1. When I skydived!
Good God! What ever made ME wanna do that, I still have no clue… But going up those 13,500 feet above the ground, in that little thing they called a plane, was too much for me!!!!
And then, there I was, tied well to my tandem partner, standing at the edge of the plane, breathing in the ultimate freshness, and responding to his ONE .. TWO.. THR…Oh WTF! I am jumping… no no I am flying… heck no.. I am just falling!!!!!
A minute of free fall… and I knew what a rock must feel like, when tossed! 🙂 Sometimes seeing the sky, sometimes the earth, then some clouds, then some buildings….down down down down… and then…ZOOOOPPPP!!! The chute opens up! And I could hear myself screaming in a pitch that I never knew I could go to!
And then those 7 minutes of pure floating… hands free (in the truest and best of senses).. while my partner did all the parachute controlling. He knew I was no good, and that all I could do was scream and sing from up there! I even asked him to keep me in air for a minute more, and he did acquiesce to my whim… gee.. I love him for that!!! 🙂
2. When I stood on my seat and danced in a movie theatre, and was applauded too!
I was a little kid when this happened (thankfully!), and the movie was Sanam Teri Kasam. So I was with my parents, watching this movie, and the title song was playing… And all of a sudden, I stand on my seat and start dancing, total Bollywood style! 🙂
I used to and still do LOVE DANCING! So my action didn’t come as a surprise to mom and dad. And yet, they made valiant efforts to get me to sit.. But in vain ofcourse! And very soon, everyone in the movie theatre was looking towards me, whistling, cheering me and clapping… That’s when I realized what was going on, and just as suddenly as I had started dancing, I sat back in my seat, silent and embarrassed!! 🙂
This incident haunts me even now, cuz my parents don’t fail to mention it (or rather, bring it up again) to family and friends.. And all I can do is cringe and smile sheepishly..
3. When I spoke incessantly for hours over the phone with my now husband (but then, budding boyfriend) even AFTER I realized that he had fallen asleep listening to my talks!
Yea, it was my first ever cellphone, purchased with my own salary, from my first ever job! I was staying at this place, as a paying guest, and he was staying a few miles away from mine. After our usual evening hangouts with friends, he had dropped me off at my abode and had just reached his own house. And there! Tring tring.. I call him! I talk and talk and talk… he too was talking initially. Then I went up to the terrace (cuz the other girls had decided to call it a day!) and I continued to talk.. I heard him yawn over the phone, and even told him a good night! But I never hung up.. and went on with my yapping! And then I heard some steady breathing from the other end of the line. I was irked to the core by the fact that he had fallen asleep as I was speaking!!! But I didn’t want to admit this fact. So I continued to talk. And finally, after speaking for about 15 more minutes into a phone with no reply, I hung up!!!
Funny?! Crazy? I say stupid!!!!
4. When I was chased by a dog!
I was returning with stuff purchased at the local grocery store, and had decided to take a shortcut home, and jump gates! And there was this stray dog doing what he does best – taking a nap! Apparently, the noise from my jump woke him up. Now… some wise guy had once told me to NEVER RUN on seeing dogs. They sense that you are scared..something like that. But my good sense deceived me! And I ran… And that canine chased after me like I were a thief! I never knew I could run so fast! My groceries dropped, the milk spilled.. I didn’t care a damn! I ran! I jumped more gates and walls, and ran inside my building AND PRAYED that mom opens the door on the first bell! And she did!! BLESS HER! That dog didn’t stand a chance with me! Not on that day at least! I love you mummy!!! 🙂
5. When I “fell” on an uncle’s lap, in the bus!
I was getting back home from college, and the BEST bus was not so crowded (surprise!!).. It was a double-decker, and I was on the lower deck. My bus-stop was approaching, and so I was walking up to the dismounting area.. And then there was a red light! And the driver jammed the brakes! And I fell plop onto an uncle’s lap!! I was so embarrassed that I kept apologizing to him like crazy.. and he was very understanding about the whole situation too. But in all of this, I failed to realize that I never really got off his lap! Poor uncle!! When I realized that, I was doubly awkward, and almost jumped up and ran out!!! I even remember hearing him giggle after me… ugh.. But so did the rest of the passengers on board.. (sigh)
Well.. this was my bit! I know it’s a tad long.. but guess what.. I just wrote it as I remember it 🙂 And laughed too!
And I hope you enjoyed it as well…
Hey.. I ain’t crazy!! Things just happen!!! 🙂
Have a fun and memory-filled week ahead!!!

Yay, I get to write the first comment!!
This is brilliant, you write it just like you would say it if we were chatting over coffee – wonderful!
You skydived?? No way… flying in a plane is enough for me!
Super blog, Kavita. Hugs!
Kavita said:
Heheh.. Thanks Jess!! You are tooo sweet!!!
And I was chatting 🙂 This was no fiction… I wrote it exactly the way it happened! And I thoroughly enjoyed writing it, just as much as I loved laughing over the incidents 🙂 The dog chase was no fun then though…
And yes, I skydived! And boy oh boy!!! It was the funnest and most thrilling thing EVVAHH !!!!
Thankooo once again for reading this loooooong one… you made me happy happy!!! 🙂
Many hugs to you too!!!
Emmanuel Ibok said:
LOL…these were funny and brought some memories back on. Talking on the phone even after the person at the other end has hung up is a comon practice so I guess it isnt as stupid as you think it is…being chased by a dog? I’ve been there a million times as a kid and that old saying of “dont run” doesnt work cos the dog already is in attack so the best defense is to run…lol
The way you also illustrated your sky diving experience makes me want to try it…I have never thought of trying it though but I guess the thought is budding nicely now.
Thanks for sharing these experiences and I hope you can still dance.
Cheers, Friend.
Kavita said:
Hehehe… As common as it may be, talking on the phone even AFTER knowing that other person has slept off, is stupid! 🙂
And those dog chases… oh man!!! Actually I have been chased by a friggin’ monkey IN THE CITY!!! Can you beat that?!?!?! But I was just too too embarrassed to write about it… phew!
And skydiving – YOU HAVE TO try it some time!! Really, Emm!! It’s just plain awesome!!! And it compares to nothing I’ve done before! Ah-maaaazing I tell ya!!!
As for dancing, YES!!! I still can, love to, and DO dance (not in movie theaters though…) 😉
Thank you for reading up this loooong piece, Emmanuel… I am glad you too had laugh reading it (although it was at my expense…grrr) … jus kidding…
Have a fabulous week! And let me know whenever you plan on taking up the skydive challenge!!! Please please please… 🙂

I have a bucket list and skydiving is definately on it!!..It is lovely to read about your experiences..I laughed about the “falling asleep” part so much! Wish you lived closer…you sound like such an interesting person. Lots of love and hugs to you 🙂 x
Kavita said:
Hehehe.. Thanks, Amanda!!! These experiences were really meant to be laughed at!!! Except when they were happening ofcourse… 🙂
And skydiving – YOU SIMPLY SHOULD DO IT!!!! Trust me.. you will absolutely love it!!!
I knooowww… it would really be fun had we lived closer! But I am glad I at least met you online, in this blogging world! Something’s better than nothing!!!! Thank God for WordPress, and for Jingle’s Rally!!!! Bless her 🙂
Hope you are having a fabulous week! Many hugs and kisses to you…
Jingle said:

Experiences such as these are really so fun to recall… And am glad I could entertain you too with it 🙂

Ha ha ha! The part with the dog and uncle was hilarious. I still have a wide grin when I write in this comment.
And as usual, you do have a way with words – very natural. Impressed.
I totally envy your skydiving stunt. I went to Indore to try it, when the gig was cancelled in the last minute.
Thanks again. Enjoyed the post thoroughly!
Kavita said:
Oh puhleez! The dog had scared the life out of me!!! Ofcourse, I can laugh about it now! 🙂
Thanks, Keshav… am all covered in grins reading this comment! 🙂
And by the way, skydiving… TOTALLY something you gotta try !!! So what if it got cancelled at the last minute!! Go try again!
I loved writing this for the Madness thingie… It was like reliving those fun moments all over again!!!
Keshav Ram Narla said:
I read point 3 again. LoL! Who does that man! you mad 🙂 Poor guy. I totally sympathize with him. 😉
BTW the post was not long, it was just the right length. Lucky ones are those who read every word of this.
Kavita said:
heheheheh… and I read this comment out aloud to my husband… and he was like ‘SOMEbody understood at long last!!!’ Grrr….. 🙂
As I was writing the post, I was kinda hoping that the reader doesn’t sleep off while reading it (you know, like how my husband did!) 😉
Thankfully, you didn’t … and neither did the others (or so I would like to assume)
Read my reply to Ibok’s comment… and you will learn that I was chased by more than just a dog! Maybe I will narrate it some other time… phhheeewww!!
Anyway, am GLAD you enjoyed the read… and DO DO DO TRY SKYDIVING !!!! And let me know how you find it!!! :))
Keshav Ram Narla said:
Just point me to where people jump off planes in India and I’ll be there!
Kavita said:
hahahaha… I am sure people must be jumping off off planes everywhere and all the time! But I dived in Dallas… Not quite sure where it’s possible in India… Will ask a few friends and let you know! And soon too… 🙂
heartspell said:
What great stories you shared here! Skydiving sounds exhilarating… after it’s over! And the one about the dog, I’m glad you made it home without teeth marks…Whew! I enjoyed reading this post. Heartspell
Kavita said:
Glad you enjoyed reading them, and I hope you had a good laugh too 🙂
Dogs (esp. stray ones) still scare me! And skydiving is a MUST TRY for all !!! I strongly recommend it! It’s the closest one can get to flying (i think)…and the feeling is really amazing!
And once again, thanks for taking the time to read thru’ this kinda long post 🙂 .. (hugs)
Have a lovely day!
Pamela said:
Wow!! Your post really sounds very interesting and entertaining. I liked it.
Kavita said:
Gee… thanks a bunch, Pamela! Am glad you enjoyed reading it, as much as I enjoyed writing it 🙂
Most of those incidents are really hilarious (NOW)… 🙂
Thank you for stopping by, and have a wonderful week ahead!
jadepaloma said:
Is this a memory challenge? 😉 I’ve spent much time running away from my memories, and even now I am afraid of them… but yours are hilarious! :-)))) Great post!
Kavita said:
Heheh… It wasn’t really a memory challenge.. it was more of a mad memory challenge! 😉
I had fun recollecting these, and even more, writing them down! But believe you me, I have some memories that I wouldn’t even dare to go near!
But anyway, I am glad you had a good laugh (albeit at my expense ;-))… That was totally the idea !!!
Have a super week ahead!
MiZa said:
Well, what can be more relaxing than remembering funny happenings, extreme moments, embarrassing moments, and the list can go on….after the time diluted a bit (or more) the initial perception :). Wow…you had some moments, isn’t it?
Lovely style in describing your feelings…so enjoyable to read. Have a beautiful day (or night :)…
Kavita said:
Hehehhe… thank you so much for stopping by, and taking the time to read, Mihaela (?)… I am happy that you had a nice laugh on reading this one (although it was at my expense ;-))..
Those experiences really were quite hilarious now (a few years after they happened)! But one cannot say the same for WHEN they were happening .. at that time, it was a freak show!!! phheewww
But it’s these and more and make a life worth living… don’t you think so?
So, cheers to experiences, to you, me and all of us!!! 🙂
Have a lovely week ahead!!!

Thank you Saravana… Writing it brought back good memories 🙂

Have a great week ahead!!!
Samantha said:
This was a great read. LOL I’m jealous.. I have always wanted to sky dive… unfortunately, nobody I know shares this desire and I’m chicken to do it by myself. LOL
And the dog thing… made me laugh out loud. … but, you know.. you really SHOULDN’T run from a dog! LOL You’re lucky it didn’t catch you! You should either act mad at it and stand your ground -tell it to “get” OR act friendly.. call it over to you.. tell it to “sit” like you’re the boss.. it may not listen, but is less likely to chase. But, your story reminded me of when I was chased by a bunch of older kids when I was about 13… I never knew I could run so fast either! LOL
Enjoying checking out your blog! thanks for the comment and lead….
Kavita said:
heheheh… I am GLAD you enjoyed this one… I see you had a good laugh too (at my expense) ;-)… That was totally the intention!!
Oh boyyyy…. the dog incident was just crazy! Ok ..here’s a secret: I have been chased by a monkey once.. IN THE CITY, near my home! Don’t even ask about it!
And thanks for those handy tips on how to keep dogs from chasing you… “GET” and “SIT” .. ok … point noted and etch inside my head now!! I only hope I don’t ever get into a situation where I have to use these tips though… 🙂
As for skydiving, GO FOR IT!!! PLEASE !!! The funnest thing ever! I am as chicken as they come…. but somehow, with skydiving, I was the one that wanted to do it! AND LOVED IT TOOOOOO…So please please try it! Get SOMEbody to go with you… anybody!!! 🙂
Anyway, have a fun, bright and happy July!!! And let me know whenever you decide on doing the skydive! I will cheer for you!!! 😉
ENJOY!
Bikram said:
ohh yes oops i forgot to mention my jump, I did sky dive when i went to Oz last year, I must say I was pretty confident till the time I was at the door of the plane at 14000 foot, sitting with my legs dangling in air and it was all cloudy that when i thought WHAT THE HECK.. AM I MAD and then at that very moment i got a push and woooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but IT WAS FUN.. the best thing i ever did … Where about did you do yours…
all incidents are mad, dancing , talking to ur hubby , the dog chanse and the landing on the lap:)
all the best for the contest…
Kavita said:
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Bikram… Glad you enjoyed the read!!! Cuz I thoroughly enjoyed reliving those crazy mad moments when I was writing this one down.. 🙂
I had skydived in Dallas-Texas, and now I am already thinking of a second take at it, here in NY!! Oooohhh… thrilling !!! The thought of being a rock again, and then a bird is totally exhilarating !!!
Have a fun weekend ahead!!! 🙂 And good luck to you as well…
Cold Dead Heart said:
This made me laugh so hard. Yeah, not going to sky dive now. I nearly had a heart attack on Space Mountain. Really funny list.
Kavita said:
Heheh.. Am happy you had a good laugh reading this! 🙂 They really were fun recollecting too 🙂
An almost-heart attack on Space Mountain… LOL
I am surprised how on earth I could muster up the courage to go skydiving! I am usually the one that chickens out from joyrides and stuff… surprise surprise! 😉
Anyway, have a fantastic weekend!!!
