I love living life on the edge and go by my instinct and listen to my heart, brain, soul or my childlike curiosity which gets me in trouble lot of time but the best part is that it has made me live life completely different. I count the quality of life by being out of your comfort zone. Even though, if it involves committing mistakes out of actions without thinking or thinking. In my case, my mistakes are usually funny since I laugh about them upon my own silly attitude. Following are some silly moments of my life.
Goofiest mistakes:
1) Biting hand of the principal of my school on being to told to sing ringa ringa roses. It was the first time, I was introduced to classes of moral science.
2) Visiting a haunted well in the middle of the jungle where my car started rolling on its own even though it was parked with caution. I have never visited that place again.
3) Out of curiosity to be like fish, trying to take out breathing equipment of scuba 40 feet underwater.
4) Trying to touch venomous scorpionfish out of curiosity only to be saved by scuba diving instructor.
5) Jumping in high tide waves of the Arabian sea on being challenged by the boatman. Later I realised he did not jump and was playing a prank. Thank god I concentrated during my swimming lessons.
6) While jogging in the middle jungle, I tried to tease few monkeys by making funny faces.That was the last time, I ran like Usain Bolt.
7)Visiting a 500-year-old haunted fort during dusk and cracking jokes about the king who ruled the place. I experienced the phenomenon of being followed by unearthly beings and later on had to leave because of crumbling of leaves behind me. I have started respecting kings after that except for british ones ;).
8) Taking lift from a 24-year-old crazy driver (he wanted to be a pilot) who was hallucinating due to lack of sleep while driving during the night and was continuously calling me co-pilot. I doubt whether he was driving the car or the car was driving him.
9) Telling a girl " she has put on some weight". Never ever say such a thing.
10) To make a girl feel secure and safe, I told her "I am Batman" and impersonated his voice. It was the first time, I witnessed human being's immense potential of decision making. She took the decision to leave in microseconds even faster than the speed of light. Never say you are 'Batman" out of excitement.
11) Grabbing a Scorpio during low visibility thinking it was a cricket ball.
12) Volunteering on being asked to fight a beautiful karate instructor for a demonstration session to martial art students. I don't know how many of my bones she broke including the heart. :)
13) Travelling half way across India for a girl not once but twice as I had promised her. At least railway appreciated my loyalty and gave me a discount for a third trip which I did not avail.Lessons were learned.
14) Standing at the edge of a door to breath fresh air in a train running at 120 km/hour which suddenly crossed a bridge 150 feet high with turbulent water flowing down the river. I become colder than liquid nitrogen at that moment out of fear.
15) Asking wife of a CEO of a company that whether she takes decision for the company. I thought she was like Michelle Obama, which was not true. I almost crashed the deal we were about to sign with that company.
16) Having vodka shots a night before the exam and turning up prepared for the wrong subject the next day. I failed of course in the exam but succeeded in making a memorable moment.
I am now going to conclude this post, even though I might require a book to cover all of them but it is enough for today.
As you would realise by now that almost all of the mistakes could have been avoided, were also attributable to my own disregard of not thinking before taking any actions and trusting the universe blindly; but then to get out of the 'normal zone' is my speciality.
We can not enjoy life by being in comfort zone or by being afraid of committing mistakes. If you feel like doing something just do it. Like I do every time, each time, without fail. Sometimes with mistakes and sometimes without.
A wise man once said- mistake are stepping stone to success.
