I am doing it

NaBloPoMo, I mean. Whether I will succeed or not is yet to be seen.


I just spent two hours (at work) to get the documents sorted for applying for renewal of my passport (still Indian). Have I ever mentioned how much I hate paperwork associated with visa, passports and such things? Well, now you know. This, by far, is the worst one yet. For example, they have written in their instructions and FAQ that I need to attach three 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm passport size photograph. And when I printed out the form, it says 2" x 2" photograph. Can someone tell me which size photograph should I take? (I know both, just in case). I am utterly and completely frustrated at the moment. I hate paperwork.


Anyhoo, coming back to the NaBloPoMo. As usual, they have a writing prompt and today's writing prompt that says:


If you could stop your body from aging at any point in your life, what age would you want to stay at and why?


Really? I mean, I have always been told that I look young for my age. People usually don't believe when I tell them my age.  I can enlist the disadvantages of looking younger than you are (people doubting your "wisdom" is the most prominent one). Do you really think I want to look even younger than I am at any point in my life? I really doubt that. So I guess my answer would be: Thank you but no, thank you.


How about you? Do you want to stop your aging process?

  1. Yay! NaBloPoMo means you will be blogging every day! :) Can I just say I totally empathise with the whole paperwork thing around passports. I am in the process of applying for my Aussie passport. Can I just say one of the worst things is having to take a passport photo! It's horrible...you can't show your teeth or smile naturally. =S

    I guess if I'd like my body to stop aging, now is a good time... :) I look mature enough...even though some people reckon I'm younger than 26. But at least the rest of the body is doing good :D

  2. @ PB: Hopefully I will keep my word and blog everyday. I am not too good at keeping schedules but will try my best!

    I know what you mean. Hate all the stupid paperwork associated with all these kind of government documents. I will be glad once its over..

    Hmm..interesting. I guess its a good age to stop aging, at least you haven't gotten any long term aches and pains yet, unlike old people like us. :)
