Yesterday... Today ... and Tomorrow... tagged by Aaarti
The Rules of the tag are:

Yesterday :
Your oldest memory:
I remember many of the days from my childhood. Will share one old memory here - around the age of 4-5 I started to like Dennis the Menace - cause maybe I was one and my grand pop gifted me a sticker of him which was about one foot long....I still think I have it somewhere back home after all these years.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Now this is surreal to be asked this question on this tag today. 10 years ago, on this very day - I embarked to come to the US -being 19th night in India -and landing at JFK with a immigration stamp for August 19th - Yes it is my 10th year away from home today.
Today :
Your first thought today morning:
Where did I park my car? Staying in an urban area - parking is a big problem - I have ended up paying many parking fines cause I dont remeber if I parked on the right side of the street - or the right zone. Sometimes I walk all around to find the car in the morning - I am serious - I just cant register this information.
If you built a time capsule today what would it contain?
Dunno - I cant think of anything that important to carry it to the future.
Tomorrow
This year
Took care of lots of personal demons....so far so good.
What do you see yourself doing 14 years from now?
14 Years is a long time to estimate what I am going to do - but will surely work towards retiring from this daily mundane rut and spend time things that I like.
and only Ram knew he was gonna "get" Sita after 14 years...but guess Valmiki had different plans...
As always - I took this tag up as one of the questions coincided with an event for me. So whoever on my blogroll wants to take it up is free to do so.

Very nice! u completed 10 yrs in this country..omg..that is soooooo long...n that too in the same city!

u know wat i mean?
Congrats!n wish u many yrs of happiness in the places ur destined to visit n stay at :)
my god!are you really away from home for 10 years now?:O
congratulations!and i wish all you dream and desire be fulfilled
i seriously admire you, my mom and dad have been pestering me crazy to sit for the GREE TOEFL IELTS and go abraod but i never pay any heed to them,somehow i feel if im taken away from my realm [room,home,lane,locality,city,state,country etc ] i will be like a fish out of water and die mourning for MY-ness... i can still manage to stay alone in a different city [i hope at least,im going next year]but if i were to stay abroad then id surely die of nostalgia
kudos to you
nicely done!!
Hadn;t seen this tag before in bloggerville, was a good read.
:)
Cool one.. and here's to many more years ahead filled with stuff ur heart desires n where the road takes u!!! :D

ah liked the tag...nice one.
10 yrs...u did not go back to ur home town during these years....great..i appreciate ur effort..
Nice tag!
A decade away from home-that's really very long.Getting rid of personal demons is so essential to move ahead.
10 years!!..
missing home??....
my oldest memory was when i was in delhi[5yr old] playing in the park!!:)
There cant be a better inspiration than Dennis for a 4-5 yr kid ... cool man ... you have been doing the right things from childhood itself ;)
A decade away from home ... (and family too ??? kyaa ??) ... must say its not an easy thing bro ... I had relented after a stay of just a yr and half :) Good on you mate !!!
guess u need to upgrade your memory registers (never mind ...just a computer jargon ...) and hope that you at least remember the make & number of your car :) else parking fines tak theek hai ... par doosre car ka alarm baj gaya toh problem ho jaayega ;)
So you got 4 more years before Sita makes her presence in your life ??? :((
It is a fantastic feeling yes!! but thinking about the future, and that too so long ahead...
BUt you've coem a long way....and slughtering those demons is a great step ahead for you...and my wishes for your future too :)
happy 10yr anny:)
whats ur take on it now? so has the feeling sunk in that NY is ur home now! or u still feel this is temporary?
I can imagin parking issues in NY, its tough to find spot!
good info! :)
and abtthat parking think, it REALLY happens! all the best with that! :)
:)
10 years ago- nostalgic really..
sooo have ya got ya sita?
or do ya have 2 wait for 14 years?
if ya gotta wait, i sincerely hope valmiki doesn't have other plans, atleast then!
left a comment on the post below as well! ciao!
10 years ,... they have brought you closer to the goals you have set for yourself... i hope...
wow...nicely executed tag...and 10 saal pardes mein
congrats on that..ab singh is kinng dekho aur ghar laut aao..fir mera ghar mein toh design karna hai :P
and 14 years wala line mast tha...only ram knew wat he was gonna do afta 14 years and valimiki played a spoilt sport :P
@pavi!!!!!
thanks but not in the same city - but the same state - within here I moved 4-5 times.
yeah the initial years you feel that - now it goes in a wink...
thanks and I really need those wishes right now!!!!! really :)
@phoenix
well initially it is tough - no doubts about it as you are plucked from a life of comfort to struggle....
but the experience of meeting people from all walks of life - making ones own desicions etc etc..go a long way....
thanks - give it a try and leave your house for atleast one year - it will change your life for sure....
what you think is not possible - you will be forced to do and then all that will be conquered
@aqua girl
thank you - take it up if you want
@aaarti
thanks you...it was a cool tag
yeah I read about the sassy girl on your blog...
@keshi
thanks :0
nah....I dont think much in the future ;) if sita is around there somewhere I will surely meet her - no matter when and if not - the pursuit will still be on till I die :)
thank you and all the best to you too
@princess mia
thanks
@ rakesh
Oh - I did go back 4 times and might go again..in the near future and also parents visited here....

@sameera

@hiren
hahaha - tab dennis tha - phir a certain perion I was into Mad Magazines - and then Calvin

No - have been home 4 times - might come again this year and parent have visited here...so not really
well there were certain aspects of life that made it easy and not lonely to stay here but as usual I am in constant flux and now facing what you are describing....
Arey dont ask me man...moved to new town last year - in first three weeks paid upwards of 250 dollars in parking fines - lucky the car did not get towed...
after that made a chart - put it up and marked everyday where it is :P
@prats
