It's 6:30 am on a Sunday, and I'm awake... :-|
Sitting with my laptop in the balcony, looking out at an amazing view of Bangalore city.
Looking, back, I realize that when I was a kid, I had lots of things I wanted to do. Some of them were kiddish, some were actually useful and worth doing, some were plain impossible...
Decided to enumerate them, here they are... (in no order whatsoever)
1) Collecting all the G.I.Joe action figures and vehicles
2) Completely buying Enid Blyton's Five Find Outers and Dog series
3) Interacting a lot more with other members of Mensa
4) Becoming a HAM Radio operator
5) Learning a new language
6) Becoming financially independent
7) Building a magnetic personality
8) Making a war bot and participating in Robot Wars
9) Reading minds
10)Learning handwriting analysis and palmistry

I was exhilarated to learn that you read a lot of Enid Blyton's books, including, of course The Five Find-outers, where we had that ever-brilliant Frederick algernon Trotteville, alias, Fatty. I think, as I discuss in my book, The Famous Five: A Personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com), Enid Blyton was one of the first writers in the modern era to debunk the bedraggled myths about Obese people, by the way she portrayed Fatty who is obese as being very witty and clever. This was in contra-distinction to earlier writers such as Frank Richards who portrayed charcters such as Billy and Bessie Bunter as being fat and stupid.
