The Power of 5

a.k.a. 5 Things meme


Nikichan tagged me on Sunday, and I could not get around to finishing it because I was a bit busy this week. Now that the week is almost over, I though I should take up the meme before I forget this week (or at least, I try to).

So, here goes:

5 Things Found in My Room (let me talk about my current room, and not my room at home in Pune):

1. My bag: containing all my clothes. At least all those which are not lying around on top of the bag.


2. My Laptop: can I live without this? And more to the point, how do you think I am posting all this?


3. A shelf with some great books: surprised? You must be new here.


4. A pile of letters and papers: I need to sort them out. Hopefully sometime soon.


5. A bed: Contrary to what you may believe, I do sleep at night. Sometimes in the afternoons too.

5 Things Found in My Bag (I don't carry a bag, being housebound. But when I carried a college bag):

1. My laptop: It was needed in the college, if not always in the class.


2. My laptop charger: How long do you thing the laptop battery last?


3. My iPod: Though to be fair, it did spend time in my bag only when I was in class.


4. A notebook or two: I am still a bit old-school. And it is often hard to write formulae on computer, not to mention drawing figures (technical ones).


5. A abundance of pens: I like to experiment, and I like to try new pens. And the office had new type of pen every month or so, it seems.

5 Things Found in My Wallet (that reminds me, I need to get a new one):

1. Cash: Well, wallets are for that purpose, right?


2. Coins: particularly, pennies. No matter how hard I try, I am a coin magnet.


3. Cards: Identity cards (note the plural), not credit cards or business cards. Though I have one or two of credit variety.


4. A ticket stub: Of some movie I saw sometime in the past. Did I tell you I need to clean my wallet up?


5. Come on, I am not so rich to carry 5 or more types of things in my wallet.

So, how many of these did you expect? And what else were you expecting? (Yes you, you dirty mind...)


Now it's time to pass on the meme (and hopefully, uncover some secrets like we did with Nikichan):

1. Sid (You share a room, right? That should be interesting...)


2. Silverine (The newly minted manager. Do you have a cabin now? But we are more interested in the "other" room.)


3. Princess Stefania (you can choose the room, the bag and the wallet you most like from your palace and collection.)


4. Madhavi (I guess it is time she got out of alphabets, and learnt some numbers right?)


5. Once again, I find myself short-changed. Do you want to take this up? Then leave a comment so we can enjoy.
