How’s life guys!
Now before you start bombarding me with stories about how miserable or how amazing your life is, please remember that ‘How’s life’ is only a greeting and not a question. Actually if you come to think of it, life these days is very easy. I mean, not even looking far back, if you just ask your parents, how life was in their days, you’d think that they lived just after the Stone Age. If you remember how you used to adjust the antenna to get a TV signal, how you used to sleep on the terrace during summer vacations, ride on a wealthy friend’s new cycle to school, well then, you too are not that far off either. And to think that even kids think Life is unfair if they don’t have a PSP…
So I thought, what would constitute a life really lived? Have most of us in the current generation, even got a taste of what LIFE actually is? How much have you lived.
Here is my latest Creation – ‘A LIFE Score Calculator’: 30 Questions to tell you, precisely How Much Life have you lived?
Just award yourself the assigned points for each question that you answer in a ‘Yes’. If you can, please add short descriptions of what you think are the most interesting events in your life. Please note that the assigned points are the highest you can score for each question. Results are in %age.
Calculate Your LIFE Score!
Two Point Questions:
- Have you ever been in a Flood / Cyclone?
- Had a permanent tattoo?
- Had a surgery?
- Been through High School?
- Failed an exam?
- Read a book?
- Delivered a speech / Played a sport in front of a large audience?
- Have been arrested?
- Been injured in a fist fight / assaulted on the street? (School brawls don’t count)
- Ran from home for at least a night?
- Been robbed or Robbed / someone or some place? (Yes, Shoplifting counts)
- Travelled on a train with NO Ticket?
- Been fired from a job?
- Drowned in a pond / river / sea and had to be rescued?
- Contested an election?
Four Point Questions:
- Have you been in an earthquake / tsunami / volcanic eruption? (Stranded in a city because of an ash cloud doesn’t count)
- Slept hungry / Borrowed for necessities?
- Had any body part amputed?
- Had an affair with more than one person at a time?
- Been discovered that you’re having an affair with more than one person?
- Have done embarrassing things when drunk?
- Beaten by the police?
- Been married?
- Divorced / re-married?
- Had a child?
- Shot someone with a gun / Been shot at?
- Bought a house with money you earned?
- Took at least a continuous week off work to do charity / social service?
- Took a back packing trip for at least a month in unknown lands?
- Bungee jumped / Scuba dived?
And if you noticed, if you have done all of the above, you still would’ve only lived 90% of your life. Coz. You can never say you’ve lived your life to the full, as long as you’re still alive.
So go ahead, take it up, post it on your blog (Don’t forget to publicise me – the creator 
and Don’t forget to drop me a link in the comments)
My Score? Well it is a measly 42%. I think, I should get out more.
PS. Do you think, I’ve missed out any Life changing events?
why would having an affair with more than one person even be a part of the list of things u need to do to have truly lived? Or robbing/ being robbed? How strange!
Also, I’m curious to know the things that made you arrive at 42%! Where are your descriptions?
Btw, is this a case of ‘Chor ki dadhi mein tinka?’
I’ll post my descriptions in a separate post! But yes, you’re right about what you’re thinking
I did score on that question 
22 + 32 .. I scored 54
so thats 54%.. GOt a lot more to do in life it seems …
and let the games begin
wowo if i start mentioning the points it will be scandal he he heeh
I scored most on being hurt, police , guns .. fights ..Elections .. typical Male stuff in college times
You written after a long long time …
Wow, 54% is great… atleast more than me.
And yes, a scandal was exactly what was in my mind when I wrote few of those questions… Go on, post the descriptions it on your blog
I so wanna know hw u scored that Bik
Sheesh, mine is 40%. Pathetic.
And I thought I’ve done quite a bit with my life already!!!
I score so bad! But I think am living my life well, the want I want to
@Masood & Swaram: Think of it this way, the lower you score, the less problems you’ve seen in life… That means, you’ve lived a Comfortable life! Cheers to that thought
Mine’s a pretty measely score too…
But, I don’t want to experience an earthquake or tsunami…and I don’t want have multiple affairs or get caught with them!
So, I’m good with my score!
Yup, You’ve lived a comfortable life Pixie
56 is the score and I say not fair in some of the questions I have done both of the or u have mentioned shld I get double marks for it like bungee jumping AND scuba diving
Wow Monica, 56% is a great score! The highest yet…
I’d love to know the questions where you scored 
he he…
But no, you don’t get double marks for both coz I thought 1 of the activities is good enough to give some additional perspective to your life
I scored 20…sheesh I’m getting a complex here;-/
p.s: where is the review for Ready????
I’m not yet ready for mindless Ready…
ok then where’s the review for AB’s BH Tera Baap
I remember posting a similar meme on my personal blog way back in 2006 or 2007. It contained a list of 150 things and the meme takers had to highlight the ones they had done and put up the sum total. It was fun. A few months later I found someone had aggregated such blog posts and drawn up a statistical analysis of things most bloggers had done. Lol.
Cool, but what have you done btw? What’s your score!
60%… And I shud tell u the most embarrassing thing I have done when drunk.. Doesn’t playing poker count, btw..?
Wow, 60% is amazing man… Have to know what all have you done
And I still have to sit and drink with you. I dunno why you never drink with us.
Poker is just another table game
Maybe playing in a Poker competetion could count for something.
My Score is 40% so about average there.. I think you might like a similar thing that I have done but on a much bigger scale! Please visit http://www.lifequest1.com and get your “Life Score” and climb a “Life Ladder”! You can help develop the concept with me too!
