Dr. Bender once mentioned in class that memories are created when one experiences joy strong emotions, and in the context of algorithms, when one discovers a solution to some problem.
About a month down, I've noticed that experiences are what I'm going to die with. I vividly remember this episode in school when we were in the middle of the gymnastics competition and were one short of someone on the roman rings. I decided to give it a shot (even though I had never tried it before) and 2 minutes later I found myself stuck "up there". I don't remember all the things that I did right or who eventually won, but I surely do remember getting stuck!
If you are from my school and remember this episode, please leave a comment. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!
I want to be in the business of creating memories.

Hahaha! Birdy, I remember that episode clearly. I think it was when we were in the 9th standard or something.
It was totally hilarious. I remember trying hard to contain my laughter. You looked so badly stuck!
I wish we had a video of it :)
Are you sure that this memory - of you being stuck - is one when you experienced "joy"?
@Apurva: Yes, I wish the world was more "social" back then - just so that we could have this on camera ;)
@Sandesh: Well, I didn't experience pain, and frankly, I was smiling to myself because it was a genuinely funny situation to be in. It was the first time I was doing it ever, and that too in front of a crowd. I should have expected it!! (btw, I've updated the incorrect quote).
