Future on a napkin


I use this much like an exercise in thinking beyond the present... and a peek into future. I call this one ... "Future on a napkin" . It works like this :

You are out with one/few of your friend(s) for a coffee/dinner . And the conversation is drying up with mundane ideas - soccer, family et al. And here is something you put forward .

You take a napkin and start writing a question :
For example .... something like this -

When will I get married ?
Person A : 2014
Person B : 2015
Person C : 2015
Person D : You wont get married


Well ... i did this sort of thing ... and well .. trust me, it would be wonderful to look at it once in a while later on !

Additional things to do with this :
1) Scan the napkin and send it to your friends the next day ( or better still sometime when the event actually happens - if you still have that copy :) )
