THY HAVETH BEEN TAGGED

Ooooooooooooo.... yippeeeeeeeeeeeee (yep people still use such sayings)... I have been tagged. This tag has apparently flown in directly all the way from Holland to Delhi and now to 'namma Bengaluru'. I will try to be honest (read as - scribble jargon that 'll sound impressive to my manager just incase he ever comes to this blog and/or a random cute rich smart christian girl who 'll read this post and instantly fall in love with me ~ yes, I live in a fairy tale world) - Appraisal time just around the corner :D

1. LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATER: Eeks!!! not a gr8 one to start off with. I would have to go with 'RACE'. The movie was filled with so many corny lines, twists and corny lyrics that 80% of the x-tian people who watched it decieded to go on a confession spree (you know where people like you and me scare the local priest ~ with our scary lives and thoughts ~ Kurbana kolugaa) for having ripped out a huge 3 hour chunk from their lives.
P.S.: I enjoyed the movie. T'was entertaining.

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?: I am supposed to be reading - The World Is Flat. I did like to be reading - The Alchemist(read it once before more than 4 years back - recently learned that it was philosophical in nature - gotta get back to the book to find out in which corner they had hidden the philosophy then). What I am reading - Nothing. (wow - guess its time to scratch 'reading' frm the list of hobbies in my orkut list)

3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?: I want to say Chess, Backgammon and Chinese Checkers
Chess because they say it makes people sound smart.
Backgammon a game i played so long back that i hardly remember the spelling, much less the rules to the same.
Chinese Checkers - ah!!! what the heck!!! I can play as much checkers as I can backgammon. Atleast i can spell this one right.

4. FAVORITE MAGAZINE?: I probably shouldnt be saying Playboy, but, perhaps if i had got myself a copy, it would be topping the list. Right now, I ll go with RD. (The Life's Like That section eerily reminds you that people's humor sense is dropping at such an alarming rate, that pretty soon people 'll might just come down to this blog to get a few laughs - Heaven Forbid!!!)

5. FAVORITE SMELLS?: Mom's cooking. Kerosene and whatever it is that the lady in cubicle CW 907 is wearing.

6. FAVORITE SOUND?: Ping!!! On yahoo chat or google messenger.

7. WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?: Unable to help someone you care for out of a misery. When all you can do is pray.

8. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE?: Mmmmm... Last night was fun. Perhaps, next time we can do it somewhere other than in my dreams. I do love bungee jumping. (What!!! What!!! What were you perverted minds thinking anyway? Come on ppl this is a PG 13 blog)

9. FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE? Dont go to too many fast food joints. But, I'll go with Barista. Tis where Tanu treats me all the time. And as is the favourite line of every Mallu - free food is good food. :D

10. FUTURE CHILD'S NAME? If its a girl - Vineetha. If its a guy - Arun maybe. Two people I have a huge amount of respect for. I mean HUGE.

11. FINISH THIS STATEMENT. "IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D...? Not tell anyone about it.

12. DO YOU DRIVE FAST? Ha ha ha... In the last week I have been adviced on the nature of my driving only 4 times. When its a car, I am forced to look out(by Mummy dearest) for that KSRTC bus which is bound to jump off from the other side of the divider to - for reasons beyond me - make a head on collision with my car. When its a bike... I ll leave my roomies to complete that one for me. In short (not expecting my showcase to be filled with 'Safe Driver of the Year' awards anytime soon.

13. DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?: My roomie sure does sound like one, when he's on a roll. We have reasons to believe that his snoring might have been the reason for our neighbours heart stroke last week. Her son, claims that she was suddenly awakened by the sound of wild elephants in the back yard.

14. STORMS-COOL OR SCARY?: Cool. Whats the doubt?

15. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?: With my current salary - perhaps a Hot Wheels look alike - by the year 2040.

16. FAVORITE DRINK? Anything but Kim's chaapi. (Tis a cross b/w Chaaya(tea) and Kappi(coffee). First served on an experimental basis by my cousin, who was perhaps not in the mood to entertain the guests who had decieded to show up the day before her University exams.

17. FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD..." : Ooh... I answered that one yesterday. Hmmm.. If time were paused, go perhaps to a sunny beach and spend it with a close friend(read as any supermodel from Victoria's secret catalogue willing to sit close to me)

18. DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI? Only Dad cooks that one. Now here's a man who can make bread sticks taste amazing.

19. IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE? hmmm... Hadnt thought of that one before... Come to think of it, it is actually possible to make myself look scarier than i already am. WOW. Didnt think that was possible.

20. NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS YOU HAVE LIVED IN. Calcutta, Darjeeling, Aurangabad, Mysore, Chickmaglur, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah... I could go on and on and on. (In short, the inhabitants find the inevitable need to evict me, if possible, from the very country they live in)

21. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Kamasutra sport (ooh what fun :p) I guess, IPL currently.

22. ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU.: Wow... That'a a toughie :p Well, she's an amazing person with a great sense of humor and a way of thinking I am very much impressed with.

23. WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? I am a bachelor sleeping on a mattress... I dont know!!!

24. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN? : Sure... As long as the fine print in the contract says, big broad shoulders and 6 pack abs come as freebies along with that wish.

26. OVER EASY, OR SUNNY SIDE UP? : Scrambled eggs...!!! You dont have to look disheartened that its not pretty :)

27. FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX? : Me bed.

28. FAVORITE PIE? Like I said... Anything with a dash of Dad's magic touch in it.

29. FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Hot Choclate Fudge.

30. OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU TAGGED THIS TO, WHO'S MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST? Oops... I have to tag people now!!! hmm... Mr. Wetspark perhaps.

Okies... wrt the tag... I tag... wetspark, Anu252, Sharat and a certain cocunut~masala (aka nariyal chutney). Hope you folks are as jobless as I am... :D

Apun gay nahin he!!!!

K... about a week or so back i was tagged by this friend Anphy... The tag asks this of me, "Write eight random facts about ur life and pass it on to 8 people"... Well... Part one seems like a good chance to advertise myself to the female community out der... Now if only i cud loan out a bit of narcissism from here i think i could do some justice to the 'art of lying very well'... Honesty, might not be the best policy here... So, ladies, if you all get very impressed by some random ranting here, well, take a token and please stand in queue... Its rite next to the line titled -"Down with the Procrastinator!!! Snipe the nut" which consists of

a) Girls who know me well

b) Girls who read my previous post (Yes... wat u heard is true... I did recieve threat notes)


The second part... what yaar... work in McAfee and spam people... ye mujhse nahin hoga... Doesnt seem rite to a person with moral fabric like mine (yes... u guessed it rite... the lying has begun)... K... enuf beating 'bout the Bush (lets leave that to Mr. Osama and the spirit of Sadam Hussain shall v)... Lemme start boring random souls here.

First and the most important thing to clear... I am not GAY... I dont know what google has against or for what reason i hav been dragged(by GOOGLE) into this massive conspiracy to defame me, but, trust me when I say this... The GAYchaat* ad often put up rite next to my blog is not my idea... Its not the first time google has tried to defame me in such a manner... Check this out. Abe yaar... Abhi, 6ft 5in man, with rippling muscles is someone you wont mistake me for even if you suffer from severe incremenosoma ( a disease i just made up in which someone like me looks like the above description) - ppl who know me would have guessed that its a very serious disease, and, Richard Gere - as soon as he hears about it will be down to kiss Shilpa Shetty all over again spread Incremenosoma awareness


Secondly, and I am absolutely sure this wont come as a surprise to you... I am exceptionally talented in the art of procrastinating.. Its what i do... Procrastinate - delegate - laze around all day while pretending to be very very busy and get my work done by others... Infact, I am so amazed of this piece of talent of mine, that i am considering taking up an MBA degree... I mite just pass out in one year, given that I am naturally gifted at all the skills a manager should possess... :)
DISCLAIMER: The above said for all practical purposes does not apply to my manager... Especially if he reads it...


Thirdly, I am very easily inspired... Anything and everything inspires me... Even the movie Shivaji...( well... for sure...if any Rajni fan reads this I am gonna end up with a broken spine tomorrow)... But, once inspired the heat drops exponentially... Dont ask me what-when-why-how...?? Manufacturing defect i think... just like the Motorola mobiles... Charges up in 20 minutes.. Discharges in 5... wow... wat a technology... I mean...companies of the repute of Motorola cant have these kind of manufacturing defects can they (:p)


Wow... I know its just the next paragraph here, but, its taken me 3 more weeks to get here..Believe it or not... I have actually been busy... Piled up under tons of work.. Mayb even quintals.. Man... My average time in the office has not been less than 11 hours for the last month... (P.S.: This sentence you are allowed to show my manager... Infact, its largely been put for his benefit... Please someone point it out to him)
Neways... where was I? Oh yeah...
Number four ... Number four would be... hmmm... I am blank... completely blank... Yeah sure, I would love to say i am daring, dashing and extremely charming... But, I hear there are laws against lying to that extent in many countries... That I cant afford... Any country that has laws weird enough as that is bound to have a female dumb enough to go into wedlock with me.

Five, Six, Seven and Eight... I am gonna keep this short just incase there are any of you somehow, by some miracle of nature still left awake... Atleast once you ALL shouldnt fall asleep during this period of weekly/monthly torture you subject yourself to. So here's the express train:

Am a big fan of travelling/trekking. Have to go out somewhere atleast once a month.

New passion... Biking.. Only coz I spend a huge amount of money on buying one, scraped one Window, which for some reason the girls find 'koooool' and have mistaken me to be extremely daring performing stunts on the same 24 7... GOD forbid any of these meet the vegetable vendor I almost ran over.

The two things that matter most to me in the world are friendship and family... Ofcourse, this select friendship is restricted to only those who strongly believe in "Never borrow, always lend if you want to keep a friend" and family cause, one of the only two ladies who have ever called me handsome (true to the saying, "A face only a mum could love") is my mum. The other, well, I dont want to divulge much information right now, but, I want to request you all to pray for her Eye Surgery scheduled later this month.

Oh... finally... I am here.. Number eight... Hmmmm... I strongly dislike the word "Whatever"... Infact I hate it... Don ask me y?? Guess its one of those crazy things every individual must have, how much ever they did like to consider themselves normal (Yes, that includes you as well)... Like a close friend once said to me... "You are unique, just like everyone else"

Oh and... wrt passing on the tag, i choose Princess Banter and Anuradha. Definitely two of the better bloggers i know and I cant wait to read their posts on this.
