Tagged and Taken

Getting a little too lazy these days...No work and No play makes Rockus a very dull boy. Got tagged by Freebird. I guess I should be doing that now.
1.Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it.
Hmmm...got a couple of scars invisible to others. Got a nasty 8 stitch just above my eye, in my eyebrow infact. Not visible until closely (very) observed. I got it on June 12 1991, when I turned 7 years old. I remember the date exactly. It was my birthday and the day of general elections. I went to vote with all the members in the family that morning. After the small cake cutting and all, I walked into a dark room. My aunt was sleeping on the floor. I tripped and banged my head against the edge of a cot. Started bawling and bleeding. I was taken to the hospital where they told to take me to the eye hospital. The doctor was sleeping. Considering that, she did a great job. The scar is invisible, unless I shave my eyebrow of... :-P
2.What does your phone look like?
Like a truck went over it! Numbers of the dialpad are not readable unless the backlight is there. It has been with me for 18+ months now. Clocked over 200 hours (reset once) of talk time. (I don't have really long conversations on a daily basis...)
3.What is on the walls of your bedroom?
Recently painted pink. A painting of Saraswathi by Raja Ravi Varma is hung on the wall.
4.What is your current desktop picture?
The default windows wallpaper! :-D
5. Do you believe in gay marriage?
I do. If two people want to live together, it should be alright for them to do so.
6.What do you want more than anything right now?
Hmmm...go on a trip by myself...somewhere far...a place with greenery...a place which is cool by day and cold by night...just to laze around and think all day...
7. What time were you born?
11:34 AM. :-D I know the precise time. Its there in my horoscope along with a small piece of paper with the date and time which was given to the astrologer.
8.Are your parents still together?
Yes. Thanks to the strength of my mother.
9.Last person who made you cry?
Someone who means a lot to me...But I am up and running again... :-)
10. What is your favourite perfume / cologne?
I do use Deo...which I pick up at random usually. The current one had a 30% extra tag and smelled nice. So I picked that one up.
11.What kinds of hair/eye color do you like in the opposite sex?
Black hair. Don't really like coloured hair. Reminds of me of beggars. Any eye colour is fine as long it is not red or violet or orange... :-P
12.What are you listening to?
"Minnalazhake" by Vineeth Sreenivasan. A really cool song and an awesome video to boot. Don't worry...I am still the same old rock and metal head! :-D
13.Do you get scared of the dark?
Rarely these days. The primal fear never really goes out. When I was kid, I was horrified and needed company even to go to toilet. :-D I am a big boy now and live all alone in an entire floor! ;-)
14.Do you like painkillers?
Never really take any. I take a Paracetamol when I get a fever. Otherwise its no drugs. I do have a high capacity to take pain. I do wince and go "oooh", but can take a lot of pain. Its like "Takes a licking. But keeps on ticking."
15.Are you too shy to ask someone out?
May be. Never really had the opportunity to do so.
16.If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
Not particularly hungry. Had some beef fry, beef chilly, boiled egg and omelet (small share of everything) along with a shot of Brandy and a Beer. I would really like to have some HPMC apple juice though. (The one you get in the Museum and Railway Station)
17.Who was the last person that made you mad?
Salim Darr. The umpire who gave two bad decisions today. One against Sachin and the other against Dravid. I didn't check whether India lost or not. Will do that now.
18.Who was the last person who made you smile?
I think it was Dhanya. Listening to her reaction to my threats of blackmail. :-D

Anybody can take up this tag. Please do. According to a recent study by WHO, doing tags like this would definitely improve your health!

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
