Countdown Tag

Taking a break from memoirs and doing a tag after a long, long time. Got this from here.


10 Things I've realized/ 10 realizations

  1. I am susceptible to negative emotions ala jealousy, possessiveness etc etc. Big surprise for a someone who is nearly altruistic most of the time!
  2. I process a huge amount of information everyday. 75% non-work and 25% work. Blame Google Reader for this! Lots and lots of posts everyday. If I happen to read a book, the volume goes up by a lot.
  3. I have quite a strong gut and is able to see gross stuff more than an ordinary guy.
  4. I don't sound that good on phone. :-<
  5. I am a Challenger (The link is a small pdf of 84 KB, definition of Challenger is there in page 130). Came to know about this after a team building programme I attended last week.
  6. I am very lazy when it comes to things affecting me. :-D
  7. I tend to think a lot and deduce crazy stuff!
  8. I cannot sit idle.
  9. Life is something not to be taken that seriously.
  10. I like cold beer!
9 things I'm glad about.
  1. My family. You cannot decide who you want to be as your parents and I am glad I got mine.
  2. Friends I have. Few in number maybe, not so few in care.
  3. The decisions I have taken in my life so far.
  4. Enjoying my life to the max.
  5. My ability with words.
  6. My workplace. Surprised, much? :-)
  7. Being an Indian. Living in a multicultural society with exposure to such diversity. It would be really bland to live in a place where singularity prevails.
  8. Having banana chips while writing this!
  9. That reminds me...Glad about having a roof over my head, clothes on my body, food inside my stomach, and the warmth of being loved. The most important point.

8 Things I badly wanna (do)
  1. Write more.
  2. Read more.
  3. Watch more movies.
  4. Listen to more music.
  5. Take a couple of days off to read and write, then another couple to do some urgent stuff I should be doing.
  6. To travel a lot. Kailash Yatra is a big dream for me. Even otherwise, I would like to travel to a lot of exotic places.
  7. Shed some weight.
  8. Complete some stuff I seriously ought to be doing.

7 Things I often tell myself.
  1. Be Good and Do Good. E.T style. :-)
  2. Read More
  3. Write More
  4. Stop thinking too much!

4 people I tag

Don't quite have a blogger ring now. Still lets see... Resmi (Let this be your first tag!), Poison, Darth Fragger, and the Fellowship (its been a very long time dudes and dudettes! Lets do this for old times sake!)

3 Confessions
  1. I can be a dumb ass at times.
  2. I can make up really believable lies and excuses.
  3. I hate the objectivist philosophy developed by Ayn Rand. Too individualistic for my taste.

  1. Will not make a promise that I am sure I cannot keep.
  2. Always keep Promise 1.
1 That's exclusively yours. can write anything.

Introspective exercise for dummies!

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 .
