I think I've said earlier that I was generally a frequent victim of tagging in childhood games. After a brief respite in my youth, I find old age has brought with it a return of that old nemesis. While I managed to conveniently side-step the Archster's Tag (I hope she won't be reminded too soon), a fellow b-schooler managed to hit me with one that had all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
So here goes then....20 random things about the most boring Sea-Serpent alive:
1. I like the Swedish Pop group ABBA. It's an aberration in a world where hoary rockers and dead composers generally dominate, but there you have it. The strains of 'I have a dream' still get this old reptile to prick up his ears.
2. I sleep too much. This observation was made by several classmates who found that even after a full 8-hour siesta, I could still drop off during lectures. I blame it on the comfortable chairs. The jury's still out.
3. I have an infinite capacity to be rude towards people I like. It goes with an infinite capacity to be tender. My rudeness is to be taken as a compliment.
4. I'd rather do nothing than do something. Really.
5. I like girls who are confident in themselves. Nothing's a bigger turn-off than an immature shrinking violet.
6. I'm inclined to believe people are good unless proven otherwise.
7. I'm inclined to believe people are unintelligent unless proven otherwise.
8. I love Chinese Food. I don't mean authentic cuisine, I mean the cheap Bombay Chinese food. I don't know why. Maybe it's because chinese stalls usually have pictures of my distant ancestors painted on them.
9. I love cats. I really adore 'em. Little furry fluffy cute thingies.
10. I detest myself. If I knew a person who was like me I'd hate him to pieces.
11. I honestly believe what little beauty is left in this degenerate world is worth preserving, worth fighting for.
12. I have not yet been placed for Summers. I doubt I ever shall.
13. I have consumed more alcohol in the past 4 months than in the preceding 24 years.
14. I speak and comprehend Hindi perfectly well. My essays in Hindi received high praise from teachers in my school days. I pretend I do not to avoid having to go to Bollywood movies.
15. It was SEBI who introduced Circuit Filters in the Stock markets to prevent unusual fluctuations in share prices. I have a Circuit filter to maintain my frustration levels from moving beyond + or - 1sigma from the mean levels.
16. I honestly think anything more than a mouthful is a waste. If you thought I was referring to anything other than seafood, you have a dirty mind.
17. There are days when I feel old. Really old.
18. I once turned down an invitation to make out with a girl because she was on the rebound. I shall never regret this fact.
19. Bad pronounciation grates my ears as much as loud car horns.
20. I wish I had the guts to drop out of college and take up an alternate career.
There you go then....
Whom do I tag....
1. Siddhu (because he's such a quirky chap and he lives in Scotland)
2. Bugs (because he's the messiah of the masses and the masses deserve to know more about the messiah)
