Tagged or what?
Lucifer has tagged me and I need to find 20 things to tell about myself...tough...!!
Lets see...
1. LOVE my country...INDIA :)
2. Like flowers...strange eh? a guy likes flowers?! i especially like Gerberas (Zerberas!)...and would be more than happy to gift to a girl!
3. One of the usual IT guys from India who has a DigiCam and likes to click at everything...but am sure I have an eye for detail (do all the guys with a Camera think the same??)...some of my photos are a testimony to that...(need some support comments about my photos :-p). Also like to have memories of all the places we visited, places we had dinners, etc...and like to have them in print...so have a huge stack of photo albums at home...some day...will surely bring fond memories back :)
Being an IT dude, also puts me in the set of people who like Gadgets! wow...Surprise!? So needless to say i love playing computer games...have an XBOX at home...is pretty cool...
4. I shall borrow a point from Charlie...hate sleeping in the day...for me sleep is just something to roll over into the next day and nothing more...or it is just to dream about something stupid, for 6-7hrs!
5. Chocos and Ice Cream...anytime..anywhere...even during Canadian winters :)
6. People think I have the worst and the biggest handwriting in the world...but i beg to differ...my handwriting is as good as anyone's...!!! is it???
7. I love the outdoors...happy to get out of house and away from the hustle bustle! (hey doesn't this contradict the fact that u sit in front of the comp or xbox to play games...)...OK given a choice I will take the OUTDOORS!
8. Used to consider that friends come ahead of family...more recently both have come on par with each other!
Yeppa...8 points...and my brain is drained...! kaapppaaadii!
9. Believe in 'you can make your own luck'...do your job and luck will automatically follow!
10. Not the typical Indian who 'knows it all' about movies...have great difficulty to remember movie names and most times I mix up movie names to form a new non-existent movie! Cant remember the names of the new breed of actors and actress!! too complicated...(Involving me in movie trivia is the fun and pastime of my friends!)
11. Eleven for Eleven players in a cricket team...CRICKET...this is the typical Indian thing which I follow...and I 'know it all' when it comes to cricket! And always cheer the Men In Blue...Like Test cricket than one dayers! strange eh?
12. Love to cook...have been good in the kitchen from when I was a kid...You name a Veggie dish and I can cook...and pretty well too...!
13. What would follow cooking??? what else..EATING...FOOD...Veggie Food! People think I just gobble food and never appreciate it and consider all food to be NORMAL...but no...I have my own way of enjoying food....FOOD...food...yuummm!! Think Dosa and Gobi Manchuri were the best things to happen for food!
14. Like to keep in touch with friends...would go an extra mile to keep connected with them...a fact that I am very proud of...still meet up with my kindergarten and school buddies, every week near school, and play a game of cricket or just hangout...keep in constant touch with the Jundk gang...and lots of friends from office too! So end up making a customised phone book which has to fit in my wallet...cant buy it off the shelf as they are too small for my list!
15. Cant ride a two wheeler in Bangalore traffic...Nuts! Have been trying since six years...seems soo complicated and not worth the effort...So that makes for good public transport sense (can come up with a BMTC/BTS trivia list)...Also makes me street smart...literally...know the lanes/by-lanes/back-lanes/gullies of B'lore in-out!! Ask Vibe about my navigation skills...
16. Speaking of Bangalore...just love the city!!!Looking to go back to its sights and sounds...
17. Like History and Geography...something which always fascinated me as a kid...so when I travel I would like to know the history and facts about the place! And thus this makes Travelling an automatic entry into my 'Things I like list'...i wonder if there are people in the world who do not like to travel and see places??? i hope not...
18. Never liked reading FAT novels...but recently...things have changed...and it is never too late to start!
19. Never drink Coffee / Tea at home...but then put me in CoffeeDay/Starbucks/Blenz/any Cafe...can drink forever if a good topic is in the air and the topic is a slightly debatable one!! (forms the core principle of the 18th Cross Malleshwaram Coffee Day gang - Sunil, Charlie, Vibe, Nithi, Santu)
20. phew...last one or what? now let me see, have I missed something major...? I shall leave the last point for my buddies to fill in...they know me better than I do myself! :-))
So a small peek into me...a good way to start blogging!?
so finally whom do i take the revenge on??? lets TAG Sunil and Vid

finally ..
u have kept ur promise of returning to the blog world ..
will be interesting to see the last point penned in ..
as I said .. your Point #20 should be the fact taht you actually gave up drinkin Coke n Pepsi .. and went swadeshi .. only Mazaa .. that has changed ... any reason why ?? :-D
Hi Sath,
Point 8 make me feel lucky. ;-)
It is high time u learn to drive either 2/4 wheeler.
Point 20 should be ur new hobbies - snowboarding and ice skating.
Some more points for you to think about:
Love for Railways n love for Planes? Remember the Air Shows? :-D
Love to walk?
Wash n iron your clothes yourself? (I still find that an amazing thing to do in India!)
Mr. Know-all?? You knew everybody around in college and everybody knew you! :-D Six degrees of separation can be changed to 3-4 degrees just for you.
Love to talk on the phone? Nan n you can fight it out for the title!
You're kinda afraid of the dark, aren't you? ;-)
Have a Fundoo brother? (Hey Rohith!)
Ha Ha! #10 makes me ROTFL!! Can't forget that night where we treated you to an overdose of Tusshar KApoor on ETC tv!! :-)))
Still remember the name of the movie?? ;-)
Btw, what about your book collection - Tinkle, Sportstar, NatGeo? No mention of that? And as other pointed out, a mention of railways is sorely missing!
Writing notes with multi-colored pens? :-D
About your photography skills, well, I can say I learn a lot from you. For further comments on that, I gues s Charlie and Sups should tell you :-)
Hi Sathwick
You like reading? Have you read Brokeback Mountain yet?
We've got to eat more ice cream in the cold again.
-Gavin
Point # 20. He knows every F**king house/road there was, is and ever will be in B'lore. Period.
Sath!
One of the best I have seen kano.. :) You deserve a hug for just going 'Yeppa...8 points...and my brain is drained...! kaapppaaadii!'... wonder how many times I have heard you say yeppa.. :)))
I know your love for Gerberas... but I have a query - why?
Foodie who does not cook much aa? Take snaps of all that you eat / cook as well na.. :D
Look forward to seeing you write more.
Love,
Me
How about an endless capacity for vague conversations about all things vague?
Totally mental huh!
And how about talking to random people like you've known them for a ton of years?
Sups
Hey sath...
I just read your 20 things.
To anyone else,
He is one of the most amazing chaps I will ever know. Initially I used to find him to be irritating, but all the things he does are indeed amazing. One of the 2 chaps whom I know are amazing in the way they live. (Uday is the other).
Great to know you da....:)
