Randomnophobia...

Saw the long queues in front of temples yesterday and suddenly felt a whiff of fresh air blowing on me alone. There are advantages of being an atheist seriously, I need not be bothered about
  • The Big eye watching me from the sky
  • The kurma..err..Karma of all my actions
  • Availbility of virgins in heaven
  • What I am gonna be in my next birth
  • Santaclaus getting me a gift
  • Memorizing!! Hell I can't mug up to save my life. Can give rest to my weak brain which is bad at these. Need not mug up religious scriptures, especially when there are more than hundred versions of them around.
  • Long queues. Finally I can relax on festival days, have a drink with friends, spend time with family - more priceless than spending time the long winding queues to get darshans.

Abar had tagged me for the "All in fours" tag...so here I go

4 places I go over and over:

  1. The cubicle in right end corner of my floor(Made friends with the guy who sits there, so I can go meet him and also take a look at my latest green eyed crush :P)
  2. Mirchi - A restaurant near my place, love the food and the hospitality.
  3. Office cafetaria :)
  4. Well...not sure if i have any more.. probably the loo :P

4 people who e-mail me regularly

  1. All my PG classmates n rebelz folks
  2. Some blog friends
  3. Ex-colleagues
  4. Off late my HR

4 of my favorite places to eat

  1. The mirchi one I mentioned
  2. Opel inn
  3. Cascade
  4. The nameless fastfood shop near my place which is open till 2 AM

4 places you’d rather be NOW

  1. My college
  2. My previous company-to make the folks who are being pink slipped laugh and bring a smile with my somewhat tolerable sense of humor.
  3. In front of my computer playing Age of Empires
  4. In some rave party :)

4 TV shows I could watch over and over

  1. Seinfeld
  2. Medical Detectives
  3. World's scariest places
  4. Mr.Bean

4 movies I could watch over and over

  1. Mambo kings
  2. Roja
  3. Ace ventura series
  4. Thillu mullu

4 people I hope will respond

I believe in a Higher existence but don't visit temples, as opposed to my family's beliefs. My mother & I tend to bicker a lot about this topic!

rauf said...

if you wear a black cap you become invisible to God Nattu Nautank. You can have all the khurma you want and all the virgins of your street. But see that the cap doesn't slip out of your head. i am just wondering what this God is. why has he taken so much of work on his shoulders ?. poor chap this god is, i really feel sorry for HIMMM.

Tarun Goel said...

Atheism, Rave Party and Pink Slips, interesting stuff :D

Ruth said...

Don't worry, rauf feels sorry for George Bushee too.

I like what you said about not believing in God. I haven't decided yet, holding on to a slim thread. But what difference does it make? It makes no difference if I believe or not.

You are funny.

Thank you thank you. Who won't like Roja,it's such a brilliant and touching movie.

*sniff* Rightu! Btw, I just wrote a blog on good memories from College days(im still in college though) n im getting an evil idea of converting it into a tag and tagging bloggers who I just got to know *cough cough* And add a curse with the tag for those who dont do it in a week. What say? :P

Nautankey said...

Revathi,
Sounds like a good idea.All old people like me wud feel young for some time :D.And U still in college..cool..Wish I too was college student ala tamil film comedians.Recently attended a computer course,which mostly had college students, felt like ajith in aegan :)

I know abt curse of mummies,but curse if no tags...hmmm.. Let it be something like I wud go back to college days if I aint doing it :D.

Anonymous said...

Ha ha. I have a standard curse for bachelor guys. Aana being the self-respecting Thamizhachi that I am, adhellam public la solla mudiyaadhu :D Lol!

Nautankey said...

Ada da Romba periya manasu :). Can imagine the curse,show mercy ..atleast after reading my lost art of wooing post :P

Anonymous said...

Cha, coin boy!(Chilra paiyan) Rombo chinna pulla thanama yosikreenga. My curse has got nothing to do with wooing. I'll tell u about my curse if we ever get to catch up on chat.

Nautankey said...

Thank god thappichein..but ur blaag does not have any mail id of urs[or did i miss it] to catch up
