The Alicious tag...

Was tagged by alice to write 25 random things about myself.I already owe her some royalty with regards to her name,which I have no plans of paying :)... And add to it when on bench boredom just kills you...Thanks to this tag it helped me to while away some time. Here it is..

[Seriously I did not get any other image for "25" :P]

1. I hate watching movies. I feel it's a waste of 3hours, especially the normal commercial fare which doesn't add anything to my creative self.

2. My idea of a start-up is starting my own religion or at least an ashram

3. I am what they call a metro sexual. I don't mind folks calling me that,I take care of my hair and skin so that I don’t end up bald or wrinkled when am in late 30s. Metro sexual is better than being addressed as the wrinkled bald man :D

4. I love to get high and stoned ,but sadly my capacity has quadrupled of late and in my last binge drinking attempt even 4 large rounds of Smirnoff didn't shake or stir me. Some serious issue.

5. Am a crazy fan of govinda and I believe he is the true desi style Icon. I wore costumes of same color as he did once, and they quarantined me in college..hmph

6. BIG time narcissist. I have a two mirrors in my room, one in the workplace and even my bike's rear view mirror is focused on my face.

7. I am crazy about Rakhi Sawant,Paris hilton and Sambhavna seth..I know most of you would be cleaning your tongues after reading out these names..but..well serious issue no-2

8. There are times I get up and move to some place/room and turn blank..I totally forget the reason for going there. Trust me it's very embarrassing, especially if it's the loo at office.

9. I am totally mesmerized by people of Mongoloid origin[guess addressing them as chinky is racist,some of them said it hurts].I find them cute and adorable. I just get rooted to where I am and start ogling at girls and babies of Mongoloid origin. In fact a few times was doing that at guys too...ok ok serious issue no-3. Gosh whats this tag doing to me..making me feel like rushing to get an appointment with psychiatrist

10. I don't overtake or race ahead of lady drivers who overtake me. I find that totally amateurish and immature.

11.I love surprising myself, like doing something totally wacky once a while. Enrolling in guitar classes was one of them and not going to it regularly wasn't too surprising :)

12.I think I am the master of spoofs. I can write a spoof of any movie/book and can claim confidently that it would make people laugh.

13. I hate homophobics..I mean why do people feel threatened by what a person does in his/her bedroom. That that man/woman that that preferences. We have more dangerous people at lose in the society than homosexuals.

14. I have more break-ups than the number of fingers in my hand :D

15....Yeah 15 is the number of approximate breakups so far and counting !!!

16. I want to become famous because I wish to write an autobiography.

17. I dream to live like Rudyard Kipling.

18. I am nowhere like my blog. I mean people build an image of me after reading my blog only to surprise themselves by running into a self-indulgent, silent guy.

19. At any given point of time my mind would be thinking of 5 different things on a parallel processing mode.

20. Give me a computer with AOE and internet I would be sitting there till eternity.

21. I hate being neutral in times of a crisis. I believe in this saying "The hottest corners of hell are saved for those who are neutral in times of crisis"

22. Many[especially girls] find me rude, haughty, arrogant and high-headed...actually I like being called that :-)

23.When I am passionate about something I get overconfident about my abilities to do it. To the extent that I go on to say even if all the actors fall sick I will play every role in the play and make it a hit :)

24. I am a big time egoistic bum who is hyper sensitive[though I seldom exhibit it]. Someone doesn’t reply to my mails or doesn’t return my hi or hello. I mark them and post their name in my to-be-assassinated-soon list.

25. I never have my shoe laces tied.

If you are bored or suffering from blogger's block or want to tell something more about yourself to your blog reader's I request you to take this tag up.

Liar...Liar

I have had this chronic lying ability [or is that a disability] right from….hmmm..well my birth I suppose. Thought of writing a post to share it .

Let me take you back in time, to my primary schooling days…now now..no need to go as far as 1947. It was the mid 80s and I was in my 2nd grade. The talk of the town was a movie called “enter the dragon”, Bruce lee’s personality, stunts, fights were the things every kid in my class was talking about. Not to be left behind I bluffed to the kid sitting next to me that I had seen enter the dragon thrice. That was it…some five boys surrounded me and were begging to tell the story of the movie. So there I was narrating the story of a movie, which I had not even seen in posters.

The movie started off in a dark forest with streaks of light passing through the trees…on one side was the deadly, beastly, ugly looking dragon spitting fire and on the other side our cool and whacky Bruce lee ready to kick its ass … Until my 6th grade when I finally did see the actual movie I never knew enter the dragon did not feature a dragon at all. How misleading the titles of Hollywood movies are for young impressionable minds.

So my story, rather, my graphic story telling became quite famous and I had boys surrounding me during lunchtime, intervals, even games period and listening to it. Not just my class kids but kids from other sections and even from 3rd grade were in queue. Every time I tell the story there would be a new point added probably inspired by some latest tamil movie I saw..like murattukalai or a thambikku endha ooru.

Desi twists were added so that my listeners could relate more. So we had the dragon killing Bruce lee’s family ….his father who was a honest cop in forest department, mother, sister brother et al…and Bruce lee was taking revenge on it. Kills all the dragon’s henchmen…err… I mean henchdragons and then goes on to kill the main villain dragon in the grand climax.

Incidentally there was a guy from 3rd grade who had seen the actual movie and told to my listeners that there were no dragons in the movie…But…none…not even one of my listeners believed him…In fact I am sure even if Bruce lee had personally turned up and told them the real story they would not have believed it. Reminds me of a Winston Churchill quote ..“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on”.

Another incident, which I remember, took place during my 4th grade. That was the first time we started using pens. From boring wooden pencils to pens of different colors, shapes and models, every kid was excited. Here started my new game. As per the rules of the game we should sprinkle ink on a small sheet of paper and then fold into eight. When we open it Lo! And behold the abstract sketch of what we were in our past life will be revealed. Only catch is the pattern can be deciphered by the one and the only – Yours truly the holy nautanki baba. All my classmates used to bring their piece of paper to me, I just connect those sprinkled ink dots to make a figure and conclude that the person was something. Since I was good in psychology I dealt it efficiently. All my girl followers were rabbits, peacocks, birds and other sweet n cute things,., and the boys used to be lions, tigers and dragons. Of course the class bullies were made pigs and dogs.

This game went on for almost a month. Until one fine day when the class teacher got hold of me. The rest as they say was history. I was made to stand on a bench and my teacher gave a lecture on superstitions. I tried to argue with her and even offered her my new ink pen and a piece of paper to prove I am right. She was a hard customer I say.

I better save my other exploits for more posts..probably can have sequels.. As a saying goes “He who cannot lie does not know what truth is”. In fact all my lies were a journey to find the truth. Do you believe me?
