20 Things - The Virtual Tag

well had to happen .. in the blog world, you get tagged.
Got tagged by Doooka(what had I done to you girl !!) and here I am visiting the Blog world after a small hiatus ..
Below points are in no particular order .. and might contain information that make you go "I knew he was like that" or "what??!! Him ?" or for the more literary types "et tu !"
so here are 20 things about me .. which I think therefore I know about me

1)Hate filling forms; Paperwork was never my cone of Bhuel Puri .. and given a choice would barter my bank application forms, drivers license forms, illegal alien working as a specialised skilled worker form (h1 and L1 etc etc) with my favourite roadside snack. Just cannot get myself to have the patience to fill the simplest of forms !

2)Hate sleeping during the daytime .. especially on weekends :-D. Period.

3)Bad Bad handwrting. Was devising ways of cramming in as much as possible in small spaces of parchment, only to realise shorthand was already in use. Stopped all other ideas of patenting I had in mind. Hell,I would automatically create a bad enough font by just typing long enough on a keyboard :-P

4)Cant sing, dance a li'l. First was a dissapointment to my mom who croons a bit !

5)Believe in Chivalry and gentalmanly conduct :-P

6)Learn and pick up stuff by watching .. especially sports. Have this knack, makes me pretty good sportsy person ..

7)Pretty abd at spelling .. not sure why! Not terribly bad but not as good as I would like myself to be :-(

8)Know 5 languages, Can read and write faily well in 4 of them.

9)Not Photogenic :-|

10)Good eye for capturing shots .. or atleast thats what I think and ppl have been too nice to tell me otherwise.

11)Despite my build , ie short and stocky, pretty flexible and athletic ..
(now now .. I can already see ppl snickering !!)

12)Surprised myself by turning out to be pretty adept in the Kitchen.. cook a variety of vegetarian dishes .. not iron chef kinds .. but nonetheless edible and a couple of dishes are well appreciated... including Bhel Poori .. (keep coming back to that !)

13)At one time thought Egg Puff was the best thing God made. Then it was Bun Omlette. Both these were from a small roadside bakery near college !!
(Do I see wise head nodding in agreement? :D and some salivating palettes)

14)Cant remember Dates. Am "chronologically challenged" !! When my friends say they remember their neighbour's dog's bday I think they are a bit mental.
Regret - dont even rem my folks Bday's and aniv :-((

15)I have not watched the movie Sholay !!

16)Dont like SRK, Tendulkar, cheese and chocolates :-P Go figure !!

17)Couldn't finish Fountainhead
(whew !! almost there .. just a couple more ... !)

18)Have the capacity to eat realy spicy food

19)Just cant lose wt, cant say have tried much .. but dont see much of a result for the effort I put in... so Quit ... :-D

20)I am a nonconformist.

Well there you have it .. my confession ..
some might feel this is too superficial ?? that it might be .. but am sure it has still opened up windows to have a peek inside me ...
and as the tradition goes .. I tag Trashpan and Slap-Dash to do the honours.
Both should be plenty to look forward to :-D


PS: Point #7 above .. isnt it ironic? Genuine mistake which I didnt bother to correct !
