25 random things about me

Nobody....oh woe...nobody tagged me for this one. but today i have the enthusiasm of a sea slug when i think abt the work i need to do.

sooo....tag time!!
25 things abt me...which u..the non-existent reader of this blog never knew and cant believe u never knew. (oh my God i never realised she is this awesome cool person!! what have i missed??!!)

1. I loooove the beach. I can spend hours watching the waves and my idea of a perfect time is walking along the edge of the water...and picking seashells. That i donot have the time or money to do this very often is just ...well...umm...reality.

2. Quite related to pt #1, I was terrified of the sea, swimming pools and all other water bodies till i was about 9. A couple of years living in the Carribean totally changed that :)

3. I'm good at keeping in touch with old friends. I'm usually the link between different ppl in the group who have lost touch with each other.

4. I hate kundru ki sabji. It does strange things to my foodpipe and well...urrggghhh.

5. My parents and sis are very talented when it comes to music. I am not. I can carry a tune fairly decently...but thats more or less it.

6. I wish i was better at it though :\

7. I look down upon ppl who say " one night at a call centre" and " five point something" are their favourite books. My first thought is...I'm sure those are the only 2 you've ever read.

8. I also totally look down upon ppl (men and women) who think its a virtue to have never entered their own kitchen. I strongly believe being able to feed yourself is a essential survival skill...and boiling maggi qualifies as cooking in my book.

9. Since we're on a roll here...pessimists...i dont like you all that much. Make that not at all. If whining is all you're good at...you might as well give up and make space for others.
Yeah...elegant, mature, snobbish and judgemental...thats me.

10. I wanted to be a physiotherapist.

11. I actually ended up being an accountant. Very related...these two fields. I know.

12. I want to open my own flower shop one day :) Although i have (serious) doubts about my business acumen.

13. There is a long list of places i want to travel to and explore. Seriously LOONNNGGGG.

14. Spain and a volcano (err..dormant one) are on that list...as are Sikkim and the Andamans.

15. I'm a compulsive multitasker. just doing one thing at a time is a waste of precious time....i believe i get this trait from my Naani.

16. I adore my Naani...she's by far my favourite person ever!

17. This compulsive multitasking gets on the nerves of ppl around me.

18. I'm taller than all the bosses i've ever worked for ..save one. The secret juvenile kick i get out of looking down on them while speaking to them is welll...another sign of my grace, poise and maturity.

19. I'm quite a chatterbox with the ppl i'm very close to. To other ppl i come across as a staid, reserved, non-talkative person. i think. Heeehahaww.

20. man this list is taking forever...maybe i shd get back to work.

21. I have the patience of a saint when it comes to Indian Railways and the local trains of Hyd. Really. I am utterly comfortable in spending hours waiting for delayed trains...and manage to not get homicidal. This comes of years of experience and total lack of other choices.

22. I do not like ppl who try to force conversation in trains. You will mostly find me with my nose in a book and i can be very rude if you ask persistent questions about my personal life and 'beta aap working ho ki studying ho'?? 'woh aapke mister thei kya? hehehe.' Grrrrr.

23. Television doesnt interest me much. i spent many years not having time to watch any and now in a household of many adults...i never lay my hands on the remote.

24. In the rare times i do get the remote...i hold it in both hands and have to read the sign on each button to actually figure out what it does. it happens so rarely that i dont want to let gooo...i don wanna let goooo.

25. On the other hand...i'm really good with fixing stuck printers. My scientific methods include checking all connections and then pummelling and shaking the thing in significant acupuncture specified spots. I kid you not. I was the official printer fixer at my workplace.

Wheeee. 25 done :)
