I

I was tagged by Milo for this quiz. It is to write 20 things about me. So here you go!

  • I am a slow eater. With a book and TV ON, once I spent around 4 hours (this is my record) eating my lunch. These days I can’t manage such long hours for food and hence I eat less.

  • I love books. In fact I have a personal collection of more than 200 books. When I was in Mumbai, the major part of my salary was used up in that way.

  • I am a perfectionist. I don’t mind spending hours and hours to rectify the smallest of the faults in something which I am doing.

  • I think a lot. In fact my mind can’t stay idle. Something or the other will tinker in my mind every time and I keep thinking about those; on and on.

  • I love solitude. I had a favorite location near my flat in Mumbai where I used to go when I become emotional.

  • I am committed in all my relationships. I stay with my friends till the end. And I can’t stand it when I realize that nothing of that sort is there from the other side.

  • I forgive but never forget. When I face something awful from a person, similar things he/she had done to me in the past come to my mind all of a sudden.

  • I am child like. Many of my friends say so and sometimes, I don’t think they are wrong.

  • I am a brand freak. I like to own branded items and I don’t mind paying a premium for those.

  • I am a lazy person in general but when I am faced with really demanding situations, I slog my ass off to achieve that.

  • I am a sensitive person. But yeah this changed a lot these days; may be due to those experiences which I had gone through.

  • I am friendly with everyone. I have very good relationships with others. People find it comfortable talking to me. And usually I am approached for favors.

  • I am sarcastic and witty and I bring smiles in gatherings. I have a very good sense of humor.

  • I am caring & believe me; my PM told me many times that I will make a good husband ;-)

  • I am candid and I like others also being open. I don’t mind others saying things openly to me even if it is for denying me something.

  • I am one damn lucky guy. Whenever I feel like my way is blocked, something or the other will happen and I will be through.

  • I like to learn new languages. This was my craze when I was young and I maintained a diary of alphabets and words of many languages. I tried to learn Arabic, Russian, German, Greek, Kannada, Marathi and Japanese but failed half way through. I know Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, English and French.

  • I hate contests because I hate competing with others and hence I had always kept myself away from competitions. In fact I am trying to change this now.

  • I know cooking. Well, I just start making dishes and somehow it will turn good at the end. Once in a while I cook dinner in my home, giving a break to my amma.

  • I am a leftist in my ideologies. But I don’t believe in left politicians or in fact politicians of any kind. Why doesn’t India be ruled by an able CEO and a bunch of zealous managers? India would’ve been one of the top most countries in the world then. Now you know my take.

  • I was a social activist and will be one, after this hiatus.
People I would like to take this quiz are, AF, Invincible, Sinusoidally, Geo and Chips. Guys its not binding. But I wish you people shall take this... :-)

jithu ,CEO rulers, selction is here,

" Well, if you look at the founders of Infosys — Narayana Murthy, myself and five other colleagues — we were all from middle-class, humble backgrounds. And all of us with some kind of links in our early days... with a Leftist kind of a background... At IIT, we were all Leftists. Murthy was a Leftist. So, we are really Leftists-turned-capitalists "

Infosys CEO Nandan Nilekani

that was great.. u knw what, i too was a leftist in my college days.. and during my campus interviews donno how the person who interviewed me asked me abt my ideologies. after knowing my left inclination he asked me, with leftist ideologies in my mind, hw can i serve a company which believes solely in capitalism.. i replied like this, leftism is not a bad thing, if u think like that. that is the reason why India is a mixed economy that has taken many aspects from socialism as well as capitalism.. Being an Indian and hence having a fairly good knowledge about capitalism coupled with my knowledge in socialism, i think i can serve ur company better.. fraud reply huh!! ;-)) Happy Deepavali..

Ganja Turtle said...

Not bad at all...quite surprised to see that there are people who read Proust around...Essence of u was too "metrosexually" sensitive so preferred to skip over it...however your other blogs were cool...esp the one proust/making ice cream - if it had become jus a bit more cornier, would be ideal for a tamil movie scene...but thankfully isnt...probably cuz it genuine...Cheers!

Ganja Turtle said...

Uh oh...metrosexually sensitive didnt refer to "essence of u" - rather that 2o things abt me quiz...

EATING SLOW....guess we have one common trait.. food is to be enjoyed... even I eat slow.. I am always the last to finsh... maybe its also to got to do with the fact that I talk a lot too in the midst.
