Idiosyncratic Me

Been tagged by Asbah and Aditi to write 25 random facts, goals or quirks about myself...now there's one daunting task if there was ever one but then as looking the challenge in the eye is the name of the game:D, I hereby try to pen down a silver jubilee list about the eccentric moronic self that I am.

#1. I am a very usual, perfectly common human being and you will be sure to find many like me in every walk of life.

#2. I wish to one day live the life that I envisage for me and my family...for me my family is much more important to me than I myself would ever be.

#3. I am not an introvert but I take some time to warm up to people...once that small matter is taken care of I generally tend to bring the house down.


#4. I thrive on leg pulling...in fact there have been instances when people have sort of requested for my services in regards to pulling someone's leg:D

#5. I have this disturbingly appalling habit of planning to study everyday and then putting it off for tomorrow...this has been happening since time immemorial and this monotone is forcibly broken only on exam preceding days.

#6. I am in love with the feeling of being in love...I believe that love is the the fuel of life...you need to love to live...it's as simple as that. I know that love when it ends seems to be the crappiest thing ever but there is no denying the fact that experiencing being in love is probably the best experience ever. [ am not talking about 2 week flings here, mind you]

#7. I am in love with English...I had always wanted to graduate with English as my main subject but that was supposedly not a very viable option economically and thus remains one of the many uncherished dreams buried in the sepulchre of my heart. It's another matter that I think Urdu is the most beautiful and poignant language.

#8. I often am left with the feeling of friends not living upto my expectations...but that is only because I sort of expect too much out of them...to be fair, am blessed with some great friends.

#9. Most girls that I talk with tell me that they are very sure of me having a steady girlfriend and this flummoxes me to no end...the fact that it reduces my chances considerably hardly helps too...Ohh n just for the record, I don't have a steady girlfriend...hell, I don't even have an unsteady girlfriend for that matter:D

#10. I am musically inclined...more so I sing pretty decently enough and I memorize the lyrics of a song in double quick time.

#11. I have always wanted to be part of a stage act...be it in the form of a theater group or a dance troupe...sadly, my stage run ins have so far been limited to school acts only.

#12. I am not at all happy with my life as of now...I think there are too many problems beseeching it, I think it is going nowhere and I think I have spent my life in a pretty pathetic way...yet I love it just for being there.

#13. I am in a seemingly endless pursuit of happyness...I have learnt to appreciate the small outbursts of joy that spring up out of randomness...am still to learn that it's these moments that make the happy picture that life is rather than some great big happiness engulfing you.

#14. I love my religion and am sure that if the true picture is shown to the whole world, everyone else would too...it's just that the world is judging the car based on the driver and the drivers like me are mostly reckless, ignorant and highly error-prone.

#15. I am an absolute freaking lazybones if there ever was one...in fact, am pretty sure about the fact that this term was coined in English prose just to define me.

#16. I think Manchester United are the best club in the history of world football and Md. Rafi the greatest voice to have ever sung a song.

#17. I am someone who does try to help others, sometimes even at my own expense and while I think that is absolutely silly and idiotic of me, I still continue to do it.

#18. I have this habit of bonding very deep with some people way too quickly and more often than not this leads to bitterness as the other person is not that quick:D

#19. When am feeling down or am in a bad mood, my writing skill disappears too...in fact I sometimes measure my feeling of despondency by trying to write and a blank page is testimony to a pretty fucked up state of mind.

#20. Most people think that I don't look good with this goatee of a beard that I have but I am way too attached to it now to do away with it.

#21. I am a very good listener...probably that is the reason that many friends seek me out when they have somethings to say out. However, I don't like to listen to myself and no one else has as patient an ear...so I write:)

#22. I think snowfalls is as good a romantic setting that you could ever get but a slight drizzle in the same climate beats even that.

#23. I am competitive by nature...a challenge fires me up, if you ever want me not to do something, just make it seem easy for me and am sure to get lax.

#24. I think an eye for an eye may make the whole world blind but it's non-application will surely lead to the first person losing his other eye as well...moral being you have to retaliate and stand up...leave the Gandhigiri to the Munnabhai movies.

#25. I spend most of the day imagining myself to be in Middle Earth fighting Sauron's Nazguls and most of the night fighting the new evil Lord on the magical horizon, Lord Potter himself:D

Phew...that was tough!!!
Now the fun part...so, I tag
