25 Random Things About Me...

I put this up on facebook, because I was tagged in this silly game where one needs to mention 25 things about themselves.... I'm sharing this here too....


1) I’m doing this not for putting these things up here or letting the world know about myself, but for the sheer pleasure of self discovery!!!

2) I’m an emotional fool, I love people and things very easily, I get attached to them too soon, but I CANNOT express how I feel about them…

3) I really respect women a lot… Mom, aunt, grandma and few of my best friends…. Basically all the people I’ve been closest to are women!!

4) I think my school days were the best times of my life, I wish I could go back to school…

5)I think leadership is all about converting people’s potential into performance… I think I am a good leader…

6)An ideal start to my day is spending an hour uninterrupted on the pot with my three newspapers Times of India, Economic Times & DNA :-)

7) I think, having bought my mom a fully automatic LG washing machine from my savings is my biggest achievement till date.

8) I love talking to people on the phone, especially in the night, somewhere down the line I picked up this habit and now I feel restless and at times & don’t get sound sleep without talking on the phone.

9) A walk at the Marine Drive sea face is my biggest stress buster..

10) I am a hopeless romantic. I love SRK. I am a HUGEEE fan of Yash Chopra movies. I dream of walking at the sea face on a windy monsoon evening, hand in hand with my wife and my daughter in a pram!!

11) I guess the biggest achievement for any man is to find a loving partner who cares for him and with whom he can spend the rest of his life happily.

12) I am quite a people’s person, I know for sure that whatever I’ll do for a living, will have something to do with people, be it HR or Law or something random… I really don’t know.

13) I really think, All men are what they think women really are, and all women are what men have always wanted to be!

14) I am extremely spiritually inclined, I believe in God, I feel that truthful a prayer does get answered. I am also an eternal optimist.

15) I love my music. I really like devotional music. Indian folk, ghazals, smooth romantic classics, Indian classical music and sufi music really stirs my soul. I have an uncanny liking towards all songs having the word “Rabba / Rab” in the lyrics.

16) I love ice creams, Im especially crazy about raspberry duet & go mad about choco nut.

17) My favourite beverage would be an ice cream soda or an apple juice.

18) I’ve cried in a lot of movies… I still remember Khamoshi & Black!!!

19) I’m sure that the happiest day of my life would be the day I become a father!... (Oh I so identify with Steve Martin in Father of the bride!!)

20) I think the best of the TV shows are all now sadly off air, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Zaban Sambhalke, Wonder Years…… wish they showed all these again instead of stupid reality shows!!

21) If I ever had to propose to a girl, I’d do it by singing, Ronan Keating’s “It’s amazing how you, can speak right to my heart….”

22) Some of my most favourite possessions are my books, I love reading them, I truly get inspired by them. My mood, thoughts and actions are influenced by what I read.

23) My favourite pastime besides, teaching, reading, writing, blogging, sea face walking and talking on the phone is to sing to myself, either in the bathroom or in my balcony. I also dream of being a bestselling author someday!!

24) I am a keen follower of Indian politics and nurture a secret ambition of being a mainstream politician one day. I also think I’d make a rather good one!!

25) I love myself, I loved myself even more when I was a kid. I think I was the cutest kid ever, I also modeled for Femina when I was three, I still have the clipping.

26) I love defying rules. What the hell, I’ll put down a 26th point too. I am at times very insecure, I feel I have no friends and I am extremely lonely. I sit at home and sulk sometimes on weekends. In short I just need to be told that ...I’m loved :-)
