Indyeah’s Tag
I have been tagged by dear old Indyeah and actually she had me thinking; on whether I had to answer them seriously or be foolish and silly in my answer……. coz i am bad at this!!!
Sorry for the delay Indyeah, coz my project work reached its apogee this week (will talk about that in another post).
What she has asked for is basically a peek into this ordinary guy’s world and I will try to answer this tag sitting in my room!!!!
(All photos taken by this ordinary guy now for this Tag or at some point in his life)
So here goes……………….
The questions were:-
1. Your age on your next birthday
I will be 26 on 27/11/09. I just hope we do not have another 26/11 like last time.
2. A place you’d like to travel to:
It will always be the trek from Erumeli to Sabarimala during the peak season. A 45 km trek through the jungle, barefoot that is . I have done it a couple of times but I would love to do it again. Lord Ayyapan is not important for me in this trek. It is hard to explain, but the simple answer I can give is that, the word “ME” is forgotten in those 2-3 days. I am just another face in those countless faces on the trail. Everybody refer to each other as Swami. There are no differences between us; no caste, no religion, no monetary background, no language. We are all just simple humans who undergo that pilgrimage. All of us have our own reasons for doing this but we all strive to be good human beings in that trip.

I love your credo a lot!its amazing how evryone's credo says so much about them…this one seems made for you..:)
I am happy !no need to give yourslef more work..:)
thank you for doing it so wonderfully well:)
I am sorry to dissapoint you Indyeah, but Sabarimala does not allow Women….. 😦 the rule sucks……
I love Chennai for its people and my family…. and if you want beaches, you need to go to Kerala…. The cleanest ones you will find ….
Yeah, it was a rainy day and as usual, we were all doing nothing important…. just drinking Tea and wasting time…. 🙂
you def. need to see Kavalam…. that much i can say… with a local guide, the better….
Maggi coz it is the easiest to make 🙂
Yeah, lungi Ki jai!! comfort first always!!!!
Listen to that song….. brilliant song…..
I have worked with kids but only for 3 months!! so i did not forget much 😛
Thanks about credo part… and yeah, i love anything which lets me see Mother Earths beauty….
Thank for your certificate!!
what???it sucks bigtime man!!:(:(
:(will find out more on this…:(
anyway you are most welcome:)loved reading it..:)
hey Indyeah, the story is that “Ayyapan” who resides in sabarimala is a bachelor God….
That is why only guys who live a chaste life of 41 days are supposed to go there….
I think it is high time, they lifted these rules regarding women….
but let me tell you one thing…..
you would not wanna do it…for hygienic reasons!!!!
lakhs of people…, a single river called pampa to provide water…..
you get the pic right…..
when you find the dream job, ping me too !!! bhai !
Ajit…if your favourite song is a sentimental, soulful one that is nearly double your age, there is something you have left behind in India…. That song is something.
Errr…suddenly I don’t feel like going on that trek…:D
And heard that song!beautiful is what it is..:)
LOL @Kumbhkaran!!
And it’s a great idea to add your own pics here 🙂
ok Dhirubhai…. 🙂
I am still in the quest…..:)
Vinod Sir,

I thank god that it has NOT YET become a tourist stop….
The beauty in Kerala lies in such places….

Very interestingly done, Ajit 🙂
I like that bit about Magi… my elder son and his course mates used to have it in their cabin at NDA… on a hot iron, in a steel mug n all.. lol!
So I can understand that, of course, but in your case it must be different… lol!
@Dream job.. 🙂

Enjoyed reading this!
very interesting:), I also love Chennai, and Shamu..that show in Seaworld is the best i have seen so far, even the pet show there:)
And same for yhe fear of being dependent on others.
Love the way the bike is shot …
i love maggi too – for taste and like an diet for fever -sore throat ..
And i love Kerala during the monsoons …
yeah Usha… Maggi is gods gift to bachelors…
and yes, hope i go to sabarimala soon…
Thanks Renu, so that means we are alike…:)
yes IHM, i absolutely second everything you say… 🙂 Kerala in monsoons is just “Fantastic”
Ajit, That was original and interesting. Own pictures no copyright jhanjaal.
Just when we were planning to ban all Lungi clad guys to save our culture………LOL LOL
Kerala is beautiful and esp. Kerala women. They are pretty :)):))
Kumbhakarnaaaa.
ban kungis…. 🙂
the main reason why i dont like the shiv sena is because they started a “Anti Lungi” campaign.. LOL
yeah, Mallu women are beautiful… 🙂
I have to accept that… 🙂
but unfortunately not one of them ever liked me… 😛
Dude, you changed the rule of this tag completely. You are supposed to place the images from google. But I must admit, by this way, the tag is unique and unpredictable.
LOL at Lungi,are you serious??? and the pictures were funny too.
and for all the snaps, you arent an ordinary guy as mentioned!
Thanks Vimu and I am serious about the lungi part…. LOL
Ajit, You are tagged again for something else 🙂
Dude this is awesome, all the images are great 🙂 Originality rules.
I too love Chennai, Specially the Besant nagar beech
Enjoyed the tag and we both would like to have same pet.
yeah, we would like the same pet…. 🙂
and yes, besant nagar beach is awesome…..
Hey Ajit.. I loved this post too.. very interesting…and such a coordinated effort to get all the pics just right for each of questions in the tag.. really cool 🙂
It was fun reading this one. So you are a software engineer too! 🙂
Thanks yamini…. 🙂
Amit,
