Hitchwriter’s Tag

I have been tagged by Hitchwriter and here are the rules:

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

Warning: This is absolutely random and will not be interesting coz my life is dull and boring.
So thus we start:

1. I need my morning “piping hot” Coffee or Tea (never lukewarm) as soon as I wake up. The gears in my brain refuse to mesh without this stimulant!! My mom tells me that when I was young, I put my foot down one day and refused to have anything other than Filter kaapi and thus have been addicted to caffeine ever since!!

2. I absolutely hate waiting. I just cannot wait in the bus stop and I get mad if the bus is late.

3. I am absolutely bad at languages. I know around 6 languages but I can never consider myself good in any of them (Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, Telegu, Marathi, English).

4. I am a creature of habit. If I follow my routine, then this ordinary guy is happy in his little world.

5. The best compliment I have ever received was in my sixth standard in Chennai when my geography teacher told my parents that I know more than her!

6. I have this obsession with the vegetable, “Lady’s Finger”, or Vendakka as we call it down south. It was drilled into me at a young age that eating Vendakka is good for the brains and I have loads of it but it has never worked for me till now!!

7. I am complete foodie. I love food and I live to eat. There was a stage in my life when I used to have food 4-5 times a day. I can also proudly say that I can eat anything and everything. I tell people around me that, “Quantity is important, Quality is not” and I have an iron stomach which till now has digested everything, even food that has gone bad. (Touchwood).

8. People can be divided into two categories depending on how they react when they get angry. They either explode or implode. I implode with the power of a hydrogen bomb. When I get angry, it might not show on my face, but I implode and then get a headache.

9. The best days of my life were when I did my engineering. I lived with a monthly budget of 2300 Rupees and I am still amazed at the fun that we had. My semester fee was 600 Rs only!!! and I still cannot understand how people spend lakhs on getting a stupid engineering degree.

10. The four years of engineering were a blur, did not realize that until my final day at college. I was a proud “Royal Mech” (still am) and people and especially girls from other departments hated us because we thought that we owned the college.

11. Self realization that I was just another ordinary guy struck one fine day when I got caught for ragging in college and when I heard the principal and my HOD rubbish my character in front of my parents.

12. I have always been a rebel, a good rebel.

13. I can never cry. Many things move me in this world but never to the level of tears. Maybe it is a self defense mechanism but well, that is me.

14. I am mediocre in a lot of things. I have never been good at anything nor have I been bad.

15. I just have to visit and see people who I know. Talking over the phone is not good enough. Even if I go to my home town Chennai for the weekend, I spend all my non sleeping hours riding around town to visit all my friends and relatives.

16. I have had only a single major accident in my life till now. (Touchwood). It was on the last day of college and at three in the morning in the pouring rain, the bike rider, my best pal KJ managed to fall asleep!!! And I still have scars on my leg due to that accident. I can still vividly remember the scene. We were traveling at around 70 km/hr and we fell flat on the road. Both of us were drenched and I had to pick that idiot up who could not get up and drag him over the side!! The next day when I went back home, I told my parents that it was a football accident!!

17. I hate it when people talk about their religion or culture or language being the best.

18. I love football and table tennis.

19. There is only a single card game which I like playing and it is called “28” which is a rage in Kerala.

20. My favorite “movie star” will always be “Superstar Rajnikant”. I would like to see him act forever………………….

21. My favorite “movie actor” will always be Mohanlal. This ordinary guy thinks that there is not a better actor than him in India.

22. I am bad at remembering phone numbers, birthdays and names, but I cannot ever forget a face.

23. I love History; the history of the world, the history of humans and now thanks to wikipedia, I read a lot!

24. There are only a few people who call me “Ajit”. I have had so many nicknames that I have lost track of them. But the best one is by grandmother who calls me “A meat eating barbarian“…..LOL yeah we are veggies back home…. 🙂

25. Finally I think that the weekend should have three days and not two!!!!

🙂 And thus, I have summarized my boring life in 25 points.
Almost every blogger I know has already been tagged, so I am tagging everyone who wants to do this Tag.
