tag, i’m it. apparently.

Back after a hiatus. Have been tagged (damn you Navin Mangalat). Yeah, so i’ll make this as short and boring as possible.

Three things that scare me:

• Change (the phenomenon, not coins)
• Bovine Beasts (as a kid my ayah narrated to me an incredibly graphic bedtime tale of how she saw a man on the street outside our house get trampled to death by a raging bull. Needless to say, i didn’t sleep particularly well that night)
• Flight turbulence

Three people who make me laugh:

• Navin
• My 4 year old niece – Tarini (“The lion in the jungle eats rabbits, foxes and hyenas. All junk food.”)
• Bill Waterson (Well, Calvin isn’t really ‘people’, now is he?)

Three things I love:

• Daffodils. Well, Narcissi, to be accurate.
• The smell of a new book.
• ……… (oh come come, a decent boy doesn’t kiss and tell)

Three things I hate:

• ‘Slimy’ vegetables (brinjal, gourds, ladyfinger etc.)
• Dirty loos.
• Spiritual Gurus

Three things i don’t understand:

• Cricket mania
• Why Mark Wahlberg got an Oscar nomination for The Departed (Oscar Nominee Marky Mark. Really !?!)
• Love, life and everything else (profound?)

Three things on my desk:

• Lucy the Laptop
• A mug of steaming, black coffee
• Ermm, thats it. I have a pretty small desk.

Three things i am doing right now:

• Typing this (is this a trick question?)
• Drinking coffee
• Listening to Ella Fitzgerald belt out Mack the Knife.

Three things i want to do before i die:

• Earn shitloads of money. Get plenty of people to do stuff for me by making a promise to leave them all my wealth. Then give it all off to charity.
• Visit Japan. Dont ask, it’s just a thing that i have.
• Cure cancer…AIDS…whatever.

Three things i can do:

• Wiggle my ears
• Feign interest, in pretty much anything
• Drink and make merry

Three things you should listen to:

• Madonna’s Confessions On A Dance Floor album. Fabufuckinglous.
• Your conscience. It’s usually right.
• Satisfaction by Salil, Navin & Dhruv (thats me)

Three things you should never listen to:

• Liars (duh!)
• Your heart. No matter what Roxette tells you.
• Satisfaction by Britney Spears

Three things I’d like to learn:

• Parallel parking
• Japanese
• The saxophone

Three favourite foods:

• Cow
• Pig
• Goat

Three beverages i drink regularly:

• Water
• Coffee
• Cola (yes, i’m bored of this exercise now..i’ll make it quick)

Three TV shows/books I watched/read as a kid:

(wasn’t really a TV person, lets go with books)

• The first proper book i read was an abridged version of Around The World In Eighty Days

• The William Series by Richmal Crompton
• George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl (this one really cracked me up)

Three people I would like to tag:

• Nobody actually. I dont have much of a social life on the blogging circuit. I prefer to…’keep it real’.

Peace & Love… Man!
