I Am, Who i Am.

Phew! Done with one more Tag.
Usha, you need to stop tagging me so often, My boss gave me an ultimatum today, Either I work for him or work for you to finish your tags :o) Most of the responses below are instinctive, some i had to think and write.

I am: Just another guy trying to carve out a life from mere existence
I think: Sometimes. Most of the times I just do.
I know: that I have intentionally not wronged anyone.
I want: to get over my driving Phobia and Vrooom on the streets of the city!
I have: Good Friends. Great Family.
I wish: I could impress people more often. Most of my tries have been screw-up :-) he he.
I hate: Being misunderstood. But mostly this is the case.
I miss: My college days, my friends, Woh Bara aane ki cigarette shared by 7 people and one rupee ki cutting chai.
I fear: Dogs. Oh Gawd i do. I was chased by 3 huge strays when i was a kiddo and I have never been able to overcome this fear. I would keep a good 20ft distance from any canine
I hear: Noises Between My Ears, I call them thoughts. I write them Here (he he this my blog title from sooo long)
I smell: Burnt Electric cables. Honest, check the blog post previous to this below this.
I crave: For a big change in my life. Change for good of course. I am trying to make this happen too!
I search: My Soul. The Search always comes back with "No Rows Returned" Or "Page Cannot be found"
I wonder: What goes on in the mind of a terrorist who sits and watches the T.V footage of a young child maimed by the bomb they planted.
I regret: A Few things i did, A few things i did not. But nothing so much that i would want to go back and change them.
I love: My Books, My Music, My Beer, My Work. Necessarily in this order, not necessarily in this order when i am writing the truth.
I care: Two hoots about people who back bite, back talk. Etc etc.
I am not: The person people think I am in the first impression. First impressions of people who later became good friends are 1) you are so quiet; we thought you are a snob. etc etc
I believe: Jab Jab jo jo hona hai, Tab tab su su hota hai :-) i mean tab tab so so hota hai ! In short Que Sera Sera
I dance: With three legs
I sing: Along when songs are played on the TV / radio etc, by myself i usually whistle or hum the tunes.
I cry: But usually there are no tears.
I don’t always: Listen to Good Advice. I have a wrong notion that I am smarter than most of the beings who wish me good :-) But I’ve been proved so wrong so many times !
I fight: wHere it does not matter who wins.
I write: The nonsense, you good people are reading right now.
I win: Without cheating.
I lose: At gambling. Every time I have tried I have lost, Even in Vegas. Vegas owes me 44 USD.
I never: Give up. Unless I have tried and failed.
I always: Call a Spade a Spade. Well not because I want to, else how will you know if I am talking about a Spade?
I confuse: Left with Right and Right with Left ALWAYS. Good in a way that I have this driving phobia nai :-)
I listen: To Hindi Film Music. At least 4-5 hours a day. Current track on my laptop is "Maula Mere Maula" from Anwar.
I can usually be found: Biting my nails.
I am scared: That one day all this will be over.
I need: To switch on the search lights. Get some focus, Pause and re-start.
I am happy about: The fact that life has been good. So far so Good

It was so much fun doing this one. Thanks Usha. As usual I do not tag anyone in particular, but whoever reads this, should be doing this one. !

Reality Bytes

I've realised today that.....

• Not all the stupid jokes that i try go well with people, the blog post below this is one example. I cant believe most of you could not get the joke. NO ! Please dont ask me to explain. I hate that.
• Not replying to comments that you good people leave on my blog is a rude thing to do, and that people do not come back to blogs where comments are not replied to. Boo hoo ! I promise to be good, will reply to all the comments from now on. Please dont leave me !
• Not all people, for whom you intend only good,realise this fact. Its so sad that they dont trust you even when you mean no harm.
• Some people help, atleast attempt to help no matter what. Some people listen no matter what.
• I can manage talking in Kannada for a good 10 minutes, thats about till my word stocks last, and then i have to give up and switch to hindi or english.
• Free credit cards are available for 5000/- :-) Honest..No Jokes. Contact Barclays bank for further details.
• Girls are in a a clear majority, where my blog readership is concerned. No ! This is not a complaint :-) Just a realisation, Dont run away !!!! Please let all your friends know about my blog too :-)
• I have 4 tags pending, i think i am gonna outsource this, or delegate this. whatever is cheaper.
• Last, final and most recent realization for the day. There is smoke coming out of the electric junction near the water cooler couple of metres away from my desk, and the smoke detectors are doing nothing but sniffing the smoke. Saale Is office main sabhi Kamachor hain :-)

Better Late then Ever !!!

What is it about me and being early; I am early even when I am late.

Today I walked in to a video conference room at 2.10 for a meeting scheduled at 2.00 and Lo! I am the first one to walk into that empty room. And then within the next 3 minutes the whole room is abuzz! Where were all of them till 2.09? Hiding somewhere and waiting for me to get in? By the way, it’s not only about this meeting its true for any conference call that I am invited to. When I dial in I hear " Please Wait while the chair person arrives" And If on some occasion where I am the invitee I hear " you are the first participant to join the call ; Please Wait"

#$@!# Am I born to wait?

I think I have a reputation. I have waited for friends below the platform # 1 indicator when in Bombay for so long; I guess many would have thought I live there. I reach huffing and puffing, feeling guilty as hell for being about 5-7 mins late only to find there is no one there, and within the next couple of minutes or hours they all start trickling one by one! I have never had the privilege to keep people waiting, as hard as I try they try harder and Darn it but they always win!

Once I reached for my friends engagement venue to see an empty hall, Amazed and embarrassed I called him to know that he is still at home and yet to start for the venue.

Am telling you folks! It’s all a big conspiracy the world’s playing on me! And all my friends and colleagues from through out the world are deeply involved in this.

I won’t let them get me….. I WILL BE LATE NEXT TIME!!!!! You just wait… :o)

Read this behind a car yesterday :

"If You Are Able To Read This ; I Am Not Drunk"

Heard this from a colleague today; not sure if he made this up or happened really:

He read an Advt on some property website " 2 bed room Kitchen available for rent, Only 2800/-.
He rushed to occupy it and seems there were actually 2 Beds, one room and one kitchen "
