So you people still do not know me completely.Here I come to post the "about me".It was the flavour of the season a few months ago.I know I am quite late in this aspect,however better late than never.I was in fact waiting for someone to tag me so that I could come up with mine.My first experience with tagging was horrible,which was reflected in that god-damn-awful short story and I have tried not to goof it up this time.I was tagged by Naren.I will slightly deviate from his "about me".Lets start the journey-
Three names i go by-
Rajeev
Desi {My nick in IITM which i acquired during the ragging session}
Raj {Most of my cousins/family members call me }
MoBo meaning Mottai Boss {Orkut gumbal calls me that}
Three screen names-
rajeevhere
rajeev_raghu
iamrajeev85
Three names i was given-
Badrinarayanan {Pseude name.. I like that}
Rajeeva Lochanan{dont like that. yuck:P}
Rajeev {I am not a fool to say i dont like this name}
Three phsyical things i like about myself-
My smile {Giving Shah Rukh and Preity Zinta competition for dimples}
Decently built{Yaa self-proclaimed}
Chubby cheeks {:P}
Three physical things i hate-
Obviously my height {Shortie..may be one of the reasons why i like Sachin}
Capricious nose which sends out hurricanes by the dozens. {Guess its sinus problem or some cold related stuff.Have to consult the doc.}
If the above thing does not qualify as a "physical thing" i will say -Not so strong legs.Fluffy types.
My hair is a mess
Three parts of my heritage-
Kumbakonam{Born there,my granny lives there}
Hyderabad {Brought up there.. spent a major chunk of my life. close to 18 yrs}
Chennai {doing engineering here}
Three things that scare me-
Street dogs.. Bloody dawgs {Had a tough time during my pre JEE days when i had classes at 5 am and had to encounter many barking dogs which chased me like a cop running behind a thief.. its better now out in Hyd.. }
Exams used to scare me but not any more as I have got used to getting screwed.Still failure in exams does worry me.
Human anatomy {Just cant imagine how medicos cut and examine}
Three things about opposite sex that appeal to me-
Nice colour,need not be snow white.{Ok now dont start things like due to morons like u the multi lakh "Fair and Lovely" industry is thriving}
Good conversationalist and a decent sense of humour{She need not evoke wide guffaws but i Just cant tolerate senti}
Chubby but not obese{mebbe like jyotika but not mumtaz/shakila :P} and obly not so tall
Three things i want in a relationship-
Mutual respect
Freedom to do what i want
Love {obviously}
Three places i want go for vacation-
New Zealand {LOTR effect.Wish I could go to all the places where that movie was shot}
Badrinath,Kedarnath and surrounding places around Ganga{had been to those temples.. more of a pleasure trip than a pilgrimage}
England {sit back and enjoy cricket at Lords}
Three all time favorite movies-
This is very difficult.I cannot answer this question.. so pass
Three of my everyday essentials-
Internet
Watch and cell phone
Shower
Three things i am wearing right now-
A gold chain
Imported shorts gifted by cousin,Sparkling white Crocodile vest{Ping me if you want further details :P}
Titan fast-track Watch {Passionate about watches.Will surely blow up a fortune on them once i start earning.}
Three things i want to do before i die-
Have a good collection of best-sellers and read all of them
Watch either Sachin tendulkar or AR Rehman live in action
Learn my mother-tongue Thamizh well and be able to read/write and speak fluently {Though i know tam reading and writing my tam sucks... of all the 4 languages i know i am least proficient in tamil.I am not at all proud of this thing}
Three reasons why i am posting this-
Naren tagged me
My blog lacks an intro
Naren tagged me
Three things i wish to change about myself-
Do away with the "lazy" tag
A care free I-care-a-damn attitude and have a direction/goal and make my life more organised
Improve my communication skills.
Three favorite foods-
This is a very difficult one for gourmands/gourmets like me.I will increase it to 5 as i dont want to do injustice to food.
All varieties of kuzhambu or sambhar with rice,spicy curry and papad.{I get to eat that only during the vacations.My life partner will surely have to excel at sambhar making}
The South Indian b.fast menu-vada,pongal,dosa etc {hate idlis though}
Many N.Indian gravies with a generous amount of paneer thrown in with Butter Naan
Another all time favorite is "chaat" in those ubiquitous push-cart stalls better known as "bandis" in Hyd.
Pizzas and pastries will occupy the next slot.
Three big time regrets-
Not continuing cricket and chess after 6-7th standard {He he.. India missed out on another Sachin or V.Anand you see .. NTPK}
Never learnt the art of attentively listening the classes.{Habits die hard.Was a back-bencher types candidate right from 4-5th}
Having studied in a boy's school {:((}
Three things i want to badly do now-
Go home {Its vacation time now and i am still sitting in IITM}
Party night long
Writing "Finish this post" is too tempting.Will change the 3rd thing to -Finish the books at hand namely-Ramayana by Rajaji,Naked Face by Sheldon,Day of the jackal by Forsyth
I have gone through many "know me" posts and its pretty obvious that some of the points have been found else where.I have tried not to use the usual cliches but could not help it on 2-3 occasions.
I hereby declare that all the above facts are true to the best of my knowledge and if found false I am liable to be banished from the blogging world and/or a fine of posting 100 totally humourous/entertaining/captivating posts.:P
Thanks for this long journey and this is an open tag to all the newcomers to post an intro.I grant all newcomers permission to use my name saying "Rajeev tagged me"!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
