Random Things

Hello dear readers! (if at all there are any) I somehow feel that I have lost even the original set of loyal readers because of my adamancy of writing flippant blog posts. So anyways, if by chance they peep in, here is another reason annoy them. Here is a list of some random secrets about me! (Yippee readers)
1. I have this strange fetish towards all the English words starting with the letter V but I don’t like names beginning with the same letter much. I still have to figure out why.
2. Toilet is my best place for ideas generation.
3. I still get confused between left and right. I usually look at both my thumbs to know which one is right and which one is left (or wrong), otherwise I usually end up mentioning the other one. P.S: I have a small mole on my left thumb and that is how I figure out the correct side.
4. I suffer from DRIS (Delayed response to internal stimulus)… That is, whenever I make up my mind to do even the simplest of things, I procrastinate the work till it loses its importance. Well that reminds, if you are reading this, Vineeth I have been wanting to scrap you since a long time, how is Australia? Pity that Niyati is unaware of my blog, otherwise I would have apologized for not wishing her on her birthday that was on April 2. And yeah, Sanju I really think of replying to your messages every single day. This disease just doesn’t let me.
5. I do crazy things when I have a crush on somebody. And such things hardly would make a difference to my crush. For example, I preferred to not eat onions and garlic when I had a crush on Dhruv who happened to be a Jain. And the diary in which I have written about him is hilarious. Your sides will pain endlessly after reading it. As for my second crush, OOPS, I should better be quiet.
6. Though it would be hardly believable if you see my room, but I really like: folding clothes, putting bedsheets and also packing things in a bag for any journey. This reminds me that whenever I start cleaning my room, folding towels indicates that I am about to finish my cleaning.
7. I want to visit a cemetery on my first date.
8. A good advice from my side: if you have cooked something really good but it was quite less to satisfy everybody, don’t make the same dish again immediately even if everybody asks you to do so. A) You will never be able to make it as delicious as before as hard as you may try. B) Even if you do make it as yummy as the last time, by the time you make it, the hunger would have abated and nobody would be in a mood to eat more. SO it is kind of disappointing.
9. I hate small formal conversations with acquaintances. I hate asking these formal “How are you”, “Whats up”, “Where are you coming from”, “Had dinner?”, “How was your vacation” and all and equally hate answering them. But surprisingly I expect everybody I know to pass me a smile while passing me and really get annoyed when not done so.
10. I have a knack of finding lost things immediately (at least before anybody else does so). I usually find even the least expected things that could be found. And yes, I am an expert in losing things too, so this ability comes handy. And yes, can’t do much about cases where something broke or was stolen. Otherwise I never lose stuff.
11. Killing ants is one of my favourite activities in my room in Manipal.
12. I have a bald patch on my head which is as embarrassing as it is noticeable. WHY??!!??!
13. I really fancy having a monkey as my pet in future!
14. I really used to love collecting the “love is” cut-outs from Times of India when I was a kid. The idea was initially Umakka’s and I would love to find the collection back.
15. My most intelligent answer ever was wrong! I was a kid, maybe two and a half or so and my dad had taught me numbers till 10. I had just learnt to call them in proper order and my dad suddenly asks me if one plus one is two, what would be two plus two. I immediately squealed three. When asked why I said because when you did one ‘plus’ one the result was the immediate next number. So when you add two ‘plus’ two, it should be three, the next number to it. SAD! Such logics don’t make mathematics…
16. Well, I am a writing genius! I mean, I can write a word in eight different ways. Plainly, reverse, Upside-down, upside-down-reverse, Mirror-image-plain, Mirror-image-reverse, mirror-image-upside down, mirror-image-upside down-reverse! Well, if you are confused by this itself, then trust me, writing so if tougher.
17. I HAD this bothersome habit of scratching my scalp wildly and violently every night before sleeping. Apparently it was my way of putting myself to sleep. Good news family, I don’t seem to do it anymore. Only that it has been conveniently replaced by ear-scouring.
18. I love boys with prominent jaw-lines but not girls having so. It is a typical masculine feature and very attractive. Katrina Kaif is the only exception I think who looks look with such a noticeable jaw-line.
19. I think 2-D Snake is the coolest mobile game ever (you get them only in basic nokia sets). Each time I play it, I challenge myself to a score and assume if I reach that score some particular thing will happen. Like, if I reach 3000, I will get into MICA or whatever be the last two digits of my score would be the percentage of my compatibility with my crush or some crazy thing like that. Try it out, it makes it more interesting. Just don’t be silly like me and tell it to the world. It might pose a threat to your sanity.
20. Well, this was a pretext to not study for some time. But seriously I should go and start studying now. Family don’t worry, I will be studying now. You can leave this page now with this assurance.






Others, gullible, my family isn’t it???? :-P… :-D
