Top 10 things about me You Didn’t Know

December 14, 2007

1) I’ve once managed to set my computer on fire. Like literally. With smoke and all.

2) I can’t listen to music. If I have music on for more than 15 minutes, the voices in my head start singing along (with a really bad voice too), and that gives me a terrible headache. I wear noise-canceling headphones at work, but have nothing playing to keep the noise out.

3) A stray dog once bit me and THE DOG died the next day of rabies. Nothing happened to me.

4) I can’t swim. I took swimming lessons, but I still can’t swim.

5) I’m very bad with spellings. I couldn’t survive without a spell checker. A 4th Standard kid could probably beat me at a spelling test.

6) I once managed to convince a friend to lend me money to buy HIS birthday gift which I BORROWED from him the same day. I’ve not returned the gift back to him. And neither the money. Yet.

7) I’m very scared of Cows and Buffaloes.

8) I used to be a member of Mensa (The club for so-called “High IQ” people). They kicked me out because I refused to pay the Rs 25 annual membership fee.

9) My greatest ambition is to write a Bollywood Movie someday.

10) And YES, it’s true – I once wrote a program that automatically generated poems. I was trying to impress the GF with my “artistic” skills at that point.

    3 more things you’d probably wanna know abt PK

    1) He bites when he is angry.

    2) If you call him while he is sleeping, you’d wake up a hideous 1 eyed, tentacled monster who’d curse you to death. If you really wanna push your luck, start with “were you sleeping?”

    3) He’d go great lengths to avoid using his vehicle if he were to car/bike pool with you.

    Yes, I’m a genius at screwing things up. In fact, I’m going to get an honorary PhD in that real soon.

    There is a very well known saying that, a very thin line exists between geniusness and crazyness, i but somehow feel most of us dont realize which side of the line we are at, at certain times.

    @Stranger: Well said !

  12. Aditya Kulkarni on December 18, 2007 at 3:27 am

    @Stranger: Crazyness side. Definitely.

  13. stranger on December 18, 2007 at 7:28 am
