Huh! I have been tagged!

The inevitable has finally happened!
As I have seen many of the people around the place blogging with a post saying they got tagged by someone and that they would have to reveal 20 things about themselves and so on so forth. So I was thinking if there were infact 20 things that I could say about myself. And then I got tagged by Prashant.

So here goes.

1) All my eye(s) and Betty Martin!!!!!!! This is taking sometime. So let me state the obvious: I am an introvert but most people who have met me recently find that hard to believe. But let me tell you I am very shy but I am overcoming my inhibitions and learning.

2) My faith(and in some forms a relationship with God) is something which is a major major part of my life and which has shaped me into what I am so far.

3) A part of my life which I am really passionate about: MANCHESTER UNITED.

4) And yeah I love football(and try to play whenever I get a chance)

5) When I feel really down I read.Reading is what helps me to look at problems in life more objectively. It is not that I have had any major crisis in life.

6) I am an idealist(and not at all pragmatic) but I am the sort of person who people do turn to for practical advice and a different opinion.

7) I think I am yet to fall(why they say fall is a mystery but I have been trying to understand) in love
but I am learning about what that would involve.

8) I am very lazy and this is taking a lot of effort from me. I am on the verge of giving up.

9) This is one of the first times that I have reached so far without much circumlocution.

10) I can be very passionate about what I believe in.

11) I love arguments and many a times take a stand just for the sake of an argument and enjoy the other side getting flustered. However I don't mind loosing an argument as long as I am having fun. So I don't argue to win though I might sometimes argue for the sake of a different perspective. (And till I edited this peice I wasn't sure about the way 'argument ' was spelt)

12) I hate working from the very depths of my heart.

13) I love eating and getting to know about food.

14) But I prefer starving to having to cook for my food.

15) I am so insignificant that I don't have any enemies and even when I am on the other side in a battle I still manage not to cross anyone.

16) Walking is something which really gets me excited.

17) Although this writing doesn't reflect it there can be days when I can be babbling on and on and on.

18) I don't care about my appearance.

19) I don't care about what others think but I would think about something which anyone says to me.

20) I never knew what people were talking about when they mentioned the heart but now I am slowly making use of my heart too and relating to people.

I guess Prashant got me at a time when( luckily for you) I am not in a particularly expansive mood. But I guess there is more to me as there would be to anyone else. Maybe the tag should have been 25 things about myself. But then even that would not be enough.


And on reflection I add that the Nilgiris in general and Kotagiri(Highfield in Kotagiri to be specific) played a very major role in the making of Sajeev as he is today.

And since this was supposed to be about me I didn't mention the role my absolutely great friends played in shaping the clay into an utensil(wish I could have use a better analogy but then thats what I am worth).


Now whom do I tag???

The loss of a cell phone (explained very briefly by my standards)

It has been quite sometime since I have blogged. I have had quite a few things happening to me since the last time I have posted anything.

Ofcourse life is continuing to go at breakneck speed without anything major actually taking place. Ofcourse I have met lots of new people which is always interesting or so it seems.

And I managed to loose my cell phone in a rushed bus while I was observing the way passengers in the bus were taking in a situation which from the outside seems to be one fraught with difficulties.The bus conductor was new to the route and there was hardly any space for any movement of the body. Still everyone seemed to be having a good time and I was enjoying it. The bus ride lasted just 10 minutes and seemed pretty pleased with myself since it was quite sometime since I had been in a normal transport bus and a packed one at that(canned sardines in a tin would have more breathing space). I get off the bus and realise my phone is no longer with me. I was disappointed since it was my first handset but then again I felt that the bus ride was worth a handset and maybe taught me a few lessons about riding on buses filled to the brim or the exteriors of the entrance(take your pick)

Ofcourse I hoped that someone would call and give my phome back(hoping the person who flicked the phone would have second thoughts).I also thought about why the people can't be more idealistic and hones and so on.
Still I am not bitter since I think I saw someof the spirit which keeps the human race going inspite of all the hardships they have to face.And I hope my handset is put to proper use by whoever gets it in the end(but somehow I am not that optimistic about that happening)
