A bit about myself..

Its been long since I have filled up an application form. The last form where I wrote about myself was long long ago when I had applied for the Masters. It already feels like a different decade. The only forms I fill these days are for PAN Card applications, company related forms and forms for bank accounts, which pretty much a robot can do and you don't have to think. 

Considering the fact that I have to optimally utilize the fleeting and fragmented bandwidth available on the upper floor, I decided to crowd source answers for the question "Tell us something interesting, memorable, quirky or unique about yourself." Yeah! I know that is taking something a bit too far..
Actually, it was not a bad idea after all. I really got some interesting insights into myself.

Mother India:
A little mature. A little mental. Sometimes an adult. Sometimes a stupid. Now you put it into your fancy words.

(I am trying to empower the Mother India these days and she seems to be learning it a little too well.  Can you believe it I actually had to negotiate a deal with her today; that she will read Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In only if I read 'Talapatra grandham' in Telugu itseems. It was like a meri billi mujhse meow kind of a situation)

Dad:
Energetic, Focussed, Happy go lucky and pampered.

 (Hmmm.. ok)

A very good friend Su:
Graceful laziness, effortless hard worker. 
Probably one of very few (among whom I know) who has the potential to seamlessly slip into and carry on along with the likes of Paris hiltons after a intense day at work with the likes of Marissa Meyers and make you believe that she belongs there. 

(Honestly, this one took me to cloud 9 and it took a while before I could come down.)

BFF M:
Interesting -- any person that meets you really likes you for who you are. You don't just dream big but often accomplish those dreams with great determination. You are a very happy person. Never had even a single dull moment when I was in your company. And I know for sure that it's exactly how everyone feels when they are with you. Something everyone is not capable of. Somehow you manage it all - getting top grades, having fun, travel, learning new stuff, managing a company and making it so successful, staying in touch with friends & family etc etc. A multitasker in short. 
Memorable -- lots! one of them would be when our girl gang made a trip to B'lore all by ourselves.. and then your coming to little rock and the trip we made to Hot Springs and Dallas.. We did a lot of adventurous stuff together and the list is huge. Social activities we did together like feeding the children in the orphanage/institute for mentally handicapped. Organizing a fun event at the old age home and carrying it out.
Quirky -- Quirky about you i noticed would be when you just laugh it out after having gone through an embarrassing moment instead fretting about it

(This one brought tears to my eyes)

Super Duper P:
In your  30 before 30 list in which U wrote that U will do a 'one-day maunavratham'.  I am not sure if you will ever complete it because you wont be able to sit quietly for an entire day. Once on a roll, you just cannot stop laughing.

(This made me grin...sheepishly, ofcourse )

The BadCow story

I love stories. Specially narrating stories. Exaggerating them and narrating. I have stories associated with just about anything. Bird shit, car, lock, missing flights, chasing buses, maid servant, broken pyjama strings, coffee, blog...Give me anything and I will tell you a story that happened to me with that subject. The BadCow story has nothing to do with being bad or cows or cows that are bad. It is just my tryst and obsession with bad words. If only my dad had an iota of idea about the extent of my 'galeez maatalu' vocab, he would jump from his 5th floor apartment. Going by the number of bad words I know and use, the way I drive and cuss at drivers ( and yeah my love for night life too ), my mum feels I should have been born as a boy and If I were born a boy and got married, my wife would've committed suicide within the first 2 months of the marriage. See..exaggeration you see. It runs in the family. BadCow ...reminds you of any bad words? For non-native Telugu

vision 2020...just an illusion??

A co-worker's boyfriend had asked me how can I leave the land of opportunities and go back to India. "What is there in India?" these were his exact words. " what is there in India" that I am moving back to? yes, there is corruption in India. There is pollution, population explosion, traffic jams, insensitivity,illiteracy, female foeticide and infanticide . There is lack of civic sense, lack of good organization and there is no cleanliness. We spit on the road and all the walls on the road are public urinals and men make graffiti with pee on all those walls. Haaa! tell me what isn't there in India. A lot of people I know don't want to go back to India for all those mentioned above and a lot more. And can we do anything about it? Yeah, we can fret about it and enjoy watching on-screen how the heroes fight these evils while we munch on our popcorn. may be, my being a hypocrite has a lot to do with the country I come from. The country, the state, the social

once more, please!

Give me some sunshine Give me some rain Give me another chance..I wanna grow up once again.. I might have listened to this song a thousand times in the last one month and not once has it failed to flood me with memories of school and college life, friends from school & college, crushes, cat-fights, suspensions, ragging, all-nighters, and on and on and on...Not just the memories, it gets me thinking as to what I would change if I could grow up once again..I am sure each one of us would be able to relate to it.. i would love to know if, given a chance and you could grow up once again, what/how would you change (in) your life?
