21 Randdumb things about me:

March 2010
Hmm... so here I am... again. I have this frigging exam tomorrow..err...technically today I guess.

So, today I was riding my raampyaari with Gaurav to the Tata Steel Sports Complex and on the way I saw one mini truck with those ‘sarias’ tied to the beams of the carrier part. As protruding as Pinnochio’s nose I guess...
So I told Gaurav one of my darkest secrets then only...

1. I always fear that one day I am gonna die in this fashion: Me driving anything on wheels with a thela/ vehicle carrying those ominous rods in front of me. A sudden screech of breaks and then my ribs pierced by those rods. An innumerable number of holes I guess . Guess because it is said that you can’t ever dream of what happens to you just after the death. I have seen myself falling from a skyscraper but just before I touch the ground, the dream vanishes as anything.

And here is more of Ran-dumbs for others to read....

2. I always wanted to join Indian Navy. But I never ever came as near to even appear for the exam. I did also want to be a scientist, an IPS officer and a spy. And, these days ideas of plunging into politics is hogging my mind.

3. I have always felt that I have been poor with Maths. However, the fact that I have always managed to get good scores in exams, be it boards, IIT JEE or AIEEE (or recently the CAT), i.e to say exams which have mattered to me, still flummoxes me.

4. I always find my choice in everything to be the best be it songs, movies, girls, clothes, shoes, etc. Fortunately, my choice of movies are rated well in the IMDB. My choice of songs have won many awards and feature in the classics. Clothes and shoes are too trite to be talked about. And, about girls..... no comments.

5. Since my teen days I have always thought of giving a thought to institution of marriage in mid 30s only. Since then only, the term ‘arranged marriages’ sounded to me ugly like *yuck*.

6. When I came to know (15 days after the accident) that I have broken my right wrist my first thought was “Thank God... I didn’t broke my left.”

7. I find my name to be the best sounding one in the whole goddamn world. I also feel that is one of the two things I am good at.

8. I can’t cry when people die. So, all those who read this please tell your souls not to hurt me because I couldn’t cry at your funeral.

9. I can be a crybaby when it comes to movies. I try my best not to but still I can’t stop my tear glands.

10. I think when it comes to writing I could only write it about me, for me, of me, me me and only me... Does that makes me a Narcissist??? Naah. The idea is to watch everything through my sight and then convey to people through me in my writings.

11. When it comes to driving( and not parking)... I think I am the best one around... gimme anything that has an engine and has got wheels (for that matter I could drive a speedboat or hovercraft too)... and I ll rein the beast.

12. I really think that I could do a Jenson Button/Sebastian Vettel with proper training for a year... Dad are you listening??

13. When I used to be a child, I used to maintain a scrapbook with pictures of Cars and Bikes, of course the good imported ones, cut from various magazines and newspapers. I always had a hunch I’ll get atleast half of them if not all. I still believe in that hunch!

14. I am reticent towards new people. But once I break the ice.... gawwd you would rather like to go back to the time before.

15. I haven’t yet figured correctly on my phone how to send someone’s number to someone else... I mean often it happens the other way round.

16. I used to be a bully at my school with some people. Once one of my teachers found out and infront of the whole class told me in a subtle tone, “ Aayush, It’s good to know you got such a facet too... but choose your preys wisely.”

17. I used to be very good photographer but no-cameras-in hostel-life rule at my school ruined my photography skills.

18. I hate people who puke regularly after having a booze. I don’t hate them for throwing up.... I hate them for overestimating their body metabolism or rather say... their going overboard in the show of virility.

19. I used to hate Kolkata, if not more then not less either, than I hate Rakhi Sawant. But after the last two trips, the hatred has thinned down like Kareena Kapoor did with her figure. But no... It is still not Size Zero.

20. I think Macbook is the best laptop ever made and Apple is the best brand ever. I still believe in iOS more than Android.

21. I also believe I could be a good ad-maker. Alyque Padamsee is my ideal. And her daughter is ohhhh-my-gawwwdd-I-will-give-my-left-hand-for-her kinda cute.
