О себе:
I love to start numbering from zero instead of one
I love to take photographs wherever I go
I love harmony
I love martial arts
I can eat same food, day-in-day-out and not get bored
I can listen to same song non-stop in loop for days and still enjoy it. This freaks out all my buddies :)
I can't live without access to my linux box
If you strike the right chord with me, I can ramble on and on for hours
When I'm tensed, I like to watch movies or meditate
I rate higher on nerdy and geek scale than on social scale
I can't cheat others
I love Linux
I hate to suffocate my feet inside shoes, so you will often see me roaming around bare-footed
I prefer to tour a place that is sparsely crowded
If GOD asked me do you believe Angels? I would say 'Yes, my Mommy'
I believe that surviving in this world requires you to be extremely mean and exceedingly cunning, yet I refuse to adopt to that kind of life style
I would rather sit alone on my a$$ with a book than booze and party
I would rather play exhausting sport than sit on my a$$ and read a book
I love the fragrance of wet mud
I like to dream
I am a teetotaler, and this bugs a lot of my buddies
If God gave me power to remove any 3 vices from world, I would remove:
Politicians/Politics
Greed and
Jealousy
In my view breathing techniques are the most advanced form of exercises. I have been trained in a few of these techniques, and some day I'll learn and master the advanced forms of them.
I am amongst the category of 'Early to Sleep And Early to Rise'. And all my buddies hate me for this
I don't like to celebrate my birthdays.
I think I'm too afraid of celebrations, that is why you will rarely see me carousing at parties, etc.
As to WHY... I don't know yet. One fine morning I was introspecting as why can't I be normal like everyone else and enjoy birthdays, parties, dancing, etc. After much deliberation a voice came from the deep sub-conscious.. 'You are scared of celebrations, Atul!' I gasped in utter disbelief. I sat there for few minutes, only to realize to my horror that it was every bit TRUE! OK, don't psycho-analyze me too much!
I love to write on paper with my 0.5mm mechanical pencil
I am exceedingly choosy about my writing instruments, there is only one brand of mechanical-pencils I trust "Faber Castle"
I love oil pastel crayons
I am too economical in using any resource (except n/w bandwidth, I think)
Cutting me off from my email is the best way to torture me :)
I like my religious,
Usually, I don't tend to worry about what you think of me, unless you are someone very important in my life
I have few close friends
I love chocolates, in anything and everything (Note: You can bribe me chocolates into doing almost anything)
Steaming hot cup of ginger-cardamom-pepper milk-tea is my favourite beverage.
And my Mommy's love transforms it into ambrosia.
Cold coffee (decaf and light) with ice-cream comes next
Amongst flowers, I love the fragrance of Jasmine and Lavender
My bedroom will always smell good
I like neat-n-tidy bed with a crease-less sheet on it (just like you see in your hotel rooms)
Yet I prefer sleeping on hard-surface, with just a quilt between me and the floor :)
I love my books and take great care of them. In fact I'm too emotional about my books.
You can easily win my wrath by mis-handling my books
I detest using pencils as bookmarks, dog-earing pages, or even carelessly marking lines without a ruler
You will always hear soft soothing ambient music playing in my room
I am practitioner of subtlety
I am very optimistic about my pessimism
My Belief:
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanis
