Last month I turned 25. So, I thought it would be a nice idea to re-introduce myself (yeah, a chance to tell all the nice things about myself on the 2nd date. I spilled hot coffee over you on the first date! :P)
So commemerating the 25 years, here are my list of 25 things. Some of them might be things you never knew about me.
1. I love books.
I read fiction a lot. I love thrillers, mysteries. But I also love fat books on economics, finance and advertising. I also love the idea of a library. Not a digital one. A real serious library like those of the 50's era, where you have a sliding ladder to reach those high shelfs. (I know, I can be a crazy romantic sometimes)
2. I love water.
My favorite drink will always be a glass of clean, cold water. Oh! I even find drinking water sexy! I also mentally picture myself getting healthier with every glass of water I drink Though pure mango pulp, single malt scotch, milk and vodka-redbull are somewhere on the list, they will never knock water off its 1st position.
3. I genuinely actively enjoy vegetables.
Peppers, Brocolli, Cauliflower, Spinach, Cabagge, Carrot, Mushroom, Ivy gourd, Bottle gourd, Chillies, everything Leafy, Parsley. I love them all! I heart them!! A few years back, I used to look at the green leafy vegetables in my plate and keep seeing Popeye with great arms in my head! And that's it, I used to clean-sweep my servings.
4. I love gay people.
Yeah! I met very few until now. I honestly loved them all. I can't stand homophobic people. I'm not saying they are no bad gay people at all (I'm sure a person's sexual orientation doesn't define his/her general nature. Gay people can be evil too!). But the few I met were great. Oh! by the way, I think Harvey Milk is one of the coolest people who walked the earth!
5. I badly want an MBA.
I want an MBA from a superb university. The 'superb university' is the only difficult part! I don't equate people's abilities to the university names they attended. But somewhere deep down, I want the awesomeness of a great college name attached to my profile. This is a personal, deep rooted wish, though I don't think every one needs to go to an Ivy-league college and end up as a 'Suit'. Infact, I hate 'Suits'.
6. I want to travel a lot.
I really do! But I never get to do it with my work schedule, meagre yearly leaves and monetary funds.
I just want to trek, live, breath, drink, eat, go crazy while traveling. Personally, I like places with moderate climate. I hate the sweat, the heat and general set of issues which come with getting closer to the equator.My only overseas vacation was to Singapore an Malaysia. I've been to the northen-part of India when I was a kid.
7. I want to settle outside my country of birth.
Yes, I know I'm going to get many complaints and critiscim over this. But that's what I want. I want to settle in a country with great standard of living, less people, moderate climate, great infra-structure, wonderfully right-brained, broad-minded education system, superb-wine selection, breath-taking mountains (think about the Alps baby!) and a wonderfully peaceful job environment. No! I don't want to keep waiting until this country gets there! My life is happening now. I want something like this within the next 10 years.
8. I want to be a home-owner within the next 2 years.
I want to have a home/real estate piece of my own, more as a real-estate investment by the time I'm 27. No, I don't need a dream house yet. But I want a kick-ass property which sells for a awesome price when I want to look at other investments. I want to own it by 27, which equals to trying to be a great landsape artist when I can't even draw a line!
9. I'm jealous
..of creative people. Musicians, Artists, Potters. I've always wanted to get a chance to learn one creative thing. But, I think writing compensates. I would be proud of myself when I can actually say .."I'm a part-time freelance writer and I'm also working on a book at present". Let's wait and see. I secretly fear that I'll end up being defined only by my corporate job.
10. I genuinely can't think bad.
No, I don't wish that person who has been bad to me falls and breaks his legs. I don't really care about that ass-hole who makes my work-life hell. I can't think evil about them. But, make me sit down and ask for a evil plot for a mystery story. Oh boy! Will there be some tastefull killings? Yep. I can do that and I can think of really crazy ideas for your thrillers.
11. Funnily, I can't watch violence.
I can't. I cringe when I watch some Tamil movies and English movies. I felt sick while watching the 'Black Swan'. It was one crazy, sickening and daunting movie. But, I couldn't stop myself from watching. Apart from this movie, I just change the channel or walk out of violent movies or scenes.
12. My favorite romantic movie is 'A Lot Like Love'
Need I say more? I've seen all the romantic movies starting from 'Pretty Woman' to 'Valentine's day'. Nothing beats A LOT LIKE LOVE. Period!

As a fellow human being the following points hurt me the most:
1. "I hate suits"
2. "Settle outside country"
3. "Can't think bad"
for the standard of living you are seeking all you need is to buy that house in the right locality. Trust me there is nothing money can't buy :-)
Oye, the country you would like to settle is something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis
4 of out of 12 are what you want?
And ya, almost a years and no new addition to the list. :p
