Seven !

Surd...tagged me ! and i shall have my revenge for him having engaged me in a timepass activity that i wont say i enjoyed...but then...he'll give me the surd rendition of the classic "dost,dost..na raha....pyaar...pyaar na raha...zindagi mein tera...aitbaar naa raha...(X2).." which is worse than this torture...so before he does that...yeh ley bey...kar diya...abhi senti mat maar...please !

Seven things you plan to do before you die...

1.Not die... ;-) kidding..
2.Do something on my own...A start-up...make a fast buck...move to another idea..(sentimental attachments are the bane of most successful people in this world)
3.Work for a cause-social or economic-doesnt really matter...just a cause i beleive in...
4.Be India's Prime Minister(or somebody with adequate authority and power) someday and try to change this country...(No..i am serious here..I am actually working towards this...)
5.Provide more than adequate luxury for my family,friends and dear ones...
6.Atleast once meet the mythical soulmate that people say exists for each of us..(meeting is just fine...too perfect and it would be boring..)
7.Do a travel show and try to measure upto Ian wright-from lonely planet fame !!(oh god ! he's awesome!)

Seven things you can do

1.Get things done...I am not a very smart person..i see this as the only trait i have to differentiate myself...honest...
2.Be patient and not lose my temper...i need to thank dad for that...
3.Converse intelligently on a common topic with various kinds of people...from the rich to the poor..from the smart to the dumb...across languages(i can handle english,hindi,konkani,kannada,tamil,telegu and marathi in descending order of proficiency )
4.Beat the crap out of anybody in bowling slower-balls in cricket and confusing the batsman with a different delivery every ball(wasim akram miya zindabad !!(i was the fastest slow-bowler in the entire campus and did pretty well,thank you !)
5.Confidently say that other than anti-social activities that could put you in jail for more than 10 years,I have pretty much done eveything that can be frowned upon...
6.Shift my loyalties easily between the city that bred me(bangalore) and the city i have come to love(Madras)...
7. Say "Chod yaar...chalta hai"and concentrate on finding a solution to the problem rather than playing the blame game...because...it is a lot tougher... and therefore..so much more fun...

Seven things you say most:

1.Macha...
2.F%^$ !
3.what da..what ra...em raa....
4.what fa duck !(the logic being thats how "what da fuck" appears when u type it on a cell phone!)
5.bol bey item !
6.chalega yaar...
7.Chill....

Seven things you can't do:

1.Kill myself...freaks me out...
2.Lose any of my "bad" habits-cigarettes,booze,drugs,immoral sex,etc( i mite have lied with more than a couple of habits-but what the heck ! let your imagination run riot !)
3.Even think of a commitment and stick to it...(i mean girlfriend,marriage,etc people !)freaks me out-again !
4.Drive any powered foot-geared two wheel drive or ay four wheel drive...
5.Watch most yash-chopra,karan-johar,sooraj barjatya movies...and...appreciate them as a masterpiece ! Puhleeeeeeeeeze!
5.Sleep early with no reason..."early to bed,early to rise..makes kini..healthy,wealthy and...damn boring !!"
6.Miss out on my annual tirupati pilgrimage..something about that Kalyug God and the trek to the top that makes me go back every year !
7.Give pain to my parents and sibling..for any reason...have given them enuf pain pain growing up and i beleive they deserve all the luxury i can afford them at this point in their lives...

Seven things that attract you to the opposite sex
(If she can tolerate my acidic sense of humour,and still spends time with me...thats about enuf,but..anyways;-)
1.Attitude...and loads of it..mix of both...good and bad..
2.Hair...I am turned off at girls who do stuff to their hair..coloring,beading,this that...nonsense !
3.Smile...
4.Simplicity...
5.Sense of humour...to jokes other than my brand too..
6.Not too possessive...gives me my space...know what i mean..
7.Girls in anything ethnic...and i mean mizoram ethnic too...tree leaves !;-)

Seven celebrity crushes ( love u all,girls...but..this is "just" a list..so please dont despair..)

1. Suhasini Maniratnam (Tam actress of yesteryear...damn ! i envy mani !)
2. Nandita das...why ? why is GOD great ? yeah...get the picture..
3. Preeti Zinta..that dimple !!!
4. Shakeera...Not Shakeela !! but...man ! she can twist her body around a hell of a lot !! again !! NOT SHAKEELA !
5. that tall girl from that arbit remix music video..i dunno..i give up..
6. Phobe Buffet...no..not lisa kudrow..i mean the character of phoebe buffet from F.R.I.EN.D.S
7.Xena-the warrior princess...yeah..i just had to fill up a name...and i wasnt getting any...

Seven people you want to tag

Nope..sorry..the people i know wont be the kind who will do this kind of thing and spend their time...so...all of them on my blogroll are invited...but the choice is left to them...

cheers..

GoogleTalk

Surd convinced me to install googletalk and log in so that we could chat instead of sending mailers which took aeons to reach and respond to...He's not that smart,i later came to know that the idea was suggested by priya first...
But thats besides the point..googletalk is fun...easy..very light-weight...and simple...
And...I dont remember my first mail compose...I dont remember my first yahoo msgr chat..my first icq chat..my first porno pic...or anything vaguely related to the internet...so thot i would paste the conversation un-edited...as a reminder of the experience and the kind of friends i have...

PS:Several parts of the conversation have been "censored"...for obvious reasons...when a north-indian chats with a normal person(read-south-indian) there is bound to be some invective...
