The optimist unravelled..

So I was tagged again by Vivek. The thing is to answer 50 questions about myself. The details which are going to be divulged are strictly confidential. *drum rolls please*

1. Were you named after anyone?
As for my official name, I was named after my grandfather. My nickname stuck because “it seems” I resembled Lord Krishna on Gokul Santol’s (it’s a talcum powder) case pack. Hence the name.

2. Do you wish on stars? Noooo..

3. When did you last cry?
I last cried in the month of Oct ’03 when I couldn’t attend my grandmother’s funeral. Ended up screwing up most of the exams in the first semester and since then the trend continues. Apart from this incident, I have not cried much. Of course, being an optimist helps :D

4. Do you like your handwriting?
Like?? I love my handwriting. I know I should not be bragging, but my handwriting is usually quite neat. In fact my 5^th grade Math teacher commented that she was tempted to give extra marks for my neat handwriting, but I had already scored centum. Geeky days!!

5. What is your favourite meat?
I was, am and will be a veggie.. Say no to meat. :D

6. What is your most embarrassing CD on your shelf?
I hardly have any CDs in my shelf. They’re strewn all over my room. I can answer this question once I am done cleaning my room. But as far as I remember, I think I had this corrupted Windows XP installation CD.

7. If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you?
Obviously YES!! I’d be best friends with myself.

8. Are you a daredevil?
Is touching one’s nose with his tongue qualify being daredevil? :-??

9. How do you release anger?
I don’t get angry. I just get upset or depressed. If I do get angry (which is once in a blue moon), I piss others off; although please note that the converse is not true.

My Hostel!! I love it.. :D

11. Do you trust others easily?

13. What class in school/college do you think is totally useless?
Sorry Mr RB, but its gotta be philosophy. I can talk better on philosophy!!

PS1: Operation Spic-n-span was launched at 17:00 hours today. And is expected to continue until the wee hours of the morning.
PS2: India has equalled the world record for the most consecutive successful chases. Exams have started for most of us, but not for me.. not yet.
PS3: I'm going for the movie "V for Vendetta" tomorrow morning. Am really looking forward to the movie.
PS4: The farewell was not quite upto the expectations. And I guess we have none but ourselves to blame.
