My Blog, my Meme!

Ten Firsts:
First Best Friend: Guru, a neighbour.
First Screen Name: Thorn_within (ah, good ole IRC!)
First Vehicle: BSA Champ (I ride a Yam now...and I'm too proud not to tell people that often)
First Crush: That villainess in popular TV show Chandrakantha. Ooh boy, she brought out the throbs of the heart and whatnot! In not-so-reel life, its probably this cute lil' girl next door that I played 'doctor' with..;)
First Movie: Jockey starring Ambarish. I was about 4 yrs old.
First Kiss: is not as good a song as The Last Kiss.
First Book: A Famous Five book when I was 8. Dad decided I had enough of Chandamama and Champak after I named my cricket bat Batty.
First Love: I was pretty head over heels for this girl back in high school. I only spoke to her once...and that was at the valedictory party. It wasn't love though. Its about as close as I've gotten to it.
First Rock Tape: Ten by Pearl Jam. I lost it a week later.
First Fist Fight: When I was 11. The guy stole my Tinkle fucken Digest.

Nine Lasts:
Last Alcoholic Beverage: A mug of Happy hours draught beer.
Last Bike Ride: Rode back home from college.
Last Movie: Layer Cake. Classy and Brit!
Last Expletive used: "fugginell!"
Last Life Concept to confound me: Eco-Cemeteries or Natural Reserve Burial Grounds. No, I just don't get it!
Last Book I couldn't get past the preface of: Client Server Computing, Patrick Smith.
Last time I cried: Ok this might be weird...but I cried when I watched Dil Chahta Hai again a week ago.
Last TV character that made me laugh: Drew Carey.
Last Birthday Party: My niece Anju's....the sweet lil' thing turned 3 day before!

Eight Have You Evers:
Dated one of your best friends: Yeah.
Been arrested: Not yet I 'avent!
Skinny Dipped: uh huh. At a beach in Malpe!
Been on TV: No. I'm willing to kill for it!
Written a poem: I have! Needless to mention, it was called Rain.
Been out of the country: Nope. Shite, my life's not as remotely exciting as I want it to be.
Fantasized about a cartoon character: I've always found Wilma Flintstone hot. Sexy voice too!
Had sex: No. It helps me appreciate the finer things in life. The blue sky, the Rastafarian movement....faaargh get me laid!!

Seven Things I Can Do:
Five step-overs and two 360-degree turns before feeling dizzy.
Ideate answers to questions on Media Computing in the form of Megadeth song lyrics and make my lecturer buy them.
Eat a HELL of a lot of Gobi Manchurian provided I have sufficient beer to wash it down with.
Repel every second cute girl I meet by mindlessly ranting about Afrocentrism and suchlike shite.
Read the Hitchhiker's Guide on a monthly basis. I'm yet to run out of the muse for it!
Do idiotic memes on my blog.
Blog.

Six Celebrity Crushes:
Jennifer Aniston
Shilpa Shetty
Smriti Rao (she's a celeb to me alright!)
Eva Longoria
Madonna
Nandana Sen

Five Greatest Fears:
Unrequited love
Best friends backstabbing
Complete loss of memory
Mystic disappearance of coffee beans
Death

Four People I can tell almost anything to:
Hemster
Adz
Petro
Ritesh

Three Sacrifices I'd make:
Skip a test at college to watch Tendulkar bat.
Lose sleep to stay up late for a Man U game.
Almost anything to keep Mom and Dad happy.

Two Things I'd want to do before I die:
Fall in love and never out of it.
Get a heater, some serious smelling salts and have a dialogue with Jim Morrison.

One thing I hope for myself:
I hope I could be in a war. I hope I can hold my best friend's head in my lap, watching him gasp his last breath looking to me for help.
Its a lot more salutary than throwing a Shaskespearean "once more unto the breach, dear friends" at someone who asks me about war, without having the faintest idea of what I'm talking.
I hope I won't be the kind to give someone a syallabus of my personal favourites when he asks me about women. I hope I can wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.

In essence, I just hope I don't cop out behind "I didn't ask for this."
