1. No romantic flashbacks, please!

I do not have fond memories of the past. I just have memories and my memory is good. By this I do not mean I had a tormented childhood or something. I had a very normal, happy childhood. And I remember the good and the bad. It bugs me whenever I find people gushing

‘cha school life madhiri varuma, enna life, enna innocence, enna sandhosham!!’

I always feel like asking,”Dude, what’s wrong with you?”

Sure, I had my share of fun @ school, but I also hated my homework. People always see their past with sephia coated filters but not me. I think i’m doing pretty good now, no more school homeworks, no more bags which weighed more than myself, no more tuitions at 7 AM in the morning, no more permissions to go the loo during class hours, no more fear for the princi and teachers,

‘Ada pongappa, naan varalai school ku’

2. I’m like cooker, i like pressure

As more pressures and responsibilities had come my way, the initial reaction has always been,’Pochu, setha da karthi nee!’. But i’ve enjoyed the responsibilities and it has always been better than my fears. So much so, nowadays i think i should put myself under more pressure and seek more responsibilities to improve

3. Don’t even show me your credit card!

Coz, I can remember numbers. I’m yet to figure out if its a poorva jenma punyam or paabam.
People call me just to get the contact numbers of some other person. But it sucks when someone wakes me up in the middle of a nice sunday afternoon nap and says,”Dei namba srinivas mobile number sollu!”

My inventory include - friends vehicle numbers, my present and past vehicle numbers, my 15 digit bank a/cs with PINs, 16 digit credit card nos with security codes, popular train nos, around 60 phone numbers (local/STD/ISD) of my friends /relatives, colleagues, onsite coordinators etc. If I don’t remember any phone number, chances are I have not dialled that number for the past so many months. Phone address books are not designed for guys like me.

So, read the heading and you are herby warned!

4.I just cannot smile at anyone JLT
I seriously envy those who can smile by default. My face is more serious than my heart.
I think i’ve paid dearly in my life because of this on so many occasions. But the other side is, nobody except my close friends mess with me

5. Money - Split Personality
I’m very conservative yet philosophical with money. I will think 1000 times to buy something, but once paisa is out of the bag, I simply write it off and keep going. The money might be well spent or not. The attitude is the same for small purchase as for a major investment. I once wrote off a major investment, its another matter it did not turn out bad as i initially thought

6. Say no to MOUs with Gods, for public good!
I like to visit old temples but i dont ask God for this and that. I dont think I am a pure enough bhakthiman to move God and make him give me all I wanted. Also, if only God did give all that the bhakthas wanted, population will increase as nobody would die, inflation will be at an all time high since all would want to be rich, real estate prices will sky rocket, people will work less than present conditions etc. So i think its better God does not offer all the riches that bhaktas seek

7. You too Brutus!
I can be brutally frank and i’ve lost quite a few acquaintances because of this. I think this is a trait i got from my father. Dont believe this? See my previous post  for a mild sample:)

8. Forgive yes, forget - forget it!

To forgive is human, but to forget is divine, goes one proverb.
I think my father was divine in that respect but he suffered because of that in this material world.

I can forgive someone, but me forgetting - vaipey ledhu!
