So there's this crappy game on facebook going on..where everyone has to post 25 random things about themselves..i got tagged twice to do it...and i never thought i would do it..but what the hell..I'm pretty jobless :)
and in case ur wondering..why I'm not writing it on FB..i got a couple of cousins on my list..and well..they cant know all this abt me! it would lead to many issues in the gopal family! ;)
and anycase im wonderin..not many of u know me..so it really doesnt matter how random i really am!! ;)
so in no particular order...
1) most people think im a very friendly person and that I like meeting new ppl and making new friends! I'm not friendly..in fact I;m fairly anti social..and I think I'm too old and set in my ways to make new friends!
2) I pretty much lead a double life...Im as conservative and orthodox and set in traditions as any ambujam maami..at the same time...I love my vodka, chicken tikka and the occasional classic mild! these two alter ego's of mine have never clashed (thankfully!)..well..except once on krishna jayanthi in 2004..but we'll leave that for a later post ;)
3) If ever I audition for American Idol..I would sing..Be with You by Mr. Big...I have it down pat..including the hand movements and the facial expressions for when there is a close up!
4) I have a thing for fair guys...till now all the men i've ever had a crush on have been fair...
5)It doesnt bother me that I;m fat! I'm grateful for the face that I have...if i had to choose between having a hot sexy figure and an ugly face or being fat and my current face..i would choose being fat any day!
6) I have many circles of friends whom I dont like to mix...office, school, college - b.com, college - other depts, MBA, ex-office, etc etc...im diff with each group of friends and not all of them know me know me...but there are a select few who know me completely!
7) I have a nice job that pays good money...just so happens I;m reasonably good at my job too...but I;m not at all career oriented...I totally see myself sittin at home to take care of my future children! :)
8) The first thing I notice about a guy is his hands...his fingers more specifically..and then his neck...and i always judge a guy by how good or bad he smells..I have met perfectly nice men..who rather unfortunately may have had a bad B.O day, the first time they met me...no matter how good they might have smelt on other occasions..I only remember the bad smell
9) Yeadu (Malai...for the non-tamilians here..though I;m not sure how many of them read my blog!) makes me vomit..i'm not kiddin...serve me tea/coffee/lassi with yeadu in it and i'll throw up instantly!
10) I have an awesome collection of perfumes...i use perfumes till there are like 4-5 sprays left...and then stop..cos I dont want to throw the bottle..so i have a cupboard full of near empty perfume bottles
11) i have a huge fetish for silver jewellery..rings and ear-rings are my biggest weakness..not so much necklaces
12) I;m more scared of my elder brother than I am of my parents..(spack..i know ul have some choice comments for this one)
13) I adore my sis-in-law..she really is a very nice girl..and I'm glad she married my brother..touch wood..we get on very well for now...remind me to blog abt this 10 years from now :P..
14)I love to dance..and I'm pretty decent at it.sadly..old age has taken over..so these days I can dance only after I've had a couple of potent drinks..mind u..when I say dance..i mean..pelvic thrusts..and shakin all wat i got coupled with vulgar facial expressions ;)(i would make an excellent item number girl) ;)
15) i was a very different person 3-4 years ago..i think I have changed for the better now...even if i say so myself :P
16) in this whole arranged marriage process..i've said no to boys and also been said no to! trust me..both are not fun!
17) though i pass judgement...i dont judge people...does that make sense, or am i sayin it wrong!
18)I've dated some hottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt lookin men...but that's all it was...dating...the ones I really loved were all awesome people..and not really the hot kinds..well..they were to me..but im guessin not to the general public!
19) I'm pretty religious..I pray every morning..I have these set of shlokas my mom taught me when I was young...I love going to temples..the peace and calm it brings me is unparalleled..even in tirupati..inspite of waiting in queues for hours..and being shoved around..and jargandied...that 2 secs i get in front of God, makes it allllllllllllllll worth it...
20) I hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee email forwards..esp the kinds which tell me that I have to forward the mail to x number of ppl within 5 mts to avoid having bad sex!!! wat the fuck!!!!
21) Nothing irritates me more when ppl say I look like a north indian and then are surprised when I dont take it as a compliment!
22)I speak a hash of madras, galeej bashai and sparsht iyengar tamil...i pretty much get it wrong all the time!
23) I talk fast, eat fast, think fast, type fast and drive fast....generally I do things at a quickened pace compared to others!
24)I would love the opportunity to kick a man in his nuts!
25) I absolutely trip on toilet humour...fart jokes make me laugh, any time of the day!
phewwwwwwwwwwwwww..not bad...i thought it would be tough...i think i could have gone on for a few more!!! :)
I think the rules of the game require me to tag other ppl so they too cant write 25 things abt themselves..i wont impose...pls feel free to write..but only if u want to..not cos i asked you to! :)

6) Very true! Keeps things much easier to handle. I once tried inviting all friends for a party at home and it was a disaster, simply because there was very less overlap. I learnt my lesson that day!
19) I'd add Thirupaavai to this point in my list even though I don't think I'm too religious. :)
21) I know, irritating to the core!
In all, great list :)

2) it makes it all the more fun
3)i'd since more than words by extreme.
4) feudal
5) and amen to that!

22) yeah, u scared me a bit that night at zaras
25) MOTOR MAMI!
2.Only maami i know who loves chicken tikka :-)
3.American Idol - I would sing wild world and dedicate it to she who shall not be named...
5.I doesn't bother me at all too, you being fat that is...:-)
9.Yaedu, trust me I would do the same... So mom has to pay some special attention handing over coffee/tea.

haha, fantastic, very cool stuff, will pick this thing up, lets see when I get down to posting this, saturday maybe.
ha haha!
Really nice..
few of them in ur list.. i can say me too.. am not gonna say which is which :D
I am telling you this from the bottom of my heart, amongst all my friends I love your writing the most. It has an honest, humorous, quirky, yet realistic feel to it which gives me comfort every time I read it.
In my 25 things I meant to include something we shared in common - that amongst my big regrets is that I fought with you over something many years back, and it was so not worth it.
12 is awesome :) Who is Princess Fiona?
Re: Email:
Of course, it would not be a difficult task for a person of even my intelligence level to post as anonymous (if I wanted you to guess who I was). But pray, answer the question please!
ooh i love crappy facebook games!! and smart choice putting this on ur blog than out there
as regards 1) most people think im a very friendly person and that I like meeting new ppl and making new friends! I'm not friendly..in fact I;m fairly anti social..
