I Hate Tags

1. Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it.
It's a dog-flower shape on my right Achilles' tendon, caused by an over-heated bike silencer. In the beginning the dog used to bark but now it's been silenced.

2. What is on the walls in your room?
Hatshepsut. She is a lizard who kills mosquitoes for me. The lazy bitch sleeps through winter as if it's one long Christmas holiday.

3. What does your phone look like?
It's called American Idol, which is funny coz it doesn't sing. It's a silver camera phone that can reach places bigger, better and stronger cameras can't. I know what you're thinking, dirty pervs!

4. What music do you listen to?
Percussions. Any sound produced when hands strike on hollow surfaces. Must have been all the experience at school. I was an outstanding student. So outstanding that sometimes I had to take special permission to see what the classroom looked like.

5. What is your current desktop picture?
A biking picture from my Ladakh trip last year. The snows on the mountain-tops help me keep cool, especially when Hot… sorry… Hatshepsut has not been doing her job well.

6. What do you want more than anything right now?
Right now, I would like to bury myself inside a huge… a really huge… watermelon and then eat way out, like a worm.

7. Do you believe in gay marriage?
Of course… show me one person who doesn't. They're supposed to be happy occasions, aren't they?

8. What time were you born?
At the 11th hour. You can say I was a born procrastinator.

9. Are your parents still together?
Yes. I guess they're just too lazy.

10. What are you listening to?
And old, German rock-star who thinks she's singing the Mahamritunjaya.

11. Do you get scared of the dark?
No. I just think of how the blind must feel all the time and thank God for giving me eyes that work.

12. The last person to make you cry?
The elderly lady who came to my place for the census survey. First she asked me all sorts of personal questions and then she tried to fix me up with a niece of her cousin in Bhatinda. When I said no to her proposal, she wanted me to get her high school-failed son a job.

13. What is your favourite Cologne?
I think the other German city… Munich is my favourite. The beer's much better there.

14. What kind of hair/eye colour do you like on the opposite sex?
Blue hair and yellow eyes. I like my women sober and understated.

15. Do you like pain-killers?
Yes, very much. I mix them in water and give them to my plants. That way they don't have any growing pains.

16. Are you too shy to ask someone out?
No, I usually just show them the door. The rest they manage on their own.

17. Favorite pizza topping?
Coke. Especially when it's free with the pizza.

18. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
A horse, what else?

19. Who was the last person you made mad?
I think most of them were just born that way… or maybe I am too shy to take credit.

20. Is anyone in love with you?
My building's dog for sure. He's always running after me with his tongue hanging out.
