The Tag Game !

I wasnt sure if i wanted to spend 15 minutes on this. But the overwheming monotony of trying to write for 3 simultaneous brochures ready drove me to take a break.

So here goes:

Four things about me that you don't know:

(Nothing too dandy :) will be written here, u cant be too careful these days!)

-> I have been living on a fake birth certificate all my life. I was born 20 Nov 1984 - but my mom entered me in School when i was much too young and obtained a fake affidavit advancing my birth by 6 months. I have been the youngest person in my class from way back in school to up until college.I used to fucken get cheap kicks out of making older guys in Junior classes/college level call me Anna :)

-> I have a somewhat unexplained disorder with my reading. I read all my new books in one stroke - often ignoring pending work. I re-read books like crazy & read em real quick. It takes me about 2 hours to read, say. Kane & Abel or some Ken Follett. When at Home (in madurai where most of the books are) i read one novel a day - often just skimming through boring sections and complete the book before going to sleep that day.

- > I still take what 'pocket money' i want from my mom's purse everytime i go out. I havent ONCE, EVER - checked how much money i have in my bank account. [i track receivables, EEFC foreign currency accounts, Stock broker accounts everything at work but NEVER once my bank account - i might be penniless for all i know]. I carry my dad's credit card. People still call me a miser.

- > I once gave an about 30 min long speech on the 'Life & greatness of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru' back in Class II under floodlights, to an audience of over 500 people, won the first prize - all with my bloody fly undone. It took me the next 10 years to locate and destroy about a dozen copies of the incriminating photographic evidence. I tore them all up and flushed them down toilets :)

Four jobs I have had in my life:

1. Research assistant 04,05 (Unpaid)
2. Various odd jobs around our business now :) [Supposedly paid, but all i see is chidambaram getting his cut and the rest accounted on paper]
