A wild stallion (or Pegasus) might escape one cowboy who chases it while swinging the rope. But when its 2, I guess there is no escape.
Recently I have been tagged by Amit Arora and Sree Pillai who have coerced me into writing 8 facts about me (something which I had successfully evaded for more than 2 years) So here it goes:
1. I cannot narrate jokes. I can compose them, write it.. but when it comes to entertaining a group, the max I can mutter is a punch line.
2. I sleep on the floor and hand-wash my clothes, broom my own floor. Not that I cannot afford a cot/maid, but because I love simple life.
3. I love intelligent discussions and I often travel even 4 hours (2hours both sides) just to have a cup of coffee and a nice tea-table discussion.
4. I am scared of 2 wheelers (but I am ok with bungee jumping or flying a makeshift plane)
5. I easily get bored. Infact very few of my hobbies or activities survive a calender year.
6. I love traveling, experiencing a new culture and making new friends.
7. I am a very hasty in taking decisions, and quick to accept mistakes.
8. I value friends and family more than anything else in my life.
I was supposed to tag a further 8 people, but I think i leave the job of catching stallions to the cowboys.
Thank you ,Ankur !
I enjoyed reading all the facts and I guess most of it is reflected in ur blog.
No1 though is a little difficult to believe. u have a perfect timing sense.

thanks… so how many of the 8 people u tagged wrote about themselves?

Fact #2 is refreshing
I don’t see many people who do this. In fact, people take pride in the fact that they don’t need to wash their own dishes.

“I am very prompt” or is it “I am scared of the fourth rule”
Comment by sree — July 3, 2007 @ 1:14 pm
@sree..
don’t worry.. a little bit of ur fav passtime nagging.. and more people will comply.
although i acknowledge that “I am a very hasty in taking decisions”, it took me 7 whole days to write this post.. btw do u even remotely think that i would believe in superstitions?

Wow, nice facts about yourself Pegasus! I was surprised about fact 1 because I love the jokes on your blog - okay so maybe you wouldn’t have been able to narrate them as you would want it to be - got it! And everything you’ve listed are very worthy too! and in a way similar to mine. Nice ones!!

Ok now you tell me you are scared of two wheelers Now. Shit the number of times we went to the restaurant near the station on your two wheeler you tell me now that you were scared of them.
Comment by Sandip — July 4, 2007 @ 8:16 am
that was Kharagpur… driving there was safe (plus that restaurant Habibs served some amazing meat preparations) … but in bangalore, esp on the ring road, i am scared of the rash traffic and the fact that there is a drunk truck driver just next to me.

soberity is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
