This was a wonderful space to hang out in and share our thoughts! But now we've all moved on and simply left our memories behind :-) ...

Here I am, this is me (Sam)

About Me:

Libran

or may be a Scorp??

You see being a cusp fella is tough!! But then that's what makes me different, a bunch of contradictions and totally, absolutely confused...... confused sam.

Now, I have to introduce myself. This isn't an easy task, but let me try.

Hmmm.... now this is tough!! One can ramble on in an eclectic manner and say stuff that may be hard to decipher for the not so intellectual minded individual, else one can choose to be simple in approach.... I think I'll choose the later, for it is the simplest of things that can create the greatest of impacts!! Here goes:

I am a simple fellow, who loves to be the friendly soul around. Show me some good chocolate and music, and you couldn't have found a better way to bribe me. The rest u can figure out..........

On second thoughts, I'm an absolute nutter. Totally confused, lazy and crazy about good music. If you are around me, anything can happen.... good or bad, no guarantees! LOL!!
For the rest.... hey I am still around....... let's talk!! Cheerio!!


Personal Trivia:

  • I am Bong, but not the typical one..... and definitely not into fish and rice.
  • Crazy about music, I play the guitar and sing.
  • Though I appear to be very playful, I'm very, very serious minded, and am particular about etiquette.
  • Am a confirmed foodaholic, orkutaholic and now a blogaholic.... lol.....
  • I love to analyze people and dig into their thoughts (only if they are interesting enough!!) and I get amazing results.... and earn friends for keep!! :)
  • My friends consider me to be a smooth talker, mischievous, flirt, err..... and a few other stuff which should have made me proud... but then I never believe it!! Dunno why!!
  • Am very skeptical, and believe in something only after I have verified it's worth personally.
  • And I'm getting royally bugged just writing about me.... You may want to check out the post "BIG Quirky me" where I had listed out similar stuff..... and about 35 of those!!

Confused Gyaan :

" If you cannot present something in a single and simple sentence, that thing is either of profound significance..... else utter nonsense..... the choice to believe is yours!!"

Current Topic: My Favourite Childhood Memory

For a person who has spent his childhood travelling from Patna to Mumbai to Jaipur and then finally to Kolkata, I have a big treasure trove to choose from and I am spoilt for options. So I think I'll give you all a bunch..... enjoy!!

The first thing I remember from my childhood is trying to walk on the wall!! Surprised?? Well, there was this ad where they did just that, and I was determined to do so...... I still remember trying to walk.... while my feet did their duty well, my torso refused to defy gravity...... guess my first shattered dream.............

Was a foodie right since my childhood and simply loved the kitchen. Back in Patna, mum would set me up with some utensils allow me to create a racket in there while she would get busy around. And I would wait for the moment she leaves the kitchen to look into the forbidden areas.... So often I would end up being caught with a lot of those grains around me, which I would happily pick around :), and mum in an equally opposite frame of mind give me a whack!! Wonder why she never loved picking those grains and tasting them as it is?? Now, there was this one time, this would be warrior decides to enter the kitchen without permission. The coast was clear..... fast steps take the warrior close to the fascinated spot of the day.... and then SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!! The whistle of the pressure cooker goes off...... Surprised by this sudden and never heard of intrusion, the warrior scrambles to safety outside the domains of the now strange territory called kitchen....... That was the day.... from then till today, the warrior is still scared of that thing..... much as the Gauls were afraid of the sky falling on their head. Now don't you go and share this with anyone else!! Please................ promise me you won't!! :P

And then there was Ronita......... not much memory of her though except the teacher always trying to separate the two chatterboxes and failing gloriously!!! And then a complaint to my mum..... my first ever.... so you see I was influenced by the girl factor since I was about 3.... :D

Wish I could write on and on, but time doesn't permit me the freedom. So pull things to a stop...... There was this cranky old guy whose trees we would climb for some fruit (don't remember the name), then "kala kutta" a black dog who managed to terrorise us kid successfully when we were in Jaipur, and my sister once getting terrified of it just by hearing about it (I admit spicing it up a bit, wanted her out of my hair... had some mischief planned)... and shouting on the top of her voice "lala kutta"... she was just three............ or the............ enough!! no more........ lol..... so many years, so little space, so few words.....

I'll sign off here.........

Cheerio

Sam
