/riya brought this upon me... a looooooong time ago.. adn i finally got to writing it...!
some day i shall remember to thank her for this. :)

life ten years ago:
Odd, awkward, aimless.
i wasnt born that way, they made me like that, full of dreams void of directions. another cog in the wheel destined to become a spanner in the works. one way or another. fresh out of high school, I dreamt of becoming a research scientist, which got lost somewhere in the transition between the child and adult. the glorious future replaced by the multi flavored present. the rude shock that i am now at the crossroads that would lead to i-know-not-where. into architecture by chance, not sure if belonged. they were weird times.
music: the birth of the metal junkie. introduced to it by an acquaintance trying to showoff

Life five years ago:
angry, smitten, determined.
it wasn't over night but it was somewhere now. from the reluctant entrant into the world of architecture and design, i fell in love with it. no longer a design virgin i was hooked like an addict. my friends took up alcohol i took to fantasy for kicks. angry at the system for keeping me in the dar about the wonders that design brings. angry that i didn't know then what i know now. determined that i would better what they ruined. make up for lost time. load up on junk and get the show on the road.
music: deep into nu rock. heavy metal, death metal and all things that sounded rebellious, introductions were made with classic rock too... U2, rush, lynnard, DT were made...

Life tomorrow
certainly uncertain.
music: metal still rules, right besides, house, electronic and classic rock...
Five locations I would run away to
i dont think places are special. its what we make them with the things that we do that make them special.
my top 5 hideouts:
my imagination, alone, with characters, and the things they do.
a road trip to nowhere, dirt sweat, caked mud on a throbbing head has its own charm. this i would do alone, no baggage, emotional physical or otherwise,
a movie theatre, the matrix trilogy, kshitij, dey and a lot of coke.. not snorts, liquid, not diet, the stuff that real men drink!!
the beach at pondycheri, friends, food and fights....
bangalore, friends, food and ram to take shots at! (sorry ram but u are the best part!)

5 bad habits:
y top five, i leave that to you...
this is what came out of an exercise on a very long and cramped plane journey...

fear of responsibilities
confused
short attention span
push over
aimless
talks crap
lazy
indifference to attire
no tact
spendthrift
inconsistent
emotional
afraid of women? (i dont know what made them say this.)

Five things I will never wear:

motorbike and an open road
good movies
new music

Something to achieve by next year
c l a r i t y! would give anything for it!... absolutely anything. just show me what it is that i want. a definite answer to anything. but ya otherwise, a new bike, a longer ride, a faster run, a smoother road, a cleaner beach, and someone to understand why! if not ride along :) and a million bucks... any currency.

Something that impacted me last year
18th march 2008, the maiden concert and everything that happened around it!, (you know who you are)
What I will miss about 2007
everything and nothing. it changed my life in more ways that i know and more ways than i would like to... its was the best and the worst year of my life, this phoenix burnt brilliant in 2007 !

Five things I want to do before I die
World domination.. and wont take no for an answer.
waken festival
road trip on a bike that i hand built across all 5 continents
skinny dipping in the Antarctic.
and stop a speeding bullet... just once!

and now to inflict this on to the next breed of suffering bloggers... I would like to introduce ... Sam , sister and r3fluxx, may you feel what i felt while writing this post. :)

cheers!
