7 X 7 Tags

I usually am very reluctant to respond to tags. But This one was irresistable.

7 things I wish to do before I die

1 Watch a Michael jackson Concert
2 Read all 4 vedas
3 Write a Book
4 Become a Politician (Chief Minister of TN to be precise)
5 Do Something to improve/market/improve-tourism Temples of South India.
6 Live over 100 years. (I try to login-messenger/walk-in when people talk about me)
7 Make a mainstream commercial Tamil movie (With item dance et all)

7 things I do not enjoy doing:

1 Listening to some parents talking about acheivements of their kids. (No matter what it is I dont think too much of it. And Some parents have even praised the smooth way in which their kids soiled the diaper)
2 Do my stuff myself (Like wash my own coffee cup, plate)
3 Hard Work
4 Worrying about uncertainities (It doesnt stop me from being paranoid)
5 Being Politically correct - Make small talk just for the sake of it - Adjust to Society.
6 Play any form of Antakshari
7 Search for a job

7 things that Attracted Me to Blogging

1. Ekta Mehra was the first blog I read.
2. Voyeurism
3. I like Writing
4. I am a rabble rouser. This is a good way to rouse... rabble
5. Keep in Touch with other people
6. This ventilates my frustrations in life.
7. Good Timepass

7 things I say most often

1. Enna Nakkala (are u kidding)
2. Podalanga (Its a vegetable - but i use it when i want to say 'bull shit')
3. Narayana
4. Elai
5. Pullai ( i call my wife/mom/girl-cousins this way)
6. Ammmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaa ( The movie Anjali's lifelong impact on me - I say this the way Anjali says it when she comes back home and calls Revathi from her bed). - It freaks out a lot of people when i suddenly say it. My wife took a long time to adjust to this.
7. Dude ... Okie Dok..wokaaay

7 Books I like

1. The Vulture is a Patient bird - J.H. Chase
2. LOTR - Tolkien
3. Tintin - Herge
4. Vaishnavism - Srinivasa Char

7 Any K.Balachandar Movie - Moondru Mudichu - specifically

4 Who is It? Michael jackson
5 Andhi Mazhai Pozhigirathu - Raaja Parvai ( The way the song starts.. oooh!)
6 Ilarayaraja Songs from the 70s/80s

A funny thought occured to me while reading your '7 things to do...', would you cast MJ in your item dance number?!

anush,

dont worry! only 10% of those who have started end up in kodambakkam and only 1% of those will actuallly do a movie.

so our actual competition maybe less ;-)

Bharath, these days they do gene splicing and modification (genetic engineering-la) and you are talking about just blood components. Don't worry, where I work, "aaLaiye maaththidalaam" (Thillu Mullu Gundu Kalyaanam solra maadhiri) :-)

Bharath,
Your about me/blog is a kind of idea I've copied onto my blog. Acknowledged you for that. Thanks. Have also referred to you in the context of hypocrisy, I hope you don't mind.
And not sure if it is relevant/needed, wanted to apologise for a not-so-pleasant reference to you in one of my much-much-earlier posts. I'm much less childish now, and also somewhat understand what you were trying to say in that post on LKS' blog, so kindly adjust. :D
Oh and before you say anything, I'm also from PSBB, so... :D

Kaushik (TG)

Shucks, just realized I have a PSBB-related post in my blog's front page. If, in the unlikely case that you are going to look through any of my posts, ignore this one, illena naan kizhinjen. :D
Also, it's ok if you don't publish my comment(s), I was basically looking for a way to communicate with you, didn't know your email id, so commented.
