About me now

Now that i am writing for my profile, i'd like to mention that i've somehow fallen into the concept of keeping a low profile. LOW PROFILE not as in some dumb lines like "i am what i am" or "u gotta ask my friends to know that". oh c'mon. there wud b only two categories of ppl looking into your profile. one, who know u or have met u so much so as to add u in their list. they wudn't need to look into this section of your profile neways (technically speaking. though i luv to go thru the about me sections of ppl whom i already know). two, those who saw ur testimonial or scrap for a god-damn beautiful lady here on orkut (if u r a male), or those who saw ur picture in someone else's scrapbook when u scrapped the third person (if u r a non-male). so, only in the latter case does this section of your profile really holds meaning. and writing short dumb lines like those told above, wud beat the purpose of ABOUT ME section altogether then.
so, talking about low profile, i've always been writing huge stuff for myself, and may even do that not-knowingly, this time as well. i've always been enchanted by the super ecstasical attraction of limelight in the past. being noticed for wat u do (which mostly included in my case, playing pranks, doing wierdo stuffs, laughing loudly or mocking some one real bad), being talked about. not so any more. i've been convinced that u dont have to b in the limelight or u dont have to have a magnanimous PROFILE at all times. u dont have to ridicule other ppl to grab someone else's attention (someone else either refers to a grp of ppl or, mostly, a lady). u dont have to laugh away in class for no reason whatsoever, just to make the teacher feel horrible about himself or herself. no, u dont have to do that. u only need to have to do something extraordinarily productive for the humankind as a whole (ahem....yeah cudn't mince my words lesser) to grab that limelight. u just need to be NICE, to everyone u do give a damn for. for everyone else, why shud i care? there definitely might b someone else who'd b caring a bit about them as well. so then, i dont have an obligation towards them to care about, and hence i dont even need to pull their attention.
Therefore, LOW PROFILE is the word. keep rocking.

About Me

This is what i've been keeping in my Orkut Profile uptil now. i wanted to update the section. so i thought i'd preserve this thing here. i kind of......love this.

5 feet 9 inches from tip to tip (tips taken as bottom and top, one at a time). normal in all respects, excepting the following -
1. nose a twitch larger than proportionally required, so as to place symmetrically between the two eyes.
2. has a short memory span which lasts newhere between 3.6 to 7.84 microseconds, when it comes to lectures involving reductive methods of extracting pure lead (Pb) and henceforth.
3. stares for an invariably long period into empty spaces, thereby putting the brain either on shuffle mode or standby.
4. has low affinity for water at temperatures ranging from 283.7 to 298.7 K.

i derive ultimate pleasure out of screeching voices, aimed at me for reasons whatsoever. about some of the most important people in my life -

Dad is a hunk. he puts immeasurable effort into making me count my blessings and not ask for 3 recharge coupons of rs. 100 each for my cell phone, each month.

Ammi jaan makes sure i've got my both ankles and wrists in place, the first thing in the morning, keeping in view the frequent sprains resulting from careless sleeping positions of mine (ahem..). ritualistically, wakes up at 2 am every night to make me realise the differences between the Owl and Human Genus and puts me to bed.

Haaroon doesn't care, about nething. all he cares about is setting reminders on a dozen cartoon channels that show on the TV. reckless bicycle riding and roller blading has a new messiah in him.

Pranjal seems to b on a never ending spree of finding flaws with stereotypes and tricking people into misleading arguments about the already established facts of life.

Shanky wants to b a rock star. sets no priorities at any point of time. thinks hard about the most insignificant and inprofitable things in life.

Aarav is one DUDE, for sure. his call-me-and-tell-me-the-venue attitude gives him invariably high ratings.

Zenab can never think of nething not to talk about. has bonded ionically to her cell phone and wudn't be happier if even food and water were sms'ed to her. is totally messed up but a darling, nevertheless.

Mehul wud never plunge into a conversation of ne kind. answers in monosyllables, and takes mammoth effort to say "bye" on phone.

Sufy has taken a vow to never stop laughing. has a stunted growth and has always attended skool so as to oblige to our very need of her esteemed presence in the class. plans to.....oh, never mind.
