To start with the basics - what is a blog tag?
Well, remember those pesky emails and messages that arrive in your inbox and say - do this blah blah shit, or else marriage or something even more bad may happen to you! :D And then it also says, forward this to 10 really lucky people and make their life even more wonderful! Lucky people, seriously?
Well, blog tags are of the same clan, though the downside is not so bad if you dont do it. Just that the blogger who 'tagged' you will stop talking to you, visiting your blog, and a butterfly will probably die on Jupiter! Sigh! :D
A couple of months back, a fellow blogger tagged me on her blog, and then reminded me on facebook, and then threatened me on gtalk, and finally a death threat arrived by email! :O So here I am, obliging by the blog tag, and will probably pass this on to some of you! *evil grin*
Funny thing is the name of the tag - Liebster blog! Being from humble origins, and a college located in the middle of nowhere, I am not well versed with difficult GRE level words of English! So upon googling, I found out that it literally means Favorite. So Liebster Blog = Favorite blog! Honored, I must say ! :D
And now, I have to answer some 11 questions given to me by my tagger - Akanksha. ( I am skipping the 11 facts about myself part. Go read my blog archives, there are 11,000 facts hidden over there about me :D )
Q1) How and why was your blog born?
A1) Let me be really honest with you guys. The blog was started to impress chicks from all over the world, with my tongue-in-cheek humor, and my Shakespearean writing style. :D Those chicks who could not reach me directly, could connect with me through my blog. :P Alas, the plan fell flat on its face and the blog never took off. As per the current blog statistics, only 80 year old grannies from Alaska read this blog these days! :(
Though, on a serious note, Furobike was the name of my project in college, and I was really into some bike designing shit back then. So, I thought maybe I would make this blog a repository about my projects, and the interesting tid-bits I find on the net about mechanical engineering and design! (click here to read the full story)
Q2) Are you a mountain person or a beach person, and why?
A2) Why? Is it a crime to be both? huh! :O Well, I am a mountain person in summers, and a beach person in winters, or maybe it was the exact opposite! Seriously, I dont care. I am a corporate slave, stuck in the vicious cycle of toiling hard for 5 weekdays to earn money, and then crazy wedding shopping for 2 weekends, to blow up all the money. I haven't taken a holiday in about 10 years, and my life sucks! And I have never been to either a mountain or a beach.
Well, I guess the answer above is partially correct atleast :D
Q3) What is the one thing which you cant stand? Why?
A3) This is a really simple one! I hate buttering, and the people who do that. Buttering, as they say in hindi - makkhan maarna - is the biggest menace prevalent in our society. People do this in college to get 5 extra marks, do this in office to get 2% extra hike, do it in personal life - its everywhere! And why I dont like it? Because I feel such people have no self-respect and I hate such people. They should instead have be born as a cucumber in the home of Shelyn Chopra *wink* , or Aamir's pet dog in their next lives!
Once, I got very pissed about it and wrote a long post, in 2005 - Click here to read it
Q4) Money or power, if you could have only one
A4) Money! Before you ask any followup question to this - paisa deke to dekho, aadhi dunia nacha ke dikha sakta hu :D :D
Q5) What is your take on virtual friendships? Are they as real as real ones?
A5) Friendship is friendship. No matter what. Too much hulaboo over this question these days. Waise bhi, read my answer to Q2. I don't have much life, so I connect with my all friends over gtalk or whatsapp only! :P
Q6 In todays equal times, is it ok to ask a woman her age and a man her wage?
A6) And hereby I declare, this question was not written by anyone remotely punjabi. In our clan, whenever someone meets you, the first Q they ask is - Kitthe kamm karda paya hai hune? (Where are you working these days?) and the second Q - straightaway - is Kinna paisa dendi hai ee company tennu? (So how much does it pay?)
Same is the case with punjabi chicks. As soon as they stop wearing their elder brother's used clothes, people start asking them their age - Ohh 12 saal ki ho gai, chal 6 saal aur hain, fir to teri shaadi pakki! :D
Q7) If you would like to be a celebrity for one day, which one? Why?
A7) Isn't the answer obvious! Dr House!! And talking about why, click here to read my post on him.
Q9) Would you still be blogging five years from now?
A9) Yes, ofcourse! Where do you think I will go and crib about changing diapers and cleaning potties? :P
Q10) One annoying habit you have
A10) I love farting in lifts!Specially Only when there are more than two people. :D And the best part comes after that! I randomly select and start looking at one person disgustingly, and then prod others and point fingers towards that person while choking myself by pressing my nose! :D Hope no one who travels with me in the lifts read this blog, ever! :D
Q11) What brings you back to Akanksha's blog?
A11) Absolutely Nothing! :D I dont visit her blog at all! :D
LOL. I read all blogs in my Google reader, and never ever go to anyone's blog website! I am a high-tech guy, you see!
And with that, I announce the end of tag questions. Quite a long task, I must say. Phew! I totally deserve a raise for bearing with such a long tag (that I cut short myself! :D )
Now, the tag mandates that I need to pass this tag to some 10 more people. Sadly, I dont think anyone reads this blog anymore, so I can not pass this on. But, WTF! Whosoever comes to this blog and reads this horribly long tag, can you please take this up? (and let me know when you are done, it will be interesting to read your answers!
Adios!
