Kickasso tagged me after a push from my side, as I am absolutely bored on a Sunday morning, having nothing planned for the day other than washing my clothes and ironing the previously washed clothes. IOW, sheer boredom awaits me at the beginning/end of a week! Consequently, I decided to fill in the tag and spend some time. Btw, it’s very very easy to hack into a wireless network and gain access to Internet. That’s how I am online rite now. I don’t think they can charge me or anything anyway, so who bothers ;-)!1. Were you named after anyone?Yes and No!Yup = Grandpa’s name [concatenate with space] Dad’s name [It’s the tradition in my family to name the first born son after the paternal grandfather and the 2nd son after the maternal grandfather and same goes for the female gender as well. Anyhoo, dunno the complexity after that. :-D]Ravi = Renganatha Iyer + Vishwanatha Iyer [1st 2 letters of the paternal and maternal grandfather]Pangu = Nopes, Gautam christened me ;-)Guru Panguji = My own creation ;-)!2. Do you wish on stars?Hmmm, how many people have actually been on stars? And managed to wish for something from there? Reading too much apart, never wished on stars :P!3. When did you last cry?Well, as in felt sad and shed unconsciously a few of the cleansers? Well it’s gotta be July 16, 2006, when I left to Germany after I got one of the most memorable farewells in my life. The love was too powerful :D!!4. Do you like your handwriting?I love it!! Not to blow my own trumpet [Not that i can even with a real trumpet], I am supposed to have an amazing handwriting :-D!5. What is your favourite meat?A vegetarian for life :-D!!6.

How can someone not be friends with such a friendly, interesting, smart, talkative guy as me ;-)! It’s hard to ignore me when I am on the face of most of ze people I know ;-)!8. Are you a daredevil ?Depends on my mood really. I never used 2 be one. But then, college and friends there kinda changed my perspective. Since then, have never been really afraid or thoughful of trying out something ;-)!9. How do you release anger?Heavy Metal Song if I am home, with probably a puff, else it’s swear, scream, try n bash the other guy up [HAS TO BE A GUY, can’t harm ze ladies physically], even if he’s twice my size, and then have your friends ask you to calm down!! IOW, pretty much let it out ;-)!! However, these days it’s more like Have a chocolate and count to 10! Who am I kidding? Unless I count backwards from 100, my mind is gonna be too engrossed with the task @ hand of whooping some ass.10.

What do you look for in a girl?Well, I used to have a lotta heuristics if you will, but then they pretty much went to the docks, when I met my special someone, who’s so damn awesome ;-)!!
