Who am I?
It’s
becoming a trend or it’s a chain, I don’t know. And I don’t like to nominate
anyone for this. It’s about 20 facts about me. It’s really weird and something
unusual as I can write stories on others but it’ll be a challenge to write
about myself.
So let’s
begin –
1. I have a beautiful small family, who
stands by me through thick and thin. My parents, my sister, brother in-law and
the love of my life; my CUB, Kabir. I am blessed to have him; he keeps me going
strong and for him.
2. I am blessed to have some really good
friends around. They say, “If a friendship lasts longer than 7 years, psychologists
say it will last a lifetime.” My list of friends is long but would like to
mention few and they’re Saharsha Raj Sabharwal, Manan Kulshreshtha, Anant Acharya, Luvleen Benbi and Rajat Gupta.
3. I love to ride my Royal Enfield.
Though I haven’t been to any long journeys but the moment spent with RE is
worth preserving. It’s been eight years and our love is growing strong.
4. The thing which I love to do is
Photography, I admit that I don’t have much of technical knowledge in it but I
know I have the eye for it. I like to click and get clicked. ;)
5. I am a follower of Ernesto Che
Guevara, Chandrashekhar Azad and many more rebels like them. I think it’s
within me to act and think like them. I always wanted to have a Pen Name like
CS Azad, it was “Balraj”. If I ever going to have, then it will be “Raghav (on
my dad’s name)”.
6. Music is my time machine. I can
listen to it 365x24x7. The bands I love are Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Doors,
Coldplay etc. Indian classical from Sitar to Sarod, from Santoor to Sarangi,
these instruments can take me to the moon.
7. I love to meet different kinds of
people, from different region, religion, love to observe them and that’s why I
am an HR consultant. I know in my job the money is less but the satisfaction is
more.
8. Though I used to hate History in my
school life but from the last 5 years, I have started loving it. It not only
increases your knowledge but also let you meet your roots and soul.
9. At one point of life I really wanted
to get married to the person I loved but then she left as she couldn't take a firm stand. Now there is only one love and i.e. self-love. I want to grow with my family. Partner or No partner, doesn’t matter. I can live my dreams
which are mine and not shared. Of course, I really want to adopt a daughter and
name her Roli or Myrah. Let’s see.
10. I am very moody. The mood can change in a
blink. Yes, I go angry and take time to calm down. I don’t know why I am like
this. But since I have seen lot of broken trusts, I am fine with the same. If
I go silent after an argument, it’s a sign for you to shut up. I can’t
argue with you anymore. Moreover, I only argue if I am having the facts with me.
11. I love to travel, be it trains, bus, car or
airplane, or for that matter by any mode of transportation. And I like to
travel alone most of the times so that I can have some quality time with
myself.
12. Though I am not that big to do charity but I love
to contribute a smile on someone’s face. Like to spend time with oldies,
differently able children and children who are not that privileged.
13. I don’t know whether it’s a girl thing or a
boy, but I like to collect different pairs of footwear. I have few and want to
add more and more. Also, I love to pick different kind of caps.
14. I am a foody and can survive on liquid diets as well. Food
should only include Non Vegetarian (strictly). Drinks can range from Nimbu Pani
to Beer, Coke to Rum, Juices to Whiskey and Coffee to Wine.
15. I personally don’t like to try new food or new
restaurants. Old School favourite joints I’ll prefer else if you want to take
me for a trial then you should make sure in advance that the food is good and
you as a company.
16. Jim Morrison, William Wordsworth and few more are
my favourite poets. They used to write from their soul, experiences and observations.
Well I think, I also do the same. You can check the same on my blog where I've expressed myself.
17. I don’t forgive and forget that easily, be it
love, hurt, dates or anything. You can blame my Mumma for giving me Almonds
every morning but that’s a truth. Well sometime I suffer because of the same but
otherwise it’s a good thing I believe.
18. I am very punctual; if you’re late by 2
minutes then you’re gone. I can actually leave you and the place if you don’t
respect the time, especially when it’s mine.
19. I love my birth place Ajmer, my home place
Jaipur a lot. Other than these cities, I like where my friends and family are,
then the place doesn't matter.
20. Lastly, I shampoo my hair every day; I love to
sleep and I sleep in no one position, my bed, and no rules. I hate when
somebody ask me to try weird vegetables :P . I hate cooking. Like chocolates, love
playing any sports (I was zonal / national level swimmer). Like to watch
Tennis, F1 on Television. Love watching movies (I can’t see all and yes I am
choosy).
That’s a
hell lot of stuff about me; if I've missed out something then it’s your bad luck.
For the world I am still a mystery. Cheers
