1. I don’t read much, contrary to the popular belief. I’m a slow reader. The last book I remember reading was Alchemist; and that was like a year or so back.
2. I suck at grammar and spellings, sometimes. I’m not without my times, when I fall short of words. I used to think, I’d some learning disorder.
3. I was an average scorer in English at school. I never, had “content”, save “style”, teacher used to tell me.
4. Everybody in my childhood thought I’d grow up to be a Scientist or somebody. I used to be called, when something went wrong around the house.
5. I never knew how to use a mobile phone, until like a few months before I laid hands on my w810i. I was scared to use someone else’s phone, thinking that I’d press some button and make the thing run wild.
6. I was the naughtiest kid in the block, in my kidhood. I used to pee from windows. I used to stone visitors who came to our house for no particular reason.
7. I love cartoons. The favorites include: Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Dexter’s Lab, Popeye etc.
8. I used to do decent sketches myself. I was asked to teach drawing by a then egghead in class, longago.
9. I used to have a good handwriting, till I was in 10th. Teacher used to get my notes to dictate notes to other class pupils. There were students who envied, my handwriting!
10. I’m a what you’d call a bibliophile. I love to collect books. I like to buy books which I really like. I don’t like old books much. I like the smell of new books. I like the smell of old books as well. But, I like new books more. I don’t like dog-earring my books. I like to keep them in perfect shape even after I read them.
