I am finally getting to a tag by Priyamvada. I apologize for the delay but I hope this makes up for it!
The most enticing part of this tag is that you really don’t have to think, “again”!
It is a link to post five of your previously written blogs relating to the keyword “5 people who you have already met on earth”...or is it five people who irritate you the most….umm...i think it is…five people you love to hate…lets just settle with five groups of folks...you are stuck with...some with choice...some without your choice. (Alrite...the keywords are Friends (your choice), Family (not your choice), yourself (stuck with it), your love (she is stuck with u) and anything you love (your escape pods)).
You always start with Family and Friends just to make them feel good for putting up with your bullshit!
The one that gives a window into my life is the one I wrote when I reached my big 30.

The one that gives a window into my life is the one I wrote when I reached my big 30.
After watching the great many “last rites” scenes from “Gandhi”, “Indira Gandhi”, “Rajiv Gandhi” and “MGR” funeral, and also feeling morbid when I was admitted for Kidney stones (two jugs of beer apparently for the cure), I wrote “How many would attend your Funeral ?. Apart from these two, I rarely write about family or friends unless a tag from respected blogger forces me to oblige, like this one .
I don’t think I have written anything about me in a blog but the intelligent reader can always figure out who I am from all of my blogs and you all hope I become too famous so you can write a biography and make some money off it! (ohh...i love being narcissistic).
Blogs about love! Now, who can escape not aching in love, not wanting a certain kind of love, not cherishing the polarities in your love, not pining for your lost love, not pondering why certain triggers makes you breakdown in pain!
Love is a paradox with simple solution of accepting your self, loving your self and above all forgiving your self!
I am a pure Gemini which means you never know which twin you are going to meet at any given point of time!
Like any true desi, I love Cricket and I love Cinema!
The milestones in my life is remembered by the movies I watched in those years. I love to share my thoughts on movies that have been satisfying and not so satisfying!
I enjoy writing on things that are not so significant but they fill up our daily life!
I am also a passionate patriot (maybe Obama will borrow this line ;) )! I wonder about Desi and Un-desiness, the immigrant vacuum, the search for home, the search for Utopia, the root cause of racism. It is these epiphanies in your life that makes you move on with wonder and hope inspite of all the cynicism surrounding you!
Hope you enjoy these blogs as much as i have enjoyed sharing them!
I am supposed to tag 5 more people for this topic! All my old blogger friends rarely blog nowadays (like me)! Nevertheless, i will tag them to see if they come out of hibernation.

Hey Rama, I clicked some links, perhaps not all. I started with 'big 30' and was stuck there for a long time.. if that ditty glistened my eyes .. 'free fucking fall' brought a smile..
and I must say.. I was absoultely delighted to see a younger Sachin's photo in one of those links. It was an immensely gratifying feast of blogs and I shall return again. Take care,
Rama,
The posts you linked had the same punch-in-the-gut-honest quality that I so like and remember. Absolutely loved the polarities post, the aching post with a picture-I-cannot-see-at-work :)), the Funeral one....
And where, oh where, did you find that adorable cat-and-mouse picture? Is this a trick photo?
Priya.
Hey Aria,
Welcome to my abode!The past couple months have brought back great memories of "Old Sachin".Always happy to meet another "Sach"in person!Do come back!
Hey Priya,
Thanks for the tag!The cat and mouse story is very interesting!Wonder how our world would be when we are 80yrs old(still waiting for that instant 10-pound pill)!
OH CRAP!
sorry. I promise I will get to this early next week?
you know what, for the longest time I could not get into your blog for some reason.
anyway... GAH~ :)
Hi,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘MotoRama’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
