I prefer multiple choice :-((

Hmmm... I've always been a sucker for filling up questionnaires.. I go anywhere and my frds/family shove the 'feedback form' at me - restuarants, shopping malls, cellular service companies etc etc.. I'm like their 'model' customer, even giving suggestions if I am really up to it! Hehehehe.. well essentially i like multiple choice.. choosing between this and that, thinking for more than one sec before ticking off whatever came to ur head first anyways, and ofcourse love filling up my company's employee satisfaction survey!! But, thats multiple choice, multiple possibilities, when u just have to choose something based on, mostly, ur mood! Isn't that how most things are in life too? U just have to decide between 2 (or more, if u're not too lucky!) choices u have, and take what u, at that point, think is better.. and then live with it.. but when u have to make ur own road... thats different.. someone's not handing u the choices on a silver platter, they're making u create those choices urself.. ummm.. now that sucks! Inertia, lack of imagination, boredom, risk averseness.. many things can make u hate this predicament.. u have to think of something that 'defines' u, and make ur own road..

Why all this pondering? I've been tagged. Probably couple of years back, this 'self-discovery' process would have excited me and made me really think about who I ,etc etc.. but its not that exciting now.. Why? I am not sure.. is it coz I don't know who I am anymore (having changed so much I dont recognize myself)? Or is it that I have never done things which have been imposed on me by someone else?

I was never the "fearing 10 yrs of bad luck, hence forwarding the siddhi-vinayak chain mail" kind of person, so I don't feel bound by any risk-perception to write this post.. but just for the heck of it (and becoz the person who tagged me didn't "mean any harm"!), I'll go ahead.. So.

I am thinking about starting my own business some day.. one day.. when I've mustered enough courage to 'make my own road'..

I said something which I didn't mean, and I keep doing that!

I am someone who has risen above the circumstances in my life, and would not like to be defined by them, however much it may be so sub-consciously!

I am also a bundle of contradictions, as a person.. most people have a predominant side to them which appears with most people, most of the time (apart from the professional/personal life divide).. but me, I contradict myself any number of times during a given day! I could be called 'serious' by some, 'funny' by others, 'senti' by some, 'outrageous' by others, 'conventional' by some, and 'spaced out' or 'unorthodox' by others.. these facades (they are all me, though) I guess depend on who the person I am interacting with is! There are people who don't even know the other side of me exists! But, I get the feeling this is also true for most of us..

I want to know where I'll be 6 months from now, and I want to know it now.. it doesnt mean I am seeking astrological predictions.. but curious to know how all of it will turn out this time!
(I also want to stand on the edge of a cliff and shout as loudly as possible!)

I wish I wouldn't forget the names of people I have met and places I have seen

I love 'doing my own thing', love my independence, and love the remnants of the conscientious person I used to be!

I cry when I am too angry, hurt or mad to express myself any other way.. and ofcourse, in every movie.. if i dont cry in a movie, it generally means the movie was really really bad (i end up crying in funny movies too, laughing too hard that i have tears in my eyes!)

I hear that little voice in my head, and it either ruins my day or gets me through it!

I wonder 'what went wrong?', and sometimes 'what went right?'

I regret 'putting myself down' in the other person's eyes, when i really didn't need to.. most people will not venture to say "no, u're better than that".. they'll just say "ok, I also believe that u are incapable" and then go on to either ignore u, make fun of u or tell someone else about it!

I confuse those who can't understand my (infamous) mood swings.. this usually happens with only those who are close to me.. others don't want to dig deeper and don't care, I guess!

I dance at the smallest pretext

I sing to myself

I am not always short-tempered. There are times when I can be very very patient with people, however rare and far-between these times may be!

I write coz I have ideas in my head that I want to put down on paper..

I need to lose weight!


And now, let me 'spread the cheer', as Chandler said (in a season 8 episode of Friends).. I tag The Vestige, Life as it happens, Candid Diary and aRbiT..
