About
So you want to know more about me? Where do we start? Oh well, at the childhood years, where else.
Childhood Years:
As a kid, I was essentially a cross between Calvin and that kid from Taare Zameen Par, with a side of Dexter, and a dash of the other Dexter(though I have mostly recovered from that particular tendency… mostly). Some of my notable acts include falling into a pool of water at construction site, munching on pesticides, getting lost in a village, turning most of moms hair grey, overshooting the household “first aid” budget by couple of orders of magnitude, and getting beaten up by my elder sister. A lot.
Teen years:
As a teenager, I prettymuch embodied Jughead. Except for that stupid hat. I did not have any stupid hats. And the hating girls part, and the part about borrowing money from friends. And I wasnt in any band either. Neither did I have a dog growing up. Oh, and I am fairly positive my best buddy did not have a broken down jalopy either. In retrospect, it is a fairly crappy analogy, except for the skinny guy whos always hungry part. And the annoying sister part.
Grownup years:
So far so good! Part nameless hero, part xkcd, a bit of Leonard, a dash of Asok and a developing sense of Hobbes. Known to suffer from a case of House and that fish from Finding Nemo whose name I just cant remember and a card carrying member of Singles Anonymous. Okay I’m just too depressed to go on anymore. Lets see what others have to say about me.
Quotable Quotes:
“A dangerous overeducated eltist snob, the kind of radical who thinks that people should exercise more, use more common sense and be less hateful. Also, he shared toys with a liberal when he was 3. That makes him a socialist commie. I hope he fails.”
- Rush Limbaugh, wishing me great luck.
“[about North Korea testing a nuclear bomb] It sparked the kind of panic usually reserved for Satyam picking up a golf club.”
- Jon Stewart, as usual, nailing it.
“While walking, the Satyam often hunches to avoid his natural enemy… the low ceiling. Also, it is known to get restless when taken out of its natural habitat… the office cubicle.”
- David Attenborough, in his award winning documentary, “The Life of Geeks”.“… you are pathetic…”
- A Friend, again, lets not talk about it.
“… you are sooo sweet!..”
- The same friend, later in the day, after a well timed gift.
“Hey! Satyam In Wonderland, snap out of it!”
- My science teacher, though she was impressed to find out that I’d finished that particular chapter two years ago.
“Why would I want any more animals in my house? I already have to deal with you.”
- My mom, categorically refusing to get me a pet.
