 Hi there!
                 In case u thought I had got my just desserts and had been doomed to spent the rest of my life in Timbaktu , this blog is bad news..I'm hearty and sane, which means that my customary drab posts will keep coming till my faculties choose, on a fine morning, to ditch me like yesterday's news. My good ol' friend DC's comment on my last post set me 'thinking', a lot more seriously than is my wont. Being the undiscerning person that I am, I took his words very seriously.
Little did I realise that it was actually a subtle chide,imploring me to stop my queer gibberish. But all this is besides the point. One of my buddies had tagged me aeons ago,& after looking at the state of my blog, probably forgot all about it.The deal was to write 6 weird things about myself,ergo...

1. Contrary to the vox populi,I don't suffer from any form of Caligynephobia(fear of beautiful women). Over the years, some unkindly people have gone up to the extent of asking me whether I've taken an oath of celibacy. And not completely without reason. My social skills are,charitably put,very poor.But I'm improving.Some day........
   
2. It takes me close to an eternity to put my thoughts into words. This can be partially explained by the fact that my thoughts have to meander through a lot of adipose tissue before it can reach my hands and eventually,my fingers.Or its some form of a dyslexia!
3. I've always considered myself to be a good actor.In fact,my acting skills have saved me a lot of trouble, especially at home.Period.
4. I have this wonderful gift of appearing more talented or intelligent than is the case. I'm the  perfect case in point for the saying 'appearances are deceptive'. And often, people get fooled, the latest being  my employer MindTree. It's Upshot: Mr Ashok Soota will be losing some hair and a lot of sleep in the near future.
5. I dont know why,but I'm pretty scared of talking to strangers on phone.
6. I suspect the waiters at my favourite food joint don't particularly like my presence. And  I'm not too surprised.If there's one thing that characterises my weekly jaunts,apart from my homer like appetite, its  my  stingy tipping habits. But then,I've started to change.The other day,I left a brand new 2 rupees coin.The waiter musta been overjoyed!
