I was tagged recently by Mysti. Tagging, as I was told, involves disclosing a certain number of secrets (five in this case) about yourself. Well, you know what, I’ve already let in on most of my secrets to you people, but here are a few more.
* I was a disastrous fielder. Uh, still am. I avoided mid on and point positions. My favorite was long on or anywhere else around the boundary line.
* When we played cricket at the community park, teams were made up of an even number of players usually. If an even symmetry could not be achieved , we played some sort of game that would elicit one kid out. He would be the odd one out. In street slang, such a kid was referred to as “crow”. It was a euphemism for “neuter”. So most people dreaded this title. However, if you were a crow, you got to play for both the sides. You’d come to bat in the end. I loved being a crow, actually, for this very reason. Also, this helped me escape fielding, something that made me look like a fool. No one dared tease me “neuter” as I was the boss of all kids, and whether they played was under my discretion.
* I have survived seven fatal (okay, near fatal) road accidents. That all my nuts and bolts are in their rightful position is really a miracle. Amen.
* I once got lost in Jammu & Kashmir during a family trip . What a wonderful place to get lost in, eh! In fact, I even managed to coax another kid to accompany me in my adventure (she was a year younger and daughter of my dad’s friend, who was with us on the trip). When we were both finally discovered, our moms were howling like werewolves. I was like, “What the heck, I had such fun, and they are crying!”
* I was a karate champ at school. I liked to lock fists with boys, and I beat them every time…until, uh, the age of 14 I guess. After that, something happened, and I figured fast that I’d never be able to beat boys again.
Ta-dah.
And now I am tagging the following people:
Scorp
Uncle J
Pan
Ottayan
Soulberry
Tell us your secrets, folk!
LOL… I was wondering what this tagging was about until I came here… give me a couple of minutes
here’s mine…
1. My mum cannot remember whether it was me or my brother who once ate his own poo poo as a toddler… judging by what I write in my blog, it is probably me… full of shit.
2. I would be starting a web design company in the next few months and if things don’t go well, I will have to sell my kidneys and other unnamed expletives to get through the year… and am bloody worried about loosing my only possession.
3. I was a good football player who played at the junior levels… donned a number 10 jersey and loved Argentina. At age 12, a bad leg injury during a match which put me out of school for 2 months was enough for me to stop pursuing it further. In cricket, I was considered someone who could bat reasonably well and bowl very fast. On many occasions while fielding, when the ball comes rolling to me, all my friends would laugh and chant “Kawa, Kawa” which means manhole (drainage) to distract me and unable to control my laughter, the ball will invariably pass through my legs for a four almost time and again.
4. A kitten walked into my house on christmas day. I’ve decided to take her in and named her Jingles. She is taking much of my time now and it is kind of crazy but I am very attached to it. Let’s just say I really really like pussies
5. I once read out to a colleague of mine that a pig has an orgasm of 30 minutes. He kept laughing and snorting like one for half an hour and our boss immediately fired him. I felt sorry for him and when he came to bid goodbye, he looked at me and broke out again laughing uncontrollably mentioning to me that there is no need to be apologetic, as I had given him a priceless moment. I only wish everyone in life including myself had such an outlook in life.
Scorp, you’re supposed to do that on your own blog.
I understand your love for the pussy. I love my dog more than I love my boyfriend (that’s easy since I don’t have one actually)
Oh jeez dinnie… I didn’t know that… ok will post it also on my blog
Dinnie,

Thanks for participating, folk. I’ll just check your confessions out.
Fantastic tag! :) Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back here to respond. Let’s just say life has been a bit hectic… as an understatement.
