In Kali Yuga (digital age- my version ), we impersonate many avatars. Your external look is a withered shadow of your real self. Yes, we are more masked than we were a decade ago.

Blame it on rising snob attitude, or fetish for material goods, or corporate life. We’re like pendulum oscillating inside one box, and that our own.

So, how do I rate myself? If you care, I’m one lazy, disorganized old fart, an arm chair dreamer, a man spouting with crazy ideas.

Now here are few stuff  I like doing, thinking…

• My habit of reading James Hadley Chase books still continues unabated
• Love sharing witty MAD snippets – Anyone who likes this – Who Knows what Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men) Sergio Aragonés
• It’s refreshing to read old National Geographic Magazines  
• Few other authors on my list ( Arundathi Roy, O.V Vijayan, Marquez, )
• Love exploring flea markets and pick odd stuffs
• It’s a long pending dream of having roof top garden ( Geraniums and Petunias)- 
• Get competitive and sport through sports – like T.T or play chess, cards
• Train trips is never a bore – esp diesel engines ( Taking random pics, & striking conversation with strangers in the train) 
• Travelling & exploring new places – finding quaint eating joints, meeting new people, etc
• Shutter bug ( Shoot anything that crosses my path)

• Hiking – Love exploring tropical forest, mountains.( Earlier went for several treks around Ponmudi range, Kerala).
• Share a cuppa with like minded people
• Hoard and by kitchen Gadgets – 
• Friendship with women ( Is there real friendship these days)
• Watch all kinds of movies ( like a lot of them) e.g. P.S I love you, My fair lady, Malayalam wit films
• Music ( from country hits to heavy ones) Fav : Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan – it changes from season to season as told at Myopusradio .
• Philanthropy – Give back to the society, random acts of kindness. ( Give cadbury’s to auto drivers, etc)
• Discuss ideas with people and how it will connect more people
• and another 150 more topics….
