MY CRAZY EIGHTS

Here I am once again writing this TAGBLOG,  I don’t know why she chose this number “EIGHT”, whatever may be the reason, it sounds good (after having bottle of chilled Penotage, everything sounds good).

So here are my Crazy Eights.

Eight things I am passionate about

1.      My WORK, Fortunately there is just one way of doing the things I do, even if someone else does it; it has to be done the same way, so I am never bothered whether it is MY WAY or not.

2.      Books – Books are the best companion (I feel).

3.      Playing Basketball (outdoor) and Playing Midtown Madness on PSP(Play station Portable) with my son. I always beat him in scoring baskets but I have always been beaten by him on his Play Station.

4.      Zorro, My dog, He is the best buddy.

5.      Cooking, My wife and son love my cooking. Wife because, she gets a much needed break and son because he loves it.

6.      Cracking Mensa Questions. It is real fun to attempt those against time.

7.      Helping others without any pre-condition.

8.      Photography.

Eight things I want to do before I “Fade Away” (My clan never dies, we just fade away).

1.      Work with old people and terminally ill patients.

2.      To do skydiving, have done lots of para-jumps but one frontier is still left.

3.      Write a book.

4.      To have a self-owned Mercedes.

5.      Motivate my son to break records in swimming and athletics (which I made in school and some which I could not break ever at senior level).

6.      To be a better human being than what I am today.

7.      To make up for all the time which I could not spend with my family. 

8.      To be a teacher at least for some time and motivate young kids to strive to be a better human being.
