Interview??

I have nothing else to do, absolutely nothing...

1. Were you named after anyone?
Not exactly, but they tried to rhyme it with my cousin brother who is named Sagnik. They thought that might make me a brilliant software-engineer-earning-50,000-a-month type of a guy. I must say they had high hopes for me!

2. Do you wish on stars?
Never found any point in that. Stars are pretty to look at but rather unconvincing when it comes to fulfilling wishes.

3. When did you last cry?
I frankly don’t remember. Life is such a bed of roses for me…

4. Do you like your handwriting?
I love my handwriting. Some people say that I unconsciously use my handwriting to attract attention.

5. What is your favourite meat?
It has to be pork. I looove pork chops and wine!!

6. What is your most embarrassing CD on your shelf?
Best of N’sync! I rather not comment.

7. If you were another person, would YOU be friends with you?
Not at all. I don’t like people who don’t talk much and always appear to be in a world of their own. I wouldn’t be compatible with myself

8. Are you a daredevil?
I’m impulsive but moderately so.

9. How do you release anger?
I kick people. No, seriously!

10. Where is your second home?
My first home is within me and my second home is where I stay.

11. Do you trust others easily?
I make sure that I don’t have to trust people I don’t want to trust. And I choose people whom I can trust very carefully.

12. What was your favourite toy as a child?
Believe it or not, my microscope! I had it since I was in the 4th standard and was mesmerized by what I saw through it ever since.

13. What class in school/college do you think is totally useless?
Ideally speaking I think it is not possible to have a totally useless class anywhere but considering what I’ve been through in college, I think the whole education system is useless.

14. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Yes. I was born that way. Can’t help it.

15. Have you ever been in a mosh pit?
I tend to avoid them.

16. What do you look for in a guy/girl?
Creativity of any kind appeals to me more than anything else.

17. Would you bungee jump?
I might just go for it if I’m in the right mood.

18. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
No I don’t. I have to bend down a long way to reach my shoe!

19. What's your favourite ice cream?
Butterscotch with hot chocolate fudge.

20. What are your favourite colours?
White and Blue.

21. What are your least favourite things?
Pretentious pricks and ‘bangla band music’.

22. How many people do you have a crush on right now?
I hate this word. One of the most ambiguous words ever.

23. Who do you miss most right now?
I have enough of most people everyday and so at the end of it I don’t miss anyone.

24. What are you listening to right now?
It’s Probably Me – Sting and Eric Clapton.

25. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Deep Red.

Pleasant and breezy.

Ma.

28. The "first" thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Eyes.

I absolutely detest him for actually making me do this. I detest him anyway.

High on life!

31. Favourite nonalcoholic drink?
Chilled Black Grape Juice.

32. Favourite alcoholic drink?
Bailey’s Irish Cream! Yummm!

33. Natural hair colour?

Mom’s Chingri maachher maalai curry!

39. Favourite day of the year or week?
The day the book fair starts.

40. Have you ever been too shy to ask someone out?
No. On the very rare occasions when I have, I did so without even thinking. People tend to think otherwise.

41. Scary movies or happy endings?
Scary movies…they are so much fun!!

42. Summer or winter?
Winter. Should have been born in LLapland. I hear it’s pretty cold there all the time. I love snow!

Stoopeed people. I experience them everyday.

Whatever...

Haven't posted for a long time. Didn't feel like, didn't know what to write. Not that nothing interesting has happened in the last few weeks, its just that i found it stupid to actually sit down and narrate all these things. Its the post-exam blues i guess... the overwhelming lethargy at home and the uncontrollable urge to stay outdoors all the time.

Heard a lot of Hip Pocket in the past week at SPE and elsewhere. Sumit is superhuman! He is technically beyond perfect! Never seen anyone do all that without using a pick... I'm so proud to be a fingerstyle guitarist!! I still have hope...

Dont know why I keep going back to these stoopeed band competitions. I guess the stage is too alluring for performance artists. We came second (as usual) 'outperformed' by a band who covered Fossils! Thats the irony of my life. But thats it, no more 'competitions' for me. Its time to move on and let 'bangla rock' music claim its dominion over the college music scene! I have decided to wage war against them at some other front, some place where it will hurt them the most...*evil grin*

I thought performing covers was a learning process where you get to know stuff from musicians better than yourselves. For example, a guitarist covering a Pink Floyd song would aim to play exactly as David Gilmour played it and in the process learn a lot about a lot of things which would help him later when he attempts to compose his own songs. So a good band normally attempts to perform covers of difficult songs so as to improve their overall skills and technicalities. If thats the case the what the hell are these bands trying to prove by covering fossils, cactus and all those substandard, shitty bands? If this is the state of the college music scene then the future of Calcutta's music scene is bleak. Imagine going to Someplace Else to hear a band performing covers of Cactus! I'd rather end my life on a barrel full of vodka!

Anyway, life goes on...

I hate stoopeed tags but this one was pending for a long time, and I shall, as always, reluctantly oblige:

My perfect woman (sigh) :

1. Should be talkative ('coz I'm not) but should also be capable of intelligent conversation (I should be able to survive without using earplugs).

2. Should be a foodie and drinkie like me.

3. Has to be adventurous, ready to go places and do things at the drop of a hat.

4. Should not be whiny. I detest people who whine all the time.

5. Has to have a good sense of humour or else she wont survive 5 minutes with me.

6. Does not have to be drop dead gorgeous, decently cute ones will do.

7. Should not be pretentious and superficial. I have a natural filter against these kind of people.

8. Should enjoy dancing with me in the rain!

(Damn, can't believe that i actually wrote that!! Ha ha ha!)

I hate tagging people with such useless stuff so i spare all ye unsuspecting bloggers.

Now thats what i call a strange post!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .....

I have decided to hurl obscenities and sharp metallic objects at any instance of ‘bangla-band music’ or propagators of the same that I chance to encounter. This is UNCONDITIONAL. (The story behind this is long and disgusting and I’m not in the correct frame of mind to narrate it.)
