I turned 26 today. Since the day little kids started calling me Uncle or their parents started introducing me to them saying "Say hi to Kartik uncle", I figured that I am getting older(or should I say, wiser) now. :)
20th Feb 1983 was the day I came into this world. Looking back, its not been a bad journey at all. 26 years have passed, and I have lived each day to the fullest. So here I make a list of some facts which people close to me may or may not know (and maybe when I look back at it after I get really old it'll be good fun to read).
1) I am a Typical Piscean. I dream a lot. Spend most of my idle time(office time too :P) doing that.
2) When I was born, I didn't cry at all. I guess there was something to that coz even in sad times I try to be happy and cheerful.
3) I am pretty good at remembering dates. I feel very guilty if I forget to wish someone on their day.
4) I was really short when in School. I think at some point, I was shorter than the shortest girl in class and I use to live in constant fear that I will not grow. But thank god, I attained a decent height.
5) I am CRAZY about cricket. I can go on and on about it.
6) I am CRAZY about Hindi music too. I have a knack of remembering the complete lyrics of songs after listening to them a couple of times. And I don't know how many song I know fully.
7) I love to sing as well n do a decent job at that :P. I was quite shy to sing in public when I was young (for those who missed, I-am-26-now part) but now I am not.
8) I love kids and kids love me too... :)
9) Never in my life I have been in a relationship. So I dunno if I am lucky or unlucky in that respect.
10) My full name is Sri Ranga Kartik. When I was being named, my Grandpa wanted "Ranga" to be in the name come-what-may n my mom wanted to name me Kartik. So Sri Ranga Kartik is my name as in I have no family name or surname. Weird???
11) I am completely petrified of wasps, bees and other stinging insects.
12) I wish to get a tattoo done on me someday.
13) I am a Harry Potter buff. At some point in time I knew everything about Harry Potter(Story and Characters) in and out.
14) I always wanted to be an Electronics or Computer Engineer, I had vowed not to study mechanical engineering but I ended up being a Mechanical Engineer and I have no regrets.
15) This point I think everyone knows and agrees with, that I am a nice guy. A guy you can take home to your mom :)
16) Though my dad was a Naval Officer, I cant swim for my life. :(
