Eight things about me (varnam)

Eight things about me

I have been tagged by Sandeep, and so here are some random facts about me which will enrich your life.

I always wanted to be an astronaut. That dream came to an end on the realization that I puke even on the simplest of a theme park rides.
I hate bananas. This is considered very strange for a Malayali.
One of the countries I have lived is Brazil.
Till 1999 I had no interest in history. After that I got deeply interested, but there is no defining moment for that transition, unless it can be proved that the revolt against white washed history by the eminent historians lay dormant in my subconscious mind and during one session of meditation that vritti came to the surface and manifested)
I have met Dave Barry.
I cannot cook. The only thing I can make to perfection is green tea and that too only if hot water and tea bags are provided.
In college I (along with three others) hand wrote a monthly class newspaper which pissed of pretty much everyone in the class.
I had an e-mail address in 1993 in India.

Now I tag the following eight: Shanti, Niraj, Ravages, Jaffna, Patrix, Shantanu, Sabarish and Kuttan. I hope all of you have read enough chain mails to know what will happen to you if you don't continue this meme.
