Who am I?

THAT'S ME -------------------------------->
100 Pointers to know me... Well read on as a starter to know me. And for those who tell that Lakshmi its so difficult to understand you... here are some notes on me :)... Atleast this is what I know about me.

1. I am lazy.
   
2. I am not sure whether I will be able to write about myself but I am trying.
   
3. I love to sleep. I can sleep up to 36 hours at a stretch.
   
4. My friends in college called me “Sleeping Beauty”. I don’t know about the beauty part but I am sure that my favorite time pass is sleeping.
   
5. Sometimes I do feel guilty that I sleep a lot and start doing important work to feel better that I haven’t wasted time.
   
6. I cannot wake up in the morning at all. It’s a pain for me.
   
7. I can stay awake the entire night without any problem and therefore in college I was also know as “Night Queen”.
   
8. I love to sing although I believe my singing capability has deteriorated over the years.
   
9. I really am passionate about dancing. I need a choreographer though. My mind can’t think of steps and moves.
   
10. I like to keep my home clean and hygienic but tend to mess up the entire house as I hate to fold clothes. So I end up piling it up endlessly. I have to improve.
    
11. But once in a while I get so irritated that I clean up the entire mess.
    
12. I love my family. I am too dependant on my mummy.
    
13. I enjoy playing with kids. I just love the sight of them. I kind of get attracted to get hold of them.
    
14. I enjoy reading comics – Archies, Tinkle. I want to read Tintin and Asterix series. I read Reader’s Digest but I feel that the quality is deteriorating every month. I hate filmy magazines. Besides I am fond of Erich Segals’, Sidney Sheldon, Jeffrey Archer (Read his Short Stories), Harry Potter and other varied authors.
    
15. I watch Cartoon Network and Pogo and wait for Tom and Jerry and Mr. Beans on both the channels.
    
16. I am a very independent girl. I like to do things alone.
    
17. I am emotional as well, but I try not to reveal my emotions to everyone. I am quite secretive about it and selective about what I talk to many people.
    
18. I just can talk for hours together if my listener is an active listener and is participating enthusiastically in the conversation. A passive listener would not enjoy the company of my intelligent talks. :) I would just exchange a hello-hi with such a person.
    
19. I relish good food. Once upon a time I was a foodie but since I am gaining weight off late I am kind of having a check on my eating habits. In college my friends had rhymed my name with “Lakshmi Seth hamesha khaali hai pet”.
    
20. I love to eat Gol-guppas (aka pani-puri), momos, and burger from Mc Donalds. I loved soft-drinks and chocolates but stopped them to check on my weight and skin problems.
    
21. I enjoy traveling a lot and especially with my family. Never had the company of friends with whom I could have planned a trip.
    
22. I have a few dreams and want to fulfill them. I want to learn to play atleast one instrument preferably Guitar but I guess the “Muhurat” hasn’t come yet.
    
23. I want to do MBA but am not sure whether it’s going to help me in my career. I am scared of the preparation of MBA not the exam but the marathon preparation that’s required for that.
    
24. It’s really difficult to get into my good friends list but once you are there, I can go out of my way to help you in times of need.
    
25. I am very lazy to make calls.
    
26. I love my work but only if it is interesting and would require me to use my brains. Any thing monotonous would never interest me and I start looking for a change of work/ environment.
    
27. I like change of environment soon. I hate monotony to such an extent that I would step out alone to see some color in life.
    
28. I am sometimes very temperamental.
    
29. I am argumentative but not quarrelsome. I like healthy discussions a lot.
    
30. I like company of people who are intellect-driven and just would not crap around on useless stuff.
    
31. I remember lot of friends from past and love the feeling if some old friend traces me and contacts me.
    
32. I enjoy the rains and would love to get wet in rain for hours only if it doesn’t get me into bad consequences like falling sick.
    
33. I am hydrophilic and that’s the reason I like swimming. Its difficult job to get me out of a pool or a beach.
    
34. I don’t believe in the existence of GOD but I do believe there is some supernatural force behind everything. To be frank I am too confused. I don’t believe in praying and the norms that are followed in prayers.
    
35. Like I believe there are some supernatural forces behind everything, I do believe in the existence of souls, zombies, yetis, numerology, astrology and all the miraculous and super natural thing. That’s because I believe that there can’t be smoke without a fire. If there are stories there has to be some base to it.
    
36. Given an opportunity it fun for me to enjoy events.
    
37. I have always been into extra-curricular activities in school and college.
    
38. I have a bad temper. Normally no one can find out that I have a bad temper but show dishonesty, and over smartness and you have had it. This is the reason “autowallas” of Bangalore have an extremely tough time with me.
    
39. I am generous at heart. I can cry easily seeing helpless, poor people but I don’t encourage begging; especially to the kids.
    
40. My first crush was when I joined college. He was my class-mate. That was my first and last crush.
    
41. I love to drive fast but I am generally not a safe driver. I end up having accidents.
    
42. I don’t enjoy flights. But have to board them to save time and spend money.
    
43. I cannot save money. I spend it all. I never have a bit of idea where did all my money go!!!
    
44. I like company of honest people. I detest hypocricy and lies.
    
45. I didn’t believe that there is something called destiny that can affect out lives but since February this year I strongly believe in destiny.
    
46. I love the food that my mummy and papa cooks. It’s just that whenever my papa cooks the taste is awesome, but he tends to put a little bit more of chilly. And we end up eating with watery eyes and nose.
    
47. I hate people who blow shrill horns on road. Literally feel like bashing them up (only if I could).
    
48. 99.9 % of the time I don’t litter in public places. One can find lot of wrappers and waste in my handbag if I forget to get rid of them in time.
    
49. I wanted to become a commercial pilot.
    
50. My papa and eldest brother wanted me to become a Doctor. My second brother wanted me to hit the bollywood. My mom left it all on me and I ended up doing Engineering.
    
51. I have been to library only once in my life. Just to check out how’s the environment. It’s too tensed up and I never went again.
    
52. I am too cool for exams. So cool that I don’t ever study till the last day. It’s only in the last few hours that I realize I should study. The only exam I fear is CAT because of the preparations that’s required for it.
    
53. I may or may not be enduring.
    
54. I am quite kiddish at heart.
    
55. I love shopping But on my money. Haven’t ever tried on other’s money. Will try after getting married. :) (By the way his money will be mine :) )
    
56. I am a good and patient listener.
    
57. I don’t like crowded places. Especially temples which are crowded.
    
58. I can remember birthdays well.
    
59. I don’t like cooking on a daily basis but my friends say I cook well.
    
60. I love perfumes.
    
61. I hate Indian politics. I don’t even follow it. It’s more of dirty game than administration that it should be.
    
62. Mysteries and discoveries really magnetize me.
    
63. Surprises thrill me.
    
64. And I respect knowledgeable and talented people. (It enthralls me to watch kids perform on SA RE GA MA on Zee TV/ Boogie Woogie in Sony TV/ 30 seconds to Fame on AXN).
    
65. I was a naughty kid, a resentful teenager and a calm and fun-loving adult.
    
66. I fell down many a times as a kid. I would have bruises almost through out the year. (A fren gave a nice saying "As kids we always wanted to grow up and fall in love, but now we realise that bruised elbows are easier to heal than broken hearts.")
    
67. I love to watch meaningful and well directed movies. Recent favorites are Parineeta, Rang de Basanti, Munna Bhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munna Bhai. I generally don’t get the urge to watch English movies but enjoy them when some one suggests me to watch them.
    
68. I love to photograph lovely moments.
    
69. Give me a pencil and a notebook. I’ll spoil it by writing my name over and over again. I guess it’s a disease but not infectious. (its called marginalia-mania)
    
70. I Google for my name and my family members name.
    
71. My name is quite unique (now don’t get bowled over, I know Lakshmi is the most common name in India). I am speaking about the complete name. Lakshmi is mostly found in South India and Seth is a North Indian surname. So the combination is unique. I always wondered as a kid, if there was another female by my name and Google helped me to find that out. There is just another lady and at a very good position, Vice president of some firm. (I hope the numerology is correct and I too fly high :p)
    
72. I can be impulsive and stubborn at times but try and reason out.
    
73. I have no self-discipline.
    
74. I have lots of good friends.
    
75. I have broken two mobiles. :) The current one is the 5th one.
    
76. I like well-dressed men with a smart walk and good humor. The list is long and visit Orkut to see what my definition of Ideal Match (Google should pay me for promoting Orkut :))
    
77. When I am angry I speak English, when I am in a sweet mood, I speak Bengali. Normally I express well in Hindi. Speaking Oriya is a compulsion at times as I stay in Bhubaneswar. I code in Java and ABAP. :) Close friends say I speak none of the language fluently :(
    
78. I love to watch intelligent advertisement and sometimes wish I was behind such acumen.
    
79. I sometimes feel I should go to a solitary land, just be alone and enjoy/ appreciate the freshness of nature.
    
80. I hope to do something for the society. I have a very strong urge to adopt a kid.
    
81. I like when it snows.
    
82. I was once stuck in a desert storm and trust me the experience of snow and desert storm happened within a span of 6 months. It was exhilarating.
    
83. I don’t idolize anyone, just learn from others and try to practice good qualities.
    
84. I have a habit of reading road-side signs, hoardings; basically anything and everything that crosses my eyes while I am commuting.
    
85. In jewelry, I love finger rings.
    
86. I am not one of those feminine kinds. I gel with guys more than girls. And I gel better with not very feminine girls.
    
87. I like a lot of luxury. I believe in life-style but can adjust in any circumstance.
    
88. I am very emotional with respect to some of my friends.
    
89. I love rose. I buy it and gift it to myself. :)
    
90. I love to gift others; especially my family members. Its gives immense satisfaction and happiness to see their faces glowing with pride and content.
    
91. I don’t like people who mishandle my things.
    
92. I have a diary where I have my collection. Only two people have read it till date but not completely.
    
93. I generally don’t use short forms anywhere… be it making notes or using Short Message Service (hee hee hee well thats SMS :) and wanted to prove what I said. Well I do use the basic ones like SMS / MMS) or mailing.
    
94. I am scared of well-grown fat lizards and that’s why I drive away all the lizards from my home when they are small in size. Eeeks! The thought itself gives me creeps.
    
95. I am open to ideas. I generally do not contradict people easily. I just listen to them with open mind.
    
96. I hate to say, I am never on time.
    
97. In class 1, spelling of "hundred" was the toughest for me. I cheated on mom many a times; would go and ask papa for the spelling and write in the notebook. :p "Examine" was a word I could not pronounce properly in class 4. (my mom had a tough time teaching that). "Unitary Method" in class 5 and "Discounts" in class 9 were again something I had to break my head into. (It was my papa's turn now. He was extremely irritated teaching me :) )
    
98. I love to manage people and plan work. Give me responsibility and you'll see the best of me.
    
99. It takes a lifetime to know someone so all these hundred points might make a difference but you got to know me personally to know me. (And how much does it take to know one self… More than a life I guess.)
    
100. Well I have lot of time now as my project is over so I thought of some introspection.
