Se7en random things about me
I've been tagged by apnerve last week in a "meme" and now I am supposed to propagate this "meme". This is apparently called a "Seven-Random-Things-About-Me" meme.
Rules: As per the rules of the game, I am supposed to paste the rules of the game... so here goes
* Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
* Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
* Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
* Let them know they have been tagged.
History: Basically some self obsessed narcissist nutcase got bored and decided to write some stuff about himself and wanted to ensure at least 7 people read it and this was subsequently propagated by more self-obsessed nut cases and now is my turn. This theory also satisfactorily explains the technical term meme(ME-ME).
The common complaint is that people don't track back and I think I figured out why. As per a weird mathematically proved theory of social networking, every person in the world is connected to every other person by not more than 7 acquaintances. By this rule, Osama Bin Laden is going to be tagged and he will write the 7 things about him which will eventually lead to his capture and the person responsible for his capture gets a cool 5 million dollars. (Looks like our self-obsessed-bored-Narcissist blogger actually happens to be an OverAmbitious-OverOptimistic-SelfObsessed-Bored-Narcissistic blogger!
Now the 7 RANDOM things about me...
1. I day dream of myself as a person who will eventually make a couple of national award winning movies, retire by 40 and teach in the high school from where I studied in Rajahmundry.
2. Like all other great artists from time immemorial, I painted the last supper too.
I think Judas "nailed" it there
3. I HATE my gmail ID.
4. To not like a song composed by Rahman for me is blasphemy.
5. I am proud of my recently acquired photography skills even though most of the credit should to the gorgeous European landscape: http://picasaweb.google.com/mail2g2.rdl
6. I accidentally voted for the congress party in the state assembly elections recently.
7. I think se7en is a really big number.
Here are the people seven people I want to tag
1. pavan - because his blogs are very interesting and it is time he wrote something funny.
2. scott adams - because I have been every blog entry of his for the two and a half years.(btw he blogs almost everyday)
3. KD - because I want him to read my blog.
4. samhita - because it was after seeing her blog I felt like I should have one too.
5. Ashok - because his blogs makes me wish I had the ability to appreciate poetry.
6. prachur - because I am running out of people I know who blog
7. apnerve - because I want to see what happens if I tag him.

Es'sense' of humor
Ever wondered how all those funny guys come up with all the funny stuff? I did... in fact I have been doing research on that for one month now. Now most people I know laugh when I use the words "research" and "me" in the same sentence (even before I finish the sentence). May be it has got to do with my rather offbeat research techniques. For instance my research in humor goes like this. I try to figure out how I come up with funny stuff and then generalize the results on how all the funny people come up with all the funny ideas. "A rather controversial method" you might say. The surprising thing is that this is nothing new. Sigmund Freud did this all his life and he is now considered the father of psychology!
Sense of humor is an interesting paradox. It has no funny definition! Also, the notion of sense of humor changes with the gender. A guy is said to have a good sense of humor if he has the ability to make people laugh. A girl is said to have a good sense of humor if she laughs at whatever the guy-with-good-sense-of-humor says. I know it is unfair but yes, it is pretty easy for the girls, all they have to do is laugh!
Speaking of research, some topics are easier to do research on than others.
I'll illustrate most of my research findings in simple sketches because sketching gives me a lot of pleasure:
Here are some of my research findings illustrated:
Sometimes, giving pep talk to depressed bald people can get quite tricky. Even humor might not help.
