I don’t know what a tag means. But here I am, tagged by Marauder’s Map. I have to do what my tagger has asked me to. So, here goes:
Seven things I plan to do:
1) Grow hair on my scalp. SOS Dr Sarkar of the Arnica-trioffer fame.
2) Be more articulate.
3) Have a proper English breakfast on a sunny Saturday morning
4) Play cricket with gay abandon, like I used to do many, many years back, and bowl toe-crushing inswinging yorkers.
5) A road trip down the Malabar coast, preferably from the northern tip of Goa to Trivandrum.
6) Time travel to the sixties and tour with The Beatles.
7) Flush and pee, and finish before the flush whirl ends.
Seven things I can't do:
1) Grow hair on my scalp.. alas
2) Deal with things financial like investments and filing returns.
3) Put an end to the compulsive habit of zapping mercilessly, and then getting stuck at Fashion TV. (I really like the fine cut and the fall of the outfits)
4) Understand the Eric Segal phenomenon.
5) And the brouhaha over graphic novels. And why Kill Bill is seen to be such a cult movie.
6) Be suave and act sophisticated, like the guys they show in Raymond’s ads and all
7) Flush and pee and finish before the flush whirl ends.
Seven things I say quite often
1) Abe saala
2) Gajjjab beta
3) Anyways…
4) Maaaaan (In the Carribean/American black accent)
5) Ki be? Ki khobor? (Or, Kya be, kya haal hai?)
6) Cholche… Ei aar ki…
7) I’m on a story (Mostly as a deterrent against more work)
And I tag ghetufool, passing shots, raconteur and acidrocks.

Dr Sarkar of Arnica Triofer may well give you a year's supply for free if he hears yours and Tridib's soul-stirring performance of their ad jingle. It gives me goosepimples every time.
Road trip v good idea. I want to come too.
Erich, not Eric, Segal. Though your unconscious error doesn't pain me as it once would have, for you would be glad to know I have completely grown out of him. Honest. Couldn't get beyond a few pages of Doctors sometime back, convincing me finally that I had grown up.
Flush and pee totally awesome. Makes me want to make a list of my own strange obsessions.
MM: That jingle is our best-selling single (accompanied by a metal-like video).
And as far as the road trip is concerned, will surely consider your request.
And thank god, you've grown out of the "shrewdly-written mush".
how much hair have you lost already?
You like the cuts and falls of the outfits on Fashion TV...(ya sure...i believe you.)
true successor to your previous post.
what should i say you for tagging me? thanks or @!!&&???!!.
i chose thanks
And yeah, KILL BILL IS GOOD. PERIOD.
Jodi Amake Antel Bolo Ami bolbo Mathamota/ Jodi Amake Chokka Bolo/Tumi tobe kichu janona/ Ami pocha film banai/ Tumi tate mughdho theko/ Amake neka bolo na, Amake Neka bolo na/ Rituke Neka Bolo Na, Ritu Ke Neka Bolo Na
(Pichone chorus) Horibol Horrible Horibol Horrible Khate Tol Khate Tol ... Fade Out
Ph: Do the Delhi-Dehradun-Chakrata road trip. Its absolutely fantastic.
Ghetuful: Thanks for chosing thanks!
The Jibanananda allussion was great, so was the Chandrabindoo rip-off.
Gypsy: It's not funny. It's the driving force in my life!
