But some things in life never change
--------------------------------------
I still like classical music along with hard rock/metal
I still like participating in technical discussions
I still like to mix technical jargon in my day-to-day speech
I still like stress testing my comp
I still like to hang out with friends
I still like to spend time with family (esp my 1 yr old nephew!)
I still am myself...
Coincidence!! I was going to write about the same thing!!

ReplyDeleteWhat about "I did not fancy myself as a photographer, but now I do? ;-p"
ReplyDeletekeshav - hey, you write your version of the same thing man - i'd like to read... and ya, i was scared to ask questions in newsgroups, 'cos people there tend to blast you if the question is silly!
ReplyDeletenaren - i can see many ppl around me. what you think abt me is your opinion. i don't think i'm a nice guy anymore - that's all...
sub zero - welcome to the world of blogging! :) yes, i can definitely add that. but since you've already mentioned that in the comment, i'd leave it there :P
Seems like u have changed...but i dont know...Change is the constant thing in life...
ReplyDeleteSo many questions.... y then is not there now??
arathi - so many different reasons for why then is not there now... i can provide reasons for a few of them but not all - you want me to mention them here?
ReplyDeletewell some private things u need not disclose.. but like y u dont pusue or hobbies anymore... such things u can surely post..
ReplyDeleteviolin/singing - very less time and dwindling interest
ReplyDeletecricket - no time, even though i want to play. sometimes, i do get to play during weekends
walking at night - lost interest
read books - no time, spend more time with computer - that's why
travelling - propelled by my interest in photography
boy-bands - part of growing up i guess :P
these are reasons for some of the changes...
