Countdown tag.

Raj has tagged me (thanks buddy), here it goes -

10 Favorites:
Favorite Season: Deep winters. I enjoy the chilly mornings, pink days and early evenings. Ah.. you should be in Jaipur to enjoy winters! Those fat Jaipuri rajayi. Steaming kadhi & bajre ki roti - eating this by the chulha on the terrace .. yumm (going Jaipur in Nov. end, should be great!).
Favorite Sport: I used to play Cricket and I did well as the goalie of our wing's Football team. Enjoyed both equally. As for watching - Cricket, definitely.
Favorite Time: Lunch time. I get out of office to haunt M.G. Road area, often with my camera. I rebel in me gets the kick out of getting outta office during working hours :) and the foodie in me is just happy to be along. I've been eating alone since Nandu left for Mumbai, but I've started to enjoy it actually :).
Favorite Month: February - salary in 28 days! Plus I was born in February, but that doesn't count now as no one gifts interesting stuff once you grow up :-S
Favorite Actor: No one could be such favorite to me that I'd love every movie of his, but I liked most of 'em by Jim Carrey, Jackie Chan, Al Pacino. Bollywood has very few "actors" (loadsa stars tho') and I like Irfan most among them (he too is from Jaipur, I believe).
Favorite Actress: I was drooling after Cameron Diaz in The Mask. Like Uma Thurman, Drew Barrymore too.
Favorite Ice Cream: Dry fruits, rum-n-raisin.
Favorite Food: Chhola-bhatoora, Pizza, Rajma-Chawal.

Current Time: 3:05 AM
Current Mobile(s) Used: Samsung R 220. I have been using this thing from the last year in college. Never felt like buying a new one, it serves me well.
Current Show on TV: I assume this means current favorite show. I like "The Great Indian Comedy Show" and "The Great Indian Laughter Challange/Champion". Watch "Super Sale" often & "KBC-2" if I hit it while surfing.
Current Thought: Lata Mangeshkar is great! ("Aayega aane wala" is on the winamp)
Current Cloths: Why saaar?! Anyway, dark grey t-shirt with three-fourths made out of a jeans I scissored recently.

8 Firsts:
First Nick: Chotu, still prefer that parents and relatives call me that. Since I was the youngest among all the cousins, they named me Chotu - so they tell me.
First Kiss: :-S
First Crush: Aishwarya Rai in her "donate eye" ad. I was totally hypnotized by those green things. Can't care less now, but the crown goes to her.
First Computer: Bought in second year in college. P III-650 MHz I guess.
First Vehicle I drove: I was perfectly in love with my BSA Hercules MTB till I was promoted to Bajaj Sunny. I learnt driving four wheelers on a Police Gypsy, of course. I drove all the way to Dhaulpur from Kauroli, highest point of my driving career. Now I'm all out of touch and rusted.
First Job: Oracle.
First Movie I watched on Pulse Global’s print: What is pulse global print?! Anyway, I guess my first movie in cinema theater would be Jeeva (*ing- Sanju Baba at his dopu best) in Hanumangarh or perhaps Mard (*ing AB) in Anoopgarh. Aah.. it was Jeeva.
First Pet: We had a Pomeranian, Bobby, in Hanumangarh. I've first memories from that place only, but I'm positive it was the first pet we had. It was a great dog, I still bear a bite mark on my thigh. Just love dogs, till recently we had 2 pomeranians at Jaipur. Both of them died and my mom is not keen on getting another pup, I so wish she does.
First Shave: Towards the end of XII.

Have You Ever Climbed a Tree: Many times, during childhood and afterwards.

Have You Ever Been in the Middle/Close to Gunfire or Bomb Blast: No. But we lived quite near to parade ground in Bharatpur and they used to fire there sometimes during parades and stuff, but I guess that doesn't count.
Have You Ever Broken Anyone’s Heart: Towards in end of my graduation, my B.Tech. project guide looked a little broken hearted. I never asked him about it though, so I'm no 100% sure.
