ok, checked it out on wikipedia...apparently, im sposed to expose 8 random facts/ habits 'bout mself - wy wud ny one wan to no stuff lik dat? this e-world has gone mad, or was it always like this? doesn't matter, a man's gotta do what he's gotta do..
8 - Stevie King maniac - i've read "The Dark Tower" books (all the 4000+ pages) at least 5 times
7 - rock, hard rock, progressive rock, symphonic rock, sympho-porgressive rock, metal, heavy metal, progressive metal, symphonic metal...i could go on but i think you get the picture?
6 - closet introvert - if you meet me, you'll never guess how quiet i am when i'm alone
5 - formula 1 freak - thats the only time of the week that i'm obsessed with the television, vent my anger on the electricity suppliers, cable operators, the rain gods, the bloody government, the estate agent who showed us this house and even my wife if something goes wrong and interrupts my viewing
4 - sucker for dimples - just ask my wife ;)
3 - naive and arrogant - a heady mix
2 - travelaholic - the thrill of a new country or a place you've never been or have been before and love, is a terrific adrenaline rush
1 - nature buff - i'd choose to sit and watch the mist spar with the mountains, or the waves fight the shore all day than most other things;
i'm a stranger in a strange e-land,
all alone wihout a friend to hold my hand,
nor to tag, but thats the law of the sand
(sorry, couldn't think of anything else that rhymes!)
so, this is the end, my friend,
see you soon on the other side of the moon.
Days of Thunder (and lightning, tornados, cyclones)
since i've started this blog thingy rather late in life, i'm gonna have to re-create my past. and the first phase of my life that i want to "re-create"(certainly not re-live) are my CA days (the thunder, lightning etc. etc....)
i'm a survivor. i survived all that the ICAI (the institute that runs the "show"), my teachers, instructors, examiners, paper-setters, fee-collectors and fellow "students" threw at me.... i survived!!
most parts are stowed away in some obscure corner of my memory and that place to too dark and dangerous to enter...but i must because some of it was
good:
- i've learnt so much about how to face adversity
- some (most? all?) of my best friends are from my CA days
- i've got more work experience than most of my (non-CA) peers since i started working full-time at 18
- i've learnt how to work 16-17 hours a day - yes, it is a good thing (to learn how to)
- its added the letters to my name that really matter (ACA)
bad:
- i had to survive it!
- i missed all of most of my college years since i started working full-time at 18!
- i had to work 16-17 hours a day - no, its not a good thing (to actually have to do)
ugly:
- 8 years! i started in earnest almost 4 years later than i should have
now, i'm just another simpleton - a struggling, working class tambram (more on that last word later...) struggling to make ends meet. having dedication, loyalty, and blood, sweat and tears as your only real competencies can be tough but i seem to have got away with it so far!
the show must go on...

The Big Bang Theory
got your attention with the title?
gotcha! this blog has nothing to do with astronomy or science. on the contrary, "the big bang" refers to my entry into the world of "nothing's private any more"... (what hype?)!
the seeds for these "echoes" were sown on the day of the loss of a family member - my German Shepherd brother Kaspar. Kaspar was my buddy through the toughest years of my life when i was struggling through my CA days (years?) and he's surely made his mark on my world (quite a few of them on my hands!).
Kappy, if you are in another life and can read (english), then this one's for you, buddy!
