I have aways been wanting to pen down my portrait while seeing me in the mirror. Here is my first try to list 25 things about myself many do not know around me:-
1. I am proud to be a Pakistani and there is no compromise on this.
2. The Beatles continue to be my favourite band till date (since my childhood ).
3. I am very selective in choosing friends (don’t have a long list).
4. Being a Leo, lions (especially at National Geographic or at Lal Sohanra National Park where I could have been eaten away by the hungry lions) always fascinate me.
5. I love nature in its every form (this is reflective in my photography).
6. I am extremely hard working (if not very intelligent).
7. I like travelling, seeing new places (I would love to visit Switzerland someday in my life - if I got that rich) .
8. I always wanted to play guitar, but ended up listening to The Ventures as an alternative.
9. Till my 8th grade, I had a terrible handwriting, till grilled by my mother (may she rests in heavens – Ameen) and I corrected it (people now admire it :).
10. I abhor Urdu TV dramas (full of family intrigues hatched by women) on cable.
11. Looking down from a high rising building is ….
12. If someone confides with me, rest assured he has confided it with the right person.
13. I love everything that my wife cooks.
14. “How things are made” on Discovery channel is my favourite TV programme.
15. I love watching Tennis and sea surfing (though I like watching cricket and wrestling when my sons are watching).
16. I really cannot understand poetry, so I prefer listening to a song with good music.
17. I always wear matching clothes.
18. Generally people do not understand me (but those who get along ultimately regret having thought of abandoning me initially).
19. I like to eat every type of vending junk that is sold by the roadsides.
20. Paul Mauriat’s Love is Blue is my favourite.
21. John Denvor’s Annie’s Song and erstwhile Cat Stevens’ Morning has broken are my all time favourite songs.
22. Thorn Bird and El Chemist have been my favourite readings.
23. My favourite film? Well cant name one, but Heaven can wait, After the promise and To kill a mocking bird are some of my favourite.
24. Photography, philately and blogging are my favourite pastimes, while playing Scrabble on line keeps me busy when am not doing anything else.
25. The last one – my late father continues to be my power of strength (may he rests in peace in heavens – Ameen).
