A colleague of mine suggested that I attempt this, I thought it would make a good first post for my new blog.

1. I suffer from verbal diarrhea.
2. I know that getting to the end of this list is child’s play for me.
3. I like to think I am quite entertaining…well at least most of the time.
4. I have a bad spelling problem.
5. I used Microsoft word to check the spelling of diarrhea.
6. When I get around to writing a book, I will have to acknowledge Bill Gates for creating a spell check option for Microsoft word.
7. I suffer from a chronic disgust for body hair.
8. I once played a role in a play titled ‘Vagina Monologues’. I played a role of a woman who was angered by her ex husband’s disgust for vaginal hair.
9. While playing the role, I made an honest attempt to feel the same things that my character did- she loved her vaginal hair and believed that without it her vagina would be like a “house without a lawn, a leaf without a flower.”
10. I failed miserably, but at least I hated her ex husband and felt happy that she left him.
11. I am a commitment freak.
12. I take an age falling for a guy, then have commitment issues and then take another age getting over the guy.
13. So most of the time, I am trying to get over a guy.
14. I currently live with my grand parents.
15. Most people think me a loser for it.
16. But I know I’d see myself as a loser if I walked out on them.
17. I love reading.
18. Amitav Ghosh is my current favorite, that explains the title of my blog.
19. I tend to get extremely involved with anything that’s important to me.
20. But that’s not a good thing, I can rarely focus on more than one thing at a time.
21. This is my third personal blog, I created it because I’ve given the link to my earlier blogs to way too many people I know.
22. Chances are that ten posts later, I’ll be trying to create another blog.
23. I dislike awkward situations, even those that don’t concern me. I often have the desperate urge to walk out of a room where two other people are arguing over something that doesn’t concern me.
24. I have a keen sense of smell and can freak out people by telling them the exact name of the perfume/deo they’re using.
25. But this is also a huge draw back, I can’t stand body odor. Smelly  armpits, smelly feet, smelly breath- they’re all a huge disturbance for me.
