My doctorate. Maybe something else too, but time will tell on that one.

today’s useless fact:
The average college student spends as much time using their computers for online conversation, or “chatting”, as they do for studying.
add blogging random, useless facts to the list too:
1. Who are you?
Satish, a 20-something nutcase, with waaaay too much work that needs doing. Oh, and believes he’s not completely stupid.
2. What are the 3 most important things everyone should know about you?
I can be very very caustic.
I hate falling ill, and acting stupid. (Both happen to me often enough not to be called rare.)
I love English. In any form.
3. When you aren’t filling out 5,000 question surveys like this one what are you doing?
Finding surveys to fill out. And not having any life at all.
4. List your classes in school from the ones you like the most to the ones you like the least (or if you are out of school, think of the classes you did like and didn’t like at the time).
English.
Math.
Computers.
History.
Science.
Languages.
5. What is your biggest goal for this year?
Actually be in a PhD program sometime in the next 12 months.
6. Where will you be in 5 years?
Still here, hopefully graduating from my PhD. And not have had a life for the last 5 years.
7. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I never want to grow up. Look mommy, I can fly !
8. Are you more child-like or childish?
I want to say child-like, but I just like being a kid. Where’d my jellybeans go ?
9. What is the last thing you said out loud?
“Have a good day.”Good day. Ting-ting-ta-ting. Britannia !
10. What song comes closest to how you feel about your life?
“Ironic” by Alanis Morissette.
11. Have you ever taken martial arts classes?
People used to think I was the top student in one. I loved Bruce Lee then.
I’ve got to stop saying things that make me sound gay.
12. Does your life tend to get better or worse or does it just stay the same?
Life sucks. Period. Whether its getting better or worse, depends on whether its better or worse now.
13. Does time really heal all wounds?
You’d think so. They’re just festering.
14. How do you handle a rainy day?
I don’t go out enough to play in the puddles. Used to ensure at least one walk in the rain when in Bombay.
15. Which is worse – losing your luggage or having to sort out tangled holiday lights?
Losing one’s luggage, I think. Nearly lost my laptop that way. And I hadn’t even got it then.
16. How is your relationship with your parents?
I love them, and they’ve always been there for me. I’m trying to ensure the latter is mutual.
Will you miss them when they are gone?
I currently can’t imagine life without them. Lets not go there, ok ?
17. Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you?
At some level. Don’t always focus on everything though.
18. What is the truest thing that you know?
Life sucks, and that you shouldn’t focus on that fact.
19. What do you want your life to be like, as the future takes clearer shape?
I prefer my future to be hazy now. I want to have done so many things done at the end of it all; that I don’t know where to start. So, I barely start anything. I’ll get there eventually though.
20. Have you ever been given a second chance?
In many things, yes. Did I deserve them ? No.
21. Are you more of a giver or a taker?
I try to be a giver. Don’t think that I’ve been a success at that though.
22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart?
Open heart surgery during decisions sounds horribly risky.
If you mean, metaphorically.. no.
23. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?
I wouldn’t remember. I suppress pain of any kind.
24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you?
Read above. The past is dead, as are many other things.
25. Who have you hugged today?
No one. People call the cops if you randomly hug them on the road. And ban hugging, remember ?

My mom called to ensure that I’m better from my cold.
27. Do you have a lot to learn?
Hell yeah. I don’t know where to start.

B Truly explore my potential.
C Get rich.
29. Which do you remember the longest: what other people say, what other people do or how other people make you feel?
How other people make me feel. I get that from what they say and do.
30. What are the key ingredients to having a good relationship?

as i completely frustrated with my lot currently, i’m going to do this. it usually helps. i think thats the only reason marie does them. they help.
bleh.
What is your salad dressing of choice?
I hate salad. Its an excuse of a meal offered to veggies, when everyone else hogs on roast chicken and the likes. The same goes for baked potatoes. Blech.
What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
There’s a couple of places back in Mumbai, especially Gupta’s at Chembur Station. Here… they don’t really believe in giving you the food fast. Prolly Pizza Hut, if I’m really pushed.
What is your favorite sit down restaurant?
Again, a number back in Mumbai. Orchid, Copper Chimney, Grasshopper etc. Here, no straight favourite. Probably Kury or something.
On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant?
Round up usually. No real calculations for me.
What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick of?
Paneer dishes. Curd and rice. Vengai sambar. Aloo karakari. Heaven.
Name three foods you detest above all others.
Broccoli in anything. Brussel sprouts in anything. Keera Mashial (a spinach dish).
What is your favorite dish to order in a Chinese restaurant?
Nothing specific. Maybe spicy vegetable fried noodles are more common in my orders. I like to experiment.
What are your pizza toppings of choice?
Usuallly go for the sets they have. Jalapenos are a must.
What do you like to put on your toast?
Butter. Lurpak at least tastes like it.
What is your favorite type of gum?
Am currently allergic to any form of chewing gum. I hate bubble gum because I can’t blow bubbles with it. Never happens.
Number of contacts in your cell phone?
79. Used to have more than 250 back home. And they all used to call.
Number of contacts in your email address book?
Have 3 sets of address books. Absolutely no clue. And I’m not going to count them to write it down in a meme.
What is your wallpaper on your computer?
This photo.
Have to change it. Need a better ‘Dead Man’s Chest’ hangover photo.
What is your screensaver on your computer?
Nothing. My screen switches off after 20 mins of inactivity.
Are there naked pictures saved on your computer?
Mine ? No. Anyone I know ? No. Celebs ? No.
In short, no. Naked pictures are lame.
How many land line phones do you have in your house?
One.
How many televisions are in your house?
One, but we don’t use it. Ever.
What kitchen appliance do you use the least?
Me, personally, the blender.
What is the format of the radio station you listen to the most?
I hate radio. Stupid blabbermouths shooting their mouths off while trying to remember where the ‘play’ button is.
How many sex toys do you own that require batteries?
Why would I even own sex toys ?
What do you consider to be your best physical attribute?
I don’t think I have any good physical attributes. If anyone else thinks I do, they should get their eyes/head examined.
Are you right handed or left handed?
Right.
Do you like your smile?
Not really. I don’t like much about me.
Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
My appendix. My wisdom teeth. Some other teeth too, I think. Or maybe that was a root canal. Hair has not been cut in a while, so that can’t be put on this list.
Would you like to?
Like what ? Why would I want to cut something off ?
Do you prefer to read when you go to the bathroom?
No major preference. I barely get any reading done in there when I do take something, anyway.
Which of your five senses do you think is keenest?
I wear specs, my nose is generally suffering from congestion, hearing is about average I think, and I know I can rarely taste and figure whats missing in something. My touch must be gentle, but I don’t know how sensitive.
Now, you tell me.
When was the last time you had a cavity?
Think I had one in Jan, when I had a checkup. Probably have one now. My teeth have never been good.
What is the heaviest item you lift regularly?
Used to lift kilos of bread when at “work”, now barely anything. At max a few kilos of groceries and my laptop can be counted towards lifting things. Myself – you see me, and you’ll discount that.
Have you ever been knocked unconscious?
Yep. Fainted due to dehydration too, once.
If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
Nope. The point ?
If you could change your first name, what would you change it to?
I wouldn’t. People know me by this name.
How do you express your artistic side?
Writing generally. Photography is a very random thing – when things strike the eye. Used to paint, but haven’t in ages.
What color do you think you look best in?
Black, and dark green. Maybe browns too. And thats ‘relatively not as horrible’, not ‘best’.
How long do you think you could last in a medium security prison?
Something I’ve often wondered. Maybe a half-hour, maybe my entire term – assuming I was in prison.
Have you ever swallowed a non-food item by mistake?
Yep. Loads of times.
If we weren’t bound by society’s conventions, do you have a relative you would make a pass at?
Nope. Never. I have my reasons.
How often do you go to church?
I’m not Christian, so I don’t have to go to church. I’m Hindu, but I don’t much go to the temple either.
Have you ever saved someone’s life?
Not that I know of.
Has someone ever saved yours?
You can say so. Nearly fell off a mountain, and was held on to by a friend. There are others, but this was the one time I thought it was over.
Would you walk naked for a half mile down a public street for $100,000?
Doubtful. Am I a millionaire in this fantasy, or a pauper ?

Kiss a guy… hmm.. very doubtful. I believe that every person has a hidden potential to be homosexual though.

Nope. Sex for money doesn’t appeal to me.

Nope.
Someone having a lot of spare money ?

Technically, I blog for free now. Never.. toughie. I hate being given conditions, so doubtful.
Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?
Assuming I want to close the magazine down ? But doubtful anyway. My self-esteem wouldn’t be happy.
Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
Thats just ridiculous.
Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?
A million to become a killer. Interesting. Depends on whom, I could say… but doubtful anyway.

I might do it for free if I was really in the mood to freak out everyone I know.
Would you give up watching television for a year for $25,000?
I don’t watch television now. But you don’t have to know that. Fork it over.
a tad less frustration, but i’m still feeling mean. beware.
