About me – Redoing it

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Hi I have had a few emails asking me to update my about me page and asking me other questions , So I thought of putting up this post that I had written a few years back, It still stands correct .. hopefully you can know me a bit more after reading this one 🙂  Also there are some who have been emailing a couple of my friends asking them what sort of person I am , I don’t know why it is necessary to ask and why not ask me directly, (by all means please skip reading as its nothing but stupid stuff)..  I want to say to them

pooch-tay haiN wo ke BIKRAM kaun hai
koi batlaaye humain ki hum batlaayen KYA

(they ask who Bikram is, Someone Tell me What DO I TELL THEM)

You know we go to some sites they ask us to create our profiles etc , and then write something about ourself .. The dating sites.. Blogging sites.. etc etc (yeah before everyone raises their eyebrows.. I am talking general.. I don’t visit dating sites , yeah Well actually not that OFTEN he he he )

So what do we write in there, do we know about ourselves so much as we think, or is it people around us who know us better.

Here is an attempt of what I think of myself Loads of people who read will differ because many of you have not met me.. or know me as a person.. But still I am assuming quiet a few would have an inkling of HOW I am.. “Liar, Honest, Pathetic, dependable etc etc , I have been called all these names.. ”

I think of myself as a Normal, common man having same aspirations as millions have, nothing out of blue.. I just want to be a millionaire, have tons of girl friends he he he .. no jokes apart..

Really I never had very high aspirations, I never had a thought of coming abroad, Not even till my final year in college. I was a normal kid, not good in studies but ok in sports.. Always wanted to be in the indian army..

Sat for the IMA exams 4 times cleared Each time, but for some reason SSB interview I was not good enough and for some odd reason I come abroad and am an officer here.. Not going through the SSB interview was one thing that hurt me, cause had not thought of any other thing, always was so sure I will get through the army.. Even joined a coaching place , talked to a few officers , my uncle was a brigadier , he was like There is no way I WILL NOT get through, it was on the BOARD.. anyway it happened and it HURT…

I am very emotional I must say, I have tears coming sometimes when I am alone thinking of stuff just random stuff.. don’t know if that is Pathetic or what…

I have made some wrong decisions and I accept them, but that’s what makes us what we are Today I think. It’s all these silly, stupid things we have all done while growing up that we Now KNOW are silly and stupid. If we had not then We would not know.

Back home in india I use to love going to movies or chilling with mates, We had such a big group, did some naughty things together, brings a smile on my face now.. Have had a pretty decent life so far. I have written about these incidents now and then ….

I miss people a lot, I remember almost everything that has happened so far, I can fairly remember the faces of all the people I know and there Names too.. And Yeah something weird I remember most of the Phone numbers. I also miss my home.

I hate people who are two-faced, to me IF you have said something or you have promised something then its a MAN’s word why should you step back from it AND or BUT In case you have to step back then you should be MAN enough to accept and be sorry , Rather than make excuses, which is the normal trend I feel nowadays, You promise something and when one cant do it then its easy to ignore thinking it will go away, I mean why yeah it will hurt if you own up, But then it makes it easier in life to move forward , to go and do the next thing…

I am of the belief that you should stand by your friends right or wrong, that’s what friends are for, no matter what, I rarely have made enemies but I am positive of one thing that if I cut off with someone than that person has no chance of being back in my good books 🙂 And if you are my enemy then You can bet your _ _ _ _ you will know it. I am not the one who will keep it in my heart , If I don’t like you .. You will be the first person to know about it, A bit rude but then that’s me and I don’t back down.. A lot of times things have been going fine but because of this attitude I have sometimes whirled the pool a bit, A bad point in me I know.

I hate a lot of things in me , and I try had to change that aspect of me.. 

Why am I so emotional

Why am I such an idiot

Why am I like this

Why does it matter to me if the world is collapsing, or the neighbour’s house is being burgled. Why do I have to stop when I see a guy following a girl and trying to pinch her purse or harass her, Who the hell is she or he to me .. WHY do I do that..

Why did I need to interfere when the guy who was drunk fell down on the pavement and Two other guys were going through his pockets and His mates who he had come with, were standing there being a spectator and Laughing over the stupidness of their friend.

These questions are constantly disturbing me, I constantly think of ways to change myself but I fail miserably …

Great. did it as I said its difficult to write about ourselves .. don’t know what else to write anyway this was something about me… Now all who read know a bit more about me 🙂

  1. Nice to know about you Bikram.. I’m flying back to India on September 16th, thought I could meet you, but.. Still, I’d say I’m lucky to meet a person (blogger) like you at least once.. Happy!

    I’m not sure when I’ll be back to London and when you may visit Blore but we will meet sure someday to cherish some sweet memories and clicks which we shared that day 🙂

    Keep writing.. I always read you in my inbox, and occasionally I come here to leave my footprint.. 🙂

    Nice to “know” about you Bikram, thanks for sharing, I like the way you speak your mind, very honest and a great sense of humor. All of us have some faults and when we accept ourselves and try to change for the better, the process to evolve begins and that is important to be a great human 🙂 It is ok to fail, but trying is important 🙂

  13. I find it refreshing to read about you and to get a complete picture of who you are. One thing that really excites me about a blogger is their ‘About me’ page. The more rich their ‘About me’ page is the more I enjoy reading their posts as then I get a sense of there they are coming from.

    Nice one

      • Well, that really defeats the objective of blogging if ones ‘about me’ is not the truth. You see, the about me page is like a C.V where you abilities and ambitions are projected, not stuff that embarrasses you. In my view, as I have said earlier, reading an about me page on a blog just gives me that extra insight into the bloggers life. Where their fake it or not, that a matter for themselves and no one is here to prove if anyone is telling the the truth or not, time is limited.

    I think every Indian (including me) has one time or the other wanted to join the Indian Army. In my case it was the Navy. To add to it I was pushed and cajoled by my NCC unit to “join….. please join, …….. why don’t you join” mainly because I was a B & C certificate holder from NCC . Candidates like that is very rare for them. It took me a long time convincing them that the NDA needed only students with A group (Maths) and not B group (Zoology/Botany) in Inter Sc.

    • YEah , I also did my B & C certificate in Air wing in ncc, It was good I did a lot of power flying and gliding with that too.. But sadly it was not to be, I was always going ot go into the army, as every generation in our family has had someone in it, But I could not do it .. good or for bad I have no reason .. But I am a bit angry and heartbroken because even in army now its money and Sifarish and Sadly I had none of them .. I have a few examples but its fine.. I accept it I am much better off I think here in UK, I would have probably turned out to be a corrupt person in power or whatever had i stayed back home ..

    A very good posting my great friend, you know, I do not have anything written about me anywhere on my Space, nor anywhere else in the blogosphere and instead I prefer to let peeps see my character in whatever I write about, well not on my own Space as in scripts unless replying to comments of course 🙂 lol

    Yes nothing to do with the ‘About Page’ but I am always honest in whatever I write here, there or wherever I happen to be and a lot of peeps have asked to be friends on WP just on the strength of reading what I have had to say on other peeps Spaces.

    I see you as a decent, upstanding individual with an excellent grasp of what is good or bad around this WP of ours, and beyond. Your character is of a kind and heartfelt nature with a great sense of humour and good values and principles. In short you are a nice guy Bikram but be careful as the nice guys don’t always get the nymphs of their dreams 🙂 lmao Okay kidding but it made you think 🙂

    The best way is never to second guess yourself no matter what the situation in life might be, go with your instincts, and always treat everyone as you yourself would wish to be treated 🙂 As Forest Gump would say… ‘Life is just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get’, but hey when we are good of heart and mind then the way forwards is always a very positive one Bikram…
