Myself
I see this field 'about me' in orkut. Many times I have thought that filling up this space is a waste of time because all I can think about me are the bad attributes that one can associate with any human being. Well, there are a few good ones too as you will soon learn. So instead of shamelessly posting my attributes in a public forum like orkut where any and every person - from those who know me well to those who have not seen me at all - will get to know what I am made of, I adopted a wiser option of not trying to talk too much about me. Afterall, 24 years have gone by and I am still trying to figure out, rather unsuccessfully, as to what I am and who I am.
A frequent interview question when I used to apply for positions in India is "What are your strengths and weaknesses?". There are people who would prepare answers beforehand by trying to diplomatically combine their strength/weakness with the job requirement. I did that as well but I was never satisfied with that answer because the answer did not describe me. May be whatever answers I gave was the technical "about me". I always wish to have a little time for myself everyday, to not think about anything else but me. It still remains a wish as I do not religiously follow the routine. But if I do follow, I should be able to get to know about myself better. For now, let me give out some of my weaknesses followed by my strengths (I know, I know, blogger is a public forum as well but I dont care. There will be less people visiting my blog.)
Weaknesses : Egoism (much more than what you would expect from a dumb fellow)
Arrogance
Attitude
Superior inferiority complex (as the first weakness rider would indicate)
Inferior superiority complex
Short temper
Brutal frankness (as this blog will indicate)
Hyper analysis of self (ditto)
Emotional
Moody
Unforgiving
Strengths : Pride
Arrogance
Brutal frankness
Hyper analysis of self
Sympathy
Empathy
Loyalty to those who I like (it is a different issue that it is not reciprocated which makes me look like a bloody martyr!)
Perseverence
Relentlessness
As you can clearly see, my weaknesses outnumber my strengths. Ideally, anyone would like to have (my weakness)^-1 as his/her personality. Now that I have listed these (and the list will keep growing as and when I come across an apt adjective that describes me), my work is cut out in orkut.
Adios.
