I have a fear that this tagging business will soon become the blogging equivalent of an email forward. In future, you might be tagged and if you don’t pass on the tag to 10 more people, your index finger will go numb on the seventh day :) Anyways, since we are still at an early stage in this business, I have decided to respect Athena’s tag(She’s the only one who bothers to tag me!). So Tag 4, here we go!
4 Places I Have Lived
Chennai – The place where I was born and brought up. School, College, Beach, Satyam Cinemas, Cricket and Friends – Too many wonderful memories for any other place to even come close. Will most probably be the place I settle down as well.
Mumbai – A city abuzz with life 24*7. A city that gave me a perspective of people and the world outside. A city I will never willingly settle down in but nevertheless, one of my favorites.
Indore – A wonderful two years in the hilltop. I have written entire posts on it so no further rambling on the same.
Coimbatore – My home for over a year now, this sleepy town is an absolute rocker. A brilliant weather means I hardly get out of bed before 9 on most days :) Surrounded by Hills on one side and the lush greens of Pollachi on the other, the travels have been such a delight. If it wasn’t for the completely barren social life, this place would have ranked higher.
4 Favorite TV Shows
Neeya Naana? – While everyone is busy making people either cry, sing or dance, this one stands out from the pack. Modeled on group debate format, the anchor takes you brilliantly through two sides of important social and personal issues every week. Currently the best show on TV if you know Tamil.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S – Had heard so much about it before I actually saw it but this was one show that lived up to its billing.
24 – First season was terrific. Has gotten slower and predictable in the next two. Hopefully will pick up in four which Iam yet to start.
Seinfeld/ How I met your Mother – Well, it was a tough call; so I chose both. Seinfeld continues to amaze me with its simplicity while Barney, Ted and Robin make HIMYM irresistible.
4 Vacation Spots
Shimla and Manali – Awesome!
Kerala – Only been there once but it’s simply beautiful. Should explore more sometime!
Pondicherry – Ideal for a one-day round trip.
Paris – The one place I dream of going someday!
4 Favorite Foods
Ghee Roast, Pongal, home cooked (Sambar Rice +Alu Podi Curry) and Rasagulla
4 Daily Websites
Gmail, Cricinfo, Google Reader and Facebook
4 Places I’d Rather Be
Question Pass
4 Things to Do Before I Die
Watch India win 50 over WC (if possible at the stadium)
Learn to ride a bike :)
To be a job creator for at least 100 people
Be a cricket commentator (atleast briefly)
4 Books I Wish I Was Reading For The First Time
Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less
Kane and Abel
Vyasar Virundu (Vysar’s Version of Mahabharata)
The “Blandings” series
4 Movies I Can Watch Again & Again
Mouna Raagam, Anbe Sivam, Minnale and Indian

Agree with you 100% on the future of this tagging fad. You're lucky you haven't been tagged for some of the really ridiculous ones :D
You might as well count out item 2 on your bucket list. Never gonna happen! :P
BTW good luck getting Wayne to respond :D :D
I thought you knew how to ride a bike...
Barren social life .. hmm.. make an effort macha .. PSG is not far from your home :)

It is after ages that I came to your blogsite... Sorry macha...
I dont think I still have concrete answers to these questions... Hence, despite having been asked to tag by many close friends... I am yet to do it.
Finally India has won the World cup....I guess you had been at stadium...Congrats for completion of this wish
@Neer - Thanks. I wasn't at the stadium but it was good enough. Greatest moment of my life.
