Thanks to Heavy Cloud for nominating me for this. Only my second award, so it feels nice. 🙂
Seven facts about myself…
1. I am an atheist, but not militantly so. I celebrate any festival, for example, if it means I get treats to eat! 😀
2. I love flowers and trees, but not animals for some reason, not to the same extent.
3. I have an almost eidetic memory for songs, poems and so on.
4. I can’t remember faces and names till I have met the person two or three times. This goes up to including girlfriends (that actually happened)
5. I cut myself till I draw blood every night
6. I am a voracious reader of non-fiction and selected fiction
7. A good poem can actually move me to tears.
Fifteen people to nominate! That’s a tough one!
Fictionatrix , Kicking Stroke’s Ass , Hallucinations , Nicole , Tony , Mathemagical , Mithai , Natalia , Hunter , Vitto Dolore , Saya , Tessa , Bipolar , Jamie , Platypus
Phew!
About hbhatnagar
I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.

Lol, I don’t think that I’m a versatile blogger, but thanks for the nomination btw. It would take some days for me to respond to this though since I still haven’t responded to a previous nomination yet 🙂
