I have varied interests and motivations in life and like to keep learning new stuff now and then... That's one way to fuel my soul, i guess... My tastes in movies are very varied, since i like to put myself in different perspectives... but what moves me most is poetic storytelling, moved by subtle emotions and the background score... This is one reason i love movies that have a terrific background score- Not necessarily dramatic... I dream of writing my original screenplay one day, with the above musical effects at their peak... An optimist by choice, i also believe that Mr.'Meticulous planning' can be a strong competitor to Dr.Faith, for moving mountains... Quite paradoxical and mixture-of-opposites at first sight... but what i;m looking for is a deeper insight into everything in life... it's almost like 'superficiality is a bane'! Hence, i'm quite experimental and have few taboos... (After all, Professor <i> Experience </i> is quite reputed in the academic circle, right?) Apart from my interests mentioned, i used to and still do some of, things like analysing different types of personalities, collecting items (collectibles), Doing Wacky stuff!, etc... but nowadays the big question lingering in my mind with respect to all such activities & interests, is, 'WHY?'... <b> My Quote: </b> There's no better way to gain it all than to sublime(lose) the fear of losing it all! I generally do things best in bursts of inspiration, which is why i'd keep filling in more about myself in this space later... (if i haven't overloaded u with so much ishtuff about myself!. Narcisstic? Well, you could call me so only if i M2M all this to you! Chill...!) so keep coming! :-) ... life moves on... Playing Chess, guitar(since 2002) and (trying to?) compose/analyse music... Books: Have been a fan of many classic series' like the Hardy Boys and Hercule Poirot mysteries... But now mostly interested in metaphysical and mystic stuff. Music: like all genres of music but the song has to have some spice in it, like some special creative effort... (eg. ACDC's 'Razor's Edge', Metallica's 'Nothing else matters' and 'One', Natalie Imbroglio's 'Torn' and many Eminem numbers). I can tune in to an ACDC and GNR kind as well as the Natalie Imbruglia & Mariah Carey types... Travelling is a great passion...love outdoor locations in the wild... Then again, there's a phase in life for everything, so i'm always open to new passions!
