making lists...

i like to think i am a happy and gay person... (no pun whatsoever)... but people frequently disagree with me which tends to take away the happiness and gayness a little... we were watching some hindi movie and all i made was an innocuous remark,

"i hate that guy with the dimpled chin"
"oh, and why??", vin says snidely...
" he has a dimpled chin... what's there not to hate??"
"ah, John Travolta has a dimpled chin... you dont hate him, do you??"
"well, of course not... he can have a dimple anywhere... he's Travolta" my argument doesnt seem to convince him and he mutters
" you know you hate so many things, tell me when you dont hate something..."

i entirely disagree...
"i dont hate that many things really..."
"well, there's only one way to find out... why dont you make a list...?"

hmm, sounds like a task... so i start...
now, when i say 'hate' it's only a loose connotation... all it means is that i don't like it too much... or it just doesnt strike the right chord... ok, here goes...

1. cold water - which is why i didnt go into the water in Goa; i still prefer to skip a bath than stand under a cold shower; hate getting wet in the rain...

2. listening to others dreams - have you had your friends start off a 'you wont believe what i dreamed last night!" - it is as though they are immune to the blank, scared look i give before they start off... if i'm not there in the dream, i'd rather skip it...!

3. cars/bikes - now, i dont know if it's in the Y-chromosome but the guys universally seem smitten by engines and anything with engines... to hear them gush on and on about the double silencers and the 'road-presence' of an Audi Q7 which left them behind in a 'whooooosh' a full half hour ago is painful...

i think i ran out of things already... maybe i can add them as i come by them...
