Tagged!

Well, I have been tagged by Arunima for almost a week now, and I haven't still obliged. I was a bit hesistant, because it becomes a very boring job for both the readers and the writer. But let me do it for once and all. Please bear with me.

Total Number Of Films I Own On Dvd/Video
Zero DVDs, because I don't own a DVD player. Planning to buy a player pretty soon. VCDs too not much. May be around ten or so, because I generally watch the movies in theatre, and that too, only select ones. More than films, I own song VCDs. Also, I don't have such a gracious friends who can gift me these.

The Last Film I Bought
I think it was Baby's Day Out. Isn't it worth a movie to have it on one's portfolio?

The Last Film I Watched
In the theatre - Bunty aur Bubbly, in the player - Maqbool(courtesy benovelent Ashtrix), in the TV - the complete movie I saw on television is Don.

Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me
I am not sure what does "meaning a lot to me" means in film context. I will list my favourites, which too is damn difficult job because five is too small a number for this. Sholay, Jaaney Bhi Do Yaron, DON, Golmal, Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander.

Three Names I Go By
Manish(official), Pinku(my folks & relatives call me that), Chauhan(my friends call me that).

Three Screen Names I Have Had
I have used my original name in the blogger ie 'Manish'. Ages back, I use to chat at the alamac website with pseudonym 'Mandrake', and some people at that site also use to call me 'Mandy'.

Three Physical Things I Like About Myself
Now, even three seems to be so big a number. Hmmm may be Eyes(standard answer, no?), and may be Lips. I couldn't find a third one.

Three Physical Things I Don't Like About Myself
That's easy. My hair's - quite a few of them have changed their colour. My height - I am neither tall, nor short. I wish I was slightly taller because Madhuri Dixit wanted a tall guy. My fingers because they jot down one of the most atrocious handwriting ever possible.

Three Parts Of My Heritage
Hindustani(I have even watched Indian national team playing Carrom against Sri Lanka, I am that crack!). Lucknawi juban - a clear give away. You can spot that in me withtin moments; can't take Lucknow out of a person. Third one, hmmm...may be I have inherited a bit of my mother's terrefic memory.

Three Things Which Scare Me
Ghosts( I mean, talk of ghosts), Dead bodies, Reptiles( pretty standard).

Three Of My Everyday Essentials
Newspaper( is a must), One Cup Tea( I take ages to gulp), & Hanuman Chalisa(listening to).

Three Things You Want To Do Really Badly Right Now
Sell off my some goddamn stocks of 3i Infotech I have invested in; Get down to work; Publish this longish post.

Three Careers You Are Considering
I always wanted to be a lawyer. BR Chopra was responsible for this. Then I also wanted to be a microbiologist or a scientist doing research in Human Genome project. Robin Cook's novels are responsible for this. I also wanted to be a cricketer.

Now I don't want to be a lawyer because it's too hot in that God forsaken rob, or a scientist because I can't study all my life, and can't be cricketer because there is a slight problem with my hand-eye coordination.
