I have been tagged by SAWJ to write 25 random thing about me. I never really intended to oblige, but for some reason I feel like doing it now. So here is my attempt at discovering myself..
- I’m very unpredictable. Sometimes, I surprise myself with this unpredictability.
- I used to be an extremely angry person few years ago. I’ve learnt to manage that and now I come across as someone who rarely loses his temper.
- Since many people have mentioned this one, I’d say so too…I used to weigh about 90kgs, 6 years ago. Now I’m consistent well under 70 and for the first time in life I am even thinking about putting on some weight.
- I like women who wear glasses. I find them very attractive.
- I always suspect people are following me. I get very cautious when someone gets close while walking (close here may mean not-so-close for other people) and I use the mirrors a lot as well for the same reason while driving.
- I used to maintain a diary until 2006 in which I wrote a list of laws that I’d introduce if I ever get a chance to rule Pakistan. At that point I realised its unlikely that I’ll ever get that opportunity. The diary has over 100 rules and laws and it was titled ‘Secret writings of a hopeful PM’ and I might share it at some point later.
- I can lie with an intensely serious face. I’m a good liar. I avoid it because of the guilt that creeps in later.
- I like winters. No, I love them!
- I’m NOT a very social person, unlike my family. In fact, I’d be the least social among all.
- I trust myself to a great extent.
- I’m a good judge of people.
- I don’t argue on subjects which I have no knowledge about and expect the people to do so. It really ticks me off if someone (naive) is arguing with me about something which I’m working on or which is my field.
- I was a very shy person as long as I was in Saudi Arabia. The transformation started when I moved to Abu Dhabi, but the shyness isn’t gone yet.
- The fear of losing motivates me most towards success.
- I’m very punctual (not if I know the other person is going to be late as usual).
- I am quite emotional, but I never show it. NEVER!
- I respect privacy and expect others to do so. A mobile phone and a laptop is something personal and off-limit for others, at all times.
- Those who read this blog already know this but since I’m running out of more I’ll say it again. I plan a lot and am good at time management.
- I am acrophobic.
- I don’t like ringing mobiles. My phone remains on vibrator unless absolutely necessary to give it some sound.
- Whenever going to a restaurant or sitting in a lab or any other place where I can pick my seat, I always take the one with the widest view possible including the entrance. This is not because I want to keep an eye on all the chicks out there but probably because of the suspicions (read point 5). Okay, maybe chicks too!
- I don’t like sci-fi any more. I usually end up finding flaws in the concept.
- I am kids’ magnet. I have not come across a baby/kid who is not attracted towards me. Maybe I look funny.
- I dream of having a house with a library of my own inside and a bathroom made of glass in a space larger than my bedroom. Will never happen, I know.
- I cannot share bedroom. If I have to do it under extreme circumstances, there is a large safe distance that has to be maintained at all times of sleep. This thing is worrying when I think about it (for the near future).
I can’t believe I’ve done this *thumping my fists in jubilation* … I think I can write more 
I won’t tag anyone. Its not ethical 
If you feel like doing a post like this and haven’t been tagged then go ahead, and tag yourself.

Yuck! This theme is good but the style sheet sucks. YUCK YUCK!
Er, the *whole* theme is defined in the stylesheet. What you wanted to say is that the typography of this theme sucks.
yeah i was wrong there…but i think apart from the homepge i hate everything abt this theme..not only typography
Lol at #22! Nerd:p
Unpredictability is good stuff! Yeah, I’ve done things and I’ve surprised myself doing them! I liked this list. Short and funny!
4, 12 , 23 for me.
point 4….i doubt that :p Uni mein to yeh chez bilkul nahi nazar aai
there are exceptions
Women. With. Glasses… I feel a “I heart” moment coming up
About 23 – dude, be assured. That IS the reason kids are attracted to you
I’ve got the funny nose, and you’ve got.. well, you just look funny overall 
I think this ‘I love girls with glasses’ must be a engineer thing.
have to look in to it
Oh! And gamer girls! Ooooh! Another “I heart” moment!
2- I am turning into a very angry person now. was never like that before. Now, I have realized that.. I have very little patience for a lot of things.
Magar, then again it depends on the frames they use and how they suit their faces xD
4- I like men who wear glasses
8- Haha, all the bloggers who wrote this tag, .., well almost all of them love winters
10- I dont trust myself at all. even though, most of the times in most of the situations, I do turn out to be right.
14. Even that fear doesn’t scare me anymore.
18. I need lessons on time management! I am SO bad at it. :/
25. Question….. shaadi kay baad kya hoga? HAHAHA.
I did say it is worrying,,for this very reason. Sad I can’t practice before
and omg.
rand (your title) reminded me of the “rand” function in C.
Random and lame at the same time, I know. :\
indeed, not only C but many other languages too…n the usage was exactly to remind u and others of the function
Then you should know that rand() will return a *single* number (or in this case, a single random fact), and not 25 numbers/facts. Also, rand() does not take any parameters.
(I was about to mention it when I first read this post, but then let it go. But now that C is explicitly mentioned, I couldn’t resist.
)
aray yar..matlab wala rand() le lo .. woh to arguments leta hai
I love winter too!
And man, you should give out some tips on punctuality & time managment. :S
Anas, your blog refuses to show my Display pic! :@
Wait… it just did!
lol
Why does it show here and not on the previous comment? Hmmm
Entertaining. LOTS of similarities there btw…HMM. Especially the thing about keeping distant to people. Last one too! wo0~
