Just saying.

Let's get to the point. It isn't anything derived of hours of pondering, but whimsical decision to give answers on the fly.
I've been tagged and awarded by Ruhani, who'd soon be going to an Architecture school and discovering how she is not going to sleep for the better half of her next 5 years, while drawing straight lines and making coherent designs of the future on paper with an array of assorted pencils. But don't you worry, the social life gets a total overhaul. The award goes as Liebster (German: Favourite) Blog and there are a few queries. Now because my answers are good for nothing, I've decided to give them a shot.

But firstly, I cannot remember Eleven things about me. 11 makes me tickle, and I can either be happy and forgetful, or glum and remembering. As for the award, I've kept it safe in the Hall of Fame, where other trophies too are on display. I terminate tags, its too much work, hence no forwards.
So let's answer them without much ado.

1. The CRAZIEST thing that you've ever done? 

: I don't remember, Nothing perhaps?

2. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? 

: Seeing other people smile. I'm prone to contagion.

3. If the average human lifespan was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

: Does not matter I guess.

4. If you could break one law, which one would that be?

: Umm, Jude Law? Nay! 

5. What do you do, that you think, makes you different from everyone else?

: That I am writing this in sleepy stupor and full conscience? 

: Nothing

6. Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really think it makes the elevator move faster? :P

: I push it again only when I think the elevator is not responding like a computer.

7. If you were standing on stage, unaware that hundreds of people were watching you, what would you have done?

: Take a chair and sit down quiet. Do Nothing.

8. Who do you think is the sexiest person alive?

: It's hard to be fair in judgement when the head is fuzzy. I'll pass.

9. Who would you rather date. A worried genius or a joyous simpleton?

: A Joyously Worried Genius Simpleton.

10. If you were stranded on an island, which three things would you like to have in your bag?

: I'll be content if you can provide with a Lamp with a genie that grants three wishes. See, I am considerate? Psst... My first wish would be a thousand more wishes. And the thousandth wish would still be the same :P

11. What is your first impression of me/this blog?

: I'll not tell, you've got big muscles :D

Okay, so now are the real questions because of which I took this tag. I intend to bore.

1.  What happens when you get "half scared to death" twice?

: You're still left with 25% life. First time it's halved, next time it's half of half. 

If you half scare people to death 'n' number of times, then also this 'n' has to be exponentially large to totally kill the person. Life doesn't end that easily.

2. Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

: I know of no cannibals but only cannabis. And people who do cannabis do sound funny afterwards most of the time.

3. If all the world's a stage, then where does the audience sit? 

: Since all audience are also actors, they are sitting in the sitting area on the stage to do the act of being audience.

4. Why are all the alphabets in the order in which they are? is it because it's a song?

: Yes. :P

5. If you write a book about failure and it doesn't sell, will it be called a success?

: In that case, the name of the book HAS TO BE 'Success' to be called a 'Success', though it is about failure.

"Hey, I've written a book called success, and it is about failure."

6. If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

: I am a genius, ask a moron.

7. What if Batman gets bitten by a vampire?

: He'd become a Bat-Vamp I guess :P

Okay, Bye.

Santa Is coming to town.

Okay Santa, here’s the deal. You get me a packet full of chocolates and I promise to share a few with you. Just between you and me, we won’t tell the elves about this.

I’ll gift you a turban, and then you can be Santa Singh along with Santa Claus. Then together we’ll do that ‘Ho Ho Ho’ okay? That reminds me how your belly heaves as you laugh. Let’s try belly dancing, you might put Shakira to shame.

What do I want? Well, it’s been a long time since I saw snowfall happening in my area owing to what they call global warming. We could arrange for some snowflakes falling around this time on Christmas. I know you have plenty at the North Pole, why not get some. I assure you, no one would say it behind your back that Santa wetted his ride.

Umm yeah, I have all things in place, and I know that you’ll be getting all big and good gifts for me, just one request, keep the gifts near the fireplace. Why always follow modus operandi? Don’t take the pain of packing them all in that little lone sock. And still if you insist on doing that as a part of ritual, mail me beforehand so I can arrange for many socks, as many as you like. Now come on, I can do that for you, after all you’d be driving that sleigh all the way from North Pole and I don’t want you to leave disappointed that there wasn’t much space left.

I haven’t been a very bad boy this year, I can tell that because I cannot remember being bad. Punishments? The teachers can be such sadists, you know all that, I didn’t do anything, they framed me. And I know my name is numbered 9,18,31,801 in the good list and is written in original hand. Say, I sneaked into the database. But that doesn’t count as mischief? Its curiosity!

And I am almost a complete engineer now, and I think it’s cool. Do you hire BTW and would you really pay? I can be a snowman you know, engineers can do any sort of job, and we’re trained in versatility, that’s how we survive even on the North Pole.

Bring with yourself, Aurora Borealis to the tropics, just for one night. I’d love to see my neighborhood sky covering up in colorful blankets of lights and sounds. Don’t worry about satellites, they might probably be busy looking at far more important areas like the capital, or the Capitol. How’s this? Snowfall in daytime, by the evening the earth has a blanket of snow. Then in the night, first the light show and then, a blissful sky, no moons please.

Keep yourself warm and cozy while you travel, listening old man? I understand why you enter through the chimney, so that you can warm your butts on the fizzling spent coal, but trust me, either work out pretty hard and get trim or get in through the door, there’s absolutely no way you can reach inside from my chimney. It’s not of brick, but of steel, that too tapers as it goes up. And it’s lined black with coal on the inside. I’ll keep the doors open.

And if you need an extra hand, this Christmas, consider me in. On any other day, you’ll need to pay me a decent salary. Plus, I need transportation, on that classy reindeer ride of yours. What have you named it anyway?

On a serious note, Santa, or Nicholas to be more precisely addressing to the Santa Claus, I don’t think I’d need anything as a gift. I’ll need to earn it. All what I have asked, might not be within human reach, but then are you a human? (You were, but what now?) And who hates fiction? Not me. I just want one thing right now as I can think of. YOU, keep rocking, and let there be no dearth of beautiful people in this amazing world. It’s amazing, isn’t it, sometimes white, sometimes green, sometimes wilting brown and orange, sometimes vivid with blooming blossoms and misty sometimes. So are the people here, You and me, moody as many might deny to be, but all are, in bits and pieces, and wonderful as a whole. I wish you best of luck, and I will fly this wish list to you on a private plane(No, not the one in the picture below, the design’s classified). God Speed to it, and God speed, to you. As for me, I would love to see smiles, on known and unknown faces. And guess what, I want this jet to have crash landing right into your porch, that’s why I did not put in any wheels.

Thank You R, for this, hope I wasn’t very bad at it.

Amen.

Yours truly*(Conditions Apply)

Blasphemous Aesthete.

P.S. Investing in engineers is highly susceptible to laziness fits and bouts of uncreative productions Read the offer document carefully before investing, and frame the offer document carefully if you have a chance.

P.P.S In case you want to make your own plane for a personal request, head over here (link). No, I ain’t revealing my design. Just a clue, it looks like The Seaduck from TailSpin.

40. (My question?) Knowing the meaning of your name, would you want to change it?

No. Once I wished, not because I did not like it, but everyone around had started giving the same name to every second newborn. Now I know, they’ll never be there where I am going to be, and if they somehow reach there, they’ll have big shoes to fit in.

Rules for those who are tagged:
Respond and rework – answer these questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own, and add one more question to the list. Then tag eight or ten other new set of people.

I won’t tag anybody, all of you are dear to me, no one should feel prejudiced. So everybody, do the tag if you read it till here (am joking, but seriously, I mean it. I am joking). And, ahem, there were three awards with the tag, I am keeping them for myself. Soon, they'll be in my hall of fame.

*I did not remove any question from it, and added one more. Why?

1.            Because 40 looks better than 39 or 38.

2.            Because I am too lazy to go through all of it and choose which question I did not like.

P.S. If given such choice to alter any line in the real question paper, I’d change the first line.

‘Attempt all the question’ to ‘Answer if you feel like, we appreciate your efforts for coming here. That enthusiasm is enough to pass you.’
