Introspection

“Tell me about yourself”, is the toughest question everyone will face in their interview. I am not sure about everyone but at least in my case it is the toughest question I have ever faced. In fact this is the question I answered perfectly, thanks to the websites on how to face an interview. I prepared a long list of qualities beforehand which I mugged up just to read out the list when this question is posed at me with a perfect smile and eye contact.

Today when I sat to complete my profile on my blog, once again I had the same question, ABOUT YOU. Before the long list popped up in my mind, I thought of making a sincere attempt to know myself, and this is what I got.

I am a person who wants to live my life, not to lead my life. Very small things like an evening walk, lovely music and weekend get together with the closest ones makes me happy. Talking to my parents is the thing I like most.

I am fond of relationships. I like it when all my relatives get together. I want people to listen to me when I go on talking. You are mistaken if u think I am a chatter box. Hardly any word comes out my mouth. But I like to speak a lot when my closest ones listen even tough what I say doesn’t make any sense. Broken relations always hurts me.

Though I am very fond of relations, I am very choosy with the friends. I don’t connect with people quickly. It always takes time for me to make friends. But all my friends are the closest ones to my heart.

I love music. In fact it’s some particular songs that I am very fond of, not music as a whole. If someone tries to talk about music, that’s complete Greek and Latin to me. So it’s better to say I like some songs rather than saying music on the whole.

I am a person of variety of thoughts and one who tries to be different all the time. I like taking challenges and routine work bores me. Confidence levels are always a drawback to me, as I always had very poor confidence levels. I am the laziest I have ever known but when I like some thing from heart nothing can stop me from doing it, not even my laziness.

I have the habit of trying to know everything from the grass root level. This is my strength and also my weakness as I don’t discriminate between where an in depth study is needed and where it isn’t needed.

Cricket has always been my favourite game. I don’t like watching cricket as much as I like playing it. Badminton is the other game I like the most. I like flexing my muscles by playing rather than storing fat for a future stroke.

I have the fantasy to see a world that is free of hatred, jealousy and all other evils, which isn’t possible and to feel and fly like a bird looking at the world below in a different view, which I cant do. Don’t ask me if I haven’t boarded a flight ever, I meant to say that I wanted to fly exactly like a bird.

If I keep on writing I think I can write a book, after all ones life is his own autobiography. But I limit it to this post for now. I think I should have taken some time to know myself a bit earlier.

TAKE TIME TO KNOW YOURSELF.
