Who is Ish?

Ish still doesn’t really know who he is. He’s 18 years old and lives somewhere in the northern part of India. He doesn’t know what he wants to be in life but his parents want him to be an engineer. He’s spectacularly bad at his studies and it seems as if he’s decided on ruining his life. But the worst is yet to come, he’s a virgin!

He has been blogging for almost 2 years now. People have been telling him that he needs to get a life but he refuses to listen. He is addicted to the World Wide Web and can spend hours staring at the computer screen. The first thing he does when he gets up in the morning is to switch on the computer and check his mails. He doesn’t care about his looks or personal hygiene. He doesn’t have a girlfriend because he doesn’t have the balls to go and talk to a girl. Most of his friends happen to be the people who comment on his blog and on whose (thanks Sulz) blog he comments. He loves all the people in his blogroll (especially teh chicks! Only kidding guys, you’re great too!). He’s a sucker for light colored eyes. He can’t live without his computer, it’s as if it is a power cord which supplies the electricity required for his survival. He knows a little bit of computer languages such as HTML and CSS. Apart from that, he can do stuff with Visual Basic. Oh, and he’s broke.

He lurves listening to music. He loves songs which have good lyrics. Having said that, he can like songs just for the instrument part too. He likes Coldplay because of Chris Martin’s voice and the over all sound. He likes GREENDAY for Billie Joe Armstrong’s energy and ability to sing different kind of songs. He also likes Bryan Adams, Robbie Williams, Kelly Clarkson, Enrique Iglesias, The Rasmus, The Feeling, Daniel Powter, Rihanna and many more. He also listens to a lot of Hindi music. He wants to form his own band someday.

Apart from music, he likes to watch movies. He watches both English and Hindi movies with equal joy. Though he mostly likes comedy, he can also watch serious movies. He thinks Elisha Cuthbert is rather hot. He also likes Shah Rukh Khan. Unlike most Indian guys, he’s not obsessed about Emma Watson, Hilary Duff or Avril Lavigne. He likes reading books. The Harry Potter series, Five Point Someone, The Kite Runner are his favorites. He is also fond of tennis and thinks Maria Sharapova can play well and look well too. He also likes Roger Federer. He hates Rafael Nadal. Once upon a time, he also used to watch soccer and was a fan of Manchester United. He also watches cricket. He likes to sing, wants to learn dance and enjoys burgers at KFC and pizza’s at Dominos. He can’t live without Coke/Pepsi. Crackle is his favorite chocolate and Ferrero Rocher comes a close second. He can survive on Butter Chicken for years. He wants to visit all the places where his friends are and meet them. He is paranoid about his English and hates people who talk in ‘text message’ language.

Calvin and Hobbes are his God’s. He thinks these are the guys who invented logic. So, now you know what you can gift him when you meet him - The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

That is just about everything he’s learned about himself since that day in December 1989 when he was born.

    Hey ish, i was wondering if you could add me to your blog roll.
    I have just added you to mine. Hope to see you posting more great articles.

    I have to say I quite like your ‘About’ page. I do prefer blogs where I can see that the blogger made an effort with their about page.

    What made you take Physics, Chemistry and Maths. I think they were my most hated subjects when I was still at school… :)

  6. Posted December 10, 2006 at 11:44 am | Permalink

    Haha I hate them too but that’s what you need to take to become an engineer and have like loads of money with which you can buy the latest consoles :D

  7. Posted December 10, 2006 at 11:52 am | Permalink

    Yeah, I know what you mean, but still. I don’t think I’d want to do them again. :P

    So you play games as well then? What do you play?

  8. Posted December 10, 2006 at 11:55 am | Permalink

    If I very well manage to get some time out,I play GTA San Andreas and erm most of the soccer and tennis games around.I’m not really into stratergy games.Clearly speaking,I suck at them.

  9. Posted December 10, 2006 at 12:31 pm | Permalink

    GTA is great, although I prefer Vice City.

    I like games with a story, but Tennis Games are good as well. :)

  10. Posted December 11, 2006 at 5:14 am | Permalink

    I love Vice City too!.That’s what I play on the laptop.San Andreas is on the Playstation.

    Tommy Vercetti rocks yo.

  11. Posted December 11, 2006 at 3:40 pm | Permalink

    Tommy Vercetti is cool, definitely one of my favourite video game characters. :D

    I’ve been ‘tagged’ with this new blogging craze, called the ABC game. You can read about it on my blog. Fancy doing it? It’s similar to your ‘About’ Page.

    Hi Vaishno!

    Thanks for that amazing comment. And yea, I’ve figured shouting about something you don’t like helps a lot. It’s been a long time since I’ve been doing that. And I’m glad I’ve inspired you to write more. What more can I ask for?

  47. Posted November 1, 2007 at 10:32 pm | Permalink

    your blog made very interesting reading. to see a 17-18 year old write like this is amazing. it’s not surprising that you have many avid readers.

    keep it up.

    @Nachiketa: I’m glad you found my blog interesting. Thanks for visiting and keep dropping by. I had a look at your blog as well and will reply when I have the time.

    @Nishu: Is it too small? Nobody’s told me that yet. What browser are you using?

  51. Posted November 21, 2007 at 1:42 pm | Permalink

    ish,

    I am using iceweasel (firefox)
    all other websites seems to be fine but the text in your blog is small ..
    its not difficult to read but somehow small font implies less important text.

  52. Posted November 21, 2007 at 5:12 pm | Permalink

    @Nishu: Hmm, that’s really weird because this particular theme has one of the largest font sizes in WordPress. It shouldn’t be small. Could you do me a favour and take a screenshot?

  63. Posted January 13, 2008 at 6:35 am | Permalink

    wow, i really like your ‘about’ page. i mean, i’ve read it before but for some reason today i find it extra special. i didn’t know you like the kite runner! (so much for having read it before.) and why don’t you like man u anymore? and why are you paranoid about your english?

    and i can say i don’t think you look ugly, as the others might have probably told you already. now if you used the word ’swami-like’ then i may have to agree… :P

  64. Posted January 13, 2008 at 6:44 am | Permalink

    @Sulz: You probably like it more because I edited it recently lol? Didn’t know that did you. I don’t think I had mentioned Kite Runner in my last about me.

    It’s not like I don’t like Manchester United anymore. It’s just that I don’t get to watch soccer much these days and hence I don’t care what happens in the English Premier League which I used to religiously follow at one point in life

    Ah, I had to go back and read where I’d written paranoid. That’s not quite the word I should have used. I wanted to say I’m very particular about written English and don’t like the so called text message language.

    Swami like? Haha. That’s not my fault btw, religion demands it and I can’t go against it, well not right now at least but I know it’s gonna happen soon, real soon.

  65. Posted January 13, 2008 at 7:10 am | Permalink

    oh, haha… i don’t trust my memory, see. yeah, just like you i was pretty religious about following football. these days i just get the news off bbc’s football page.

    then i hope you don’t mind if i point out that this sentence: Most of his friends happen to be the people who comment on his blog and on who’s blog he comments. who’s is actually whose. :)

    great, you can show it to us like how i’m going to show my tattoo. and do something crazy, okay? dye your hair blue or something. you’re a good boi, but the world doesn’t have to know that!

  66. Posted January 13, 2008 at 7:13 am | Permalink

    Ah, I knew there was something wrong in that sentence. It just wasn’t making sense. Thanks for the correction, will do it just now.

    I’ve been wanting to die my hair purple btw, Billie Joe style. But that’d have to wait, at least a year or 6 months at the minimum. After I get my hair cut (if I do), it’s gonna take some time to look normal cause they are being tied in a certain position since childhood and hence they’ll be in a weird position. We’ll see.

  67. Posted January 13, 2008 at 8:36 am | Permalink

    You’re paranoid about your English, too? And I thought I was the only one. :)

  68. Posted January 13, 2008 at 4:34 pm | Permalink

    @Cat: Nar, I’m paranoid about it too. And there’s no single thing in this planet that only you can be at. There’ll always be someone doing the same thing.

    @POBox, not only “Who is Ish?”, but also Ish himself is hilarious. :D You can read each and every post of this guy for hours and hours!

    Did you do it right? :| What do you mean? Were you proposing?

    @Ish

    I sent him here to get him to propose to you. Happy? :P

  83. Posted April 26, 2008 at 4:57 am | Permalink

    @Ruhi: You sent him here to propose to me? Well, if it were a her, I would’ve been ecstatic. But I’m reasonably happy that he appreciated me.

    @POBox: If that was a proposal, you seriously need to do better man. :P Even I wouldn’t have fallen for that. And I’m a guy.

    Ish - The last time I proposed, the proposal was accepted. And all I can say is sometimes you really have to be careful what you wish for.

    Ruhi - You may want to send some chicks this way so Ish can be “ecstatic”. :P
