This post is the result of a comment someone left on my blog a long time back. Miss your comments Unknown.
As we grow old we tend to lose interest in things which earlier meant a lot to us. Interests change, priorities change and some of us tend to become more focused (others like me continue existing in a chaotic mode, aiming for a gazillion goals at once). This post is a form of therapy for me, a kind of an internal review.
Passions Past:
Programming, Gadgets, the Works – I started programming when I was 8 years old. And I wrote code regularly till the age of 21. One of my most enduring friendships is a result of my shared interest in computers with my friend Rahul. I loved the anticipation just before a program was getting compiled. The ‘error free’ status was almost orgasmic. Though I have written code in most of the popular languages, C and Perl will always have a special place in my heart. I fondly remember the good old high school days, the long nights writing thousands of lines of code. I was a nerd and I am proud of it.
But somewhere down the line I got tired of it all. I haven’t done any coding in almost two years. Miss the smooth motion of my fingertips on the keyboard sometimes. 13 years is long enough. Computers were my first love, my first mistress. Maybe I still am a nerd.
Passions in Hibernation
Women! Women!! Women!!! Women!!!!
Need I say anything else?
Quizzing
Enduring Passions:
Writing
Theatre
Films
Reading
Italians
On the Verge of being Passions:
Cooking
Dance
Travelling
Women (I am incorrigible)
Will keep adding to this list and keep it as a reference.
