Hello people:) Back after a long sabbatical... now this post is reblogged from
nervesandwires as we had to update that blog and I thought Being Me could keep the post alive till I exhaust my pulse or my blog gets hacked and subsequently deleted by someone:)
2 July 2012
Science Block, GCT
Almost a year having hurried in this corridor with the
‘fresher’ tag .The stairs that bore my thumps all day long now play the music
for my entry into the new academic year. Every brick of it welcoming you with
an oxymoron of old-freshness and I rudder a sharp right to the Language Lab…
“May I come in Sir?”
“Come in Gowtham.”
A smiling face rose behind the monitor top, a personality
that every fresher is mistaken for a student in the college, but he is our
own personification of a
‘friend-and-guide’ tag A.V. Sir.
“Sir I need you to spare some time for us.”
“Sure Gowtham” ( Playing with his fingers on the Qwerty)
“Sir, I want to shoot a Proust Questionnaire on you Sir.”
“Me?”
“Yes Sir! Please…”
“Well, Let’s Get started then.”
…. And thus started our first post for PERSONA that you are eager to read on!!!
Mr.J.Anbazhagan Vijay
Asst. Professor of
English and Student’s Club Co-ordinator
1. What is your idea
of happiness?
Lonliness. It makes me pensive. To have an introspective
journey free from anxiety and pressure of all time. I think happiness cannot be
expressed when it is obvious to be expressed.
2.What is your
greatest fear?
A wild imagination of what if my mom goes away once for all
from the earthly life.oooooooz…
3.Which historical
figure do you most identify with?
Napolean for his conviction, Bharathi and Kannadasn for
their spontaneous poetic overflow and the list goes on.
4.Which living figure
do you most admire?
Kiran Bedi, K.J.Jesudos, Ilayaraja, my teachers like
Prof.Benet, and obviously my mom.
5.What is the trait
you most deplore in yourself?
Travelling in a comfort zone always. I never try to
experiment anything I’m not comfortable with.
6.What is the trait
you deplore in others?
Whenever I find a duality in a person which affects the
trust I have on him/her.
7.What do you
consider the most overrated virtue?
When professional ethics conflict with the profession or
professionals. A good example is that a doctor failing to save the life of his patient
on the basis of money. (Sir) No! It
happens.
8.On what occasion do
you lie?
Many. When Naragasuran is on the stage, I have to eulogise
him.
9.What do you dislike
most about your appearance?
I haven’t ever thought of it.
10.Which living
person do you most despise?
No. Not personally. But people after proclaiming that they
have attained celibacy, still enjoying the most luxurious life in the disguise of
religion, MUST BE sentenced to death.
11.Which words or
phrase do you most overuse?
Men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.

greatest regret?
Lavishness.

were you the happiest?
When I took to teaching. It is a different world altogether
– being with the children of varied interests, attitude. It is my LIFE.

present state of mind?
Happy – Busy, as I am always.

time favourites.
20.How would you like
to die?
Oh! Awful… No idea. But I wish no one should bemoan about my
death.
“Thank you so much Sir.”
“Will that help in your blog?”
“Sir ! (Bows)”
Twenty minutes uninterrupted except for the two pleasing
tones of his mobile, it was an experience of having known more about a person
to whom everybody connects so easily. Was it the stream of words carried by
emotions or the spark in his spectacled eye? That made me sit mesmerized
throughout the conversation.
