blackmagicwoman said she hoped I like answering lot of questions. The truth is, I don't. Unless, of course, such an exercise makes me feel all learned, profound and good about myself. Talking about me does nothing of that sort. So I avoid it. Plus, I like to live in your mind as the bromide you gave birth to all by yourself. I don’t want to actively participate in its creation.

Then, meerasan sent me a note. It said, ‘please.’ That was a forceful argument against not playing this game. I conceded.

Excerpts from My Favourite Poem:

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

             - Ozymandias by P.B.Shelly
