A new bloke in town

.......And here I walk back into the town that was my home from 2008 to 2011. 2016. The eccentric banker is back.

The Eccentric Banker- this is what I call myself. Why? This should be the bigger question. I have tried looking for answers to this without much success. I have tried  hard to look for answers, but none of the travels gave me a convincing answer.

Self- introspection did reveal some facts about me which stood quite close to "the" answer. Not necessarily in any order though.

1. I am a Banker- Elementary, my dear Watson!
2. I was born when every planet was at the wrong place.
3. I am married. Period!
4. If I had my way free drinking water would have been a fundamental right.
5. I have recently given up on my only indulgence- Single Malt Whisky
6. I am stronger and more resilient than a "punching bag". But if you bring me down, I will make sure I fall at your feet breaking your toes. Gravity will then make sure we are on the same level.....again!
7. I am scared of house spiders, hornets and pencil heels.
8. One morning I woke up and found Ulrike Meinhof in my bed. After breakfast, I read Freud's "The Interpretation of dreams".
9. My best friend is called Harry Podo. Well, he refuses to be addressed as Haripada.
10. Idlis dipped in piping hot Sambar. I survive on it.


Starting this moment, you will find me ranting out words from time to time. But, I come with a Caveat. "What I write on blogger, stays on blogger". So does every oddball and screwball that I refer to. Chill! I am eccentric, and this eccentricity definitely comes with some amount of entertainment.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
