The 25 Random Things about me meme has been circulating for a few weeks now. I've been tagged by a few people, including twice by my colleague Rima Kar, a reporter at OMNI South Asian News. While this meme is to some extent a Facebook phenomenon, I no longer write content on Facebook due to the fact that they do not pay me enough for the rights they claim on all content uploaded to their site. I'm also not going to tag anyone else as I'm not into peer based coercion, but rather if this post inspires you to do the same, tag me back in reverse.
