25 Things You Didn't Know About Me

Most bloggers on the net prepare "20 Things You Didn't Know About Me" trivia. I do believe that twenty is not enough to enumerate those things. It's too short for me. For a change, I will break the rule of this trivia. I will make it to 25 just to satisfy my yearning to outnumber the details. Sounds interesting but I hope you will learn some meaning about my life. I don't consider myself to be "somebody" but I'm trying to be humane in the sense that I want to share what my thoughts and aspirations in life are. To others I may be boring, but to my friends, I may be worthy of a human being. Please consider me your friend as I'm longing to be one.
