About

Hi, I’m Pravin. Though nobody calls me that. Friends call me by the first vulgar, obscene or blasphemous word they can think of. Enemies do the same. You can tell I’m pretty popular.
Storyteller
It all started with a cloudburst. God had warned me about those. But I hadn’t paid much attention. Besides, I was little then, way too little. I didn’t have much for brains either – for I was just an undivided fetal cell with a jelly like substance within.
So there I was, slithering about with my pseudopodia on a white fluffy cloud when another cell whooshed past me and cried, “Ha! Race you to that mean black cloud there.” Never one to lose a race, I wasn’t going to start now. I stretched out a long pseudopodia and tripped over it and fell on a piece of cloud that turned into rain. And I tumbled down to earth. That’s more or less how I was born. My birth also involved fight with dragons and a foul smelling fish, but that’s another story.
See that there? That’s me. All 148lbs of me. I tell tales, tall ones. Sometimes those tales are interesting and funny. Other times, they don’t seem to make any sense. Either way, I enjoy making up stuff.
Once I made up a whole cheesecake and fed it to my cat. The next day, she gave birth to a litter of tiny kittens.
Musician
I play the flute. I’m not very proud of it but it has gotten me out of at least one embarrassing situation. I can also play the piano to an extent, make sounds on the drum and noise on the guitar. All in all, I am a one man rock band. I plan to release an album someday. I just need help with my tempo. And music.
Poet
Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow
Mary had a little lamb
Till they had mutton for dinner.
Yeah baby! I know I’m good. Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Yeah! Um … I think I should go to my room 
Random Facts
[June 26, 2004]
- I’m interested in languages. I am capable of picking the basics of most languages very quickly. And I can indicate, “I am hungry. Feed Me” in all human languages, except one where it translates to, “I want to run away with your daughter” or “Run old man, or I’ll shave your head” depending on how you gesticulate. Linguistics is very tricky indeed.
- I like chocolates and free food especially when its from a chick. Also welcome are muahs, hugs and stuffed animals.
- I love all animals - as long as they are behind the tv screen. It’s when they come right upto me that I have problems. If they are smaller than me, I stomp on them and squish them. If they are larger, I try throwing objects at them, meaning to hit but meaning to miss them at the same time. Because I really hate cleaning up the mess.
- Which brings us to the next point. I detest labour of any sort. If a small amount of hard labour will save me more labour later, I choose to do the extremely hard bit so that I can laze around.
- I am one lazy slob, period.
More! More! More!

How Pravin Relates to Other People
Sun Conjunct Venus with an orb between 1 and 3 degrees
Most people like you. You form relationships easily but may have some difficulty sustaining them. You tend to project your own ego ideals onto your partner, sometimes at the expense of relating to their needs. For you, admiration is a prerequisite for love.
Sun Conjunct Mars with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees
If you act upon your natural instincts, you are aggressive, sexual and competitive. If you do not, you may be somewhat passive and fearful with a great deal of repressed anger which expresses itself in temper. Your ego needs are exceptionally strong.
Sun Trine Neptune with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees
One of your great strengths is your sensitivity. You tune in easily to the psyches of other people and, while you may not notice the color of their eyes, have an almost eerie understanding of their private inner worlds. Your close ties are very private.

Your Vocabulary Score: A

Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary!
You must be quite an erudite person. -
Your Expression Number is 1
You have the skills to be a top executive or businessperson. But first you must develop your natural capacity to be a good leader. You are truly original - with a creative approach to life and a very sharp mind.
You reach for the sky, and you have the potential to reach it. Assertive and straight forward, you have little need for supervision. You are self-confident, self-reliant, and courageous in your convictions.
While you sometimes fear loneliness, you prefer to be left alone. A bit self centered, you may be hard to life with at times. You also have a strong dominant streak - which can push others away at times.

You didn’t leave a return address, so i’ll just talk back at you on your own website.
I’ll admit, there’s a lot of pink on the webpage, but everything “Omi-bunny” about me is Pink, i mean, just check my little logo at the top of the screen.
The pix were left in my photo album from when i tried the “dating website” scene. Everyone kept asking for “good” pictures of me, so i posted them. I’ll re-arrange them into a “NSFW”/NotSafeForWork folder. But hey, at least you know what i look like now.
Thanks for reading, i really appreciate people taking the time to check out my website.
