F.A.Q.
- Why is the name of your blog “You Looked”?
- What do you mean by the word puppy? I find it written in some/many of your articles and it seems to make no logical sense. Also, what is \puppy?
- I noticed your email ID is neotaruntius. What or who is taruntius? What’s neotaruntius? Did you misspell Tarun-in-us? What? Why? How?
- Some of your articles are preachy, others boring and philosophical. Most articles are not funny at all (you try very hard but fail miserably) and yet others are completely pathetic. Why did you choose us for this torture?
- I liked your article. Am I the first one to compliment it?
- These FAQs appear totally fake. You made them up, didn’t you?
A few days before publishing this blog, I noticed one of my friends was wearing this T-shirt. On the back of his shirt was the caption “You looked” right next to a catchy picture. The idea was that the onlooker had to admit that the T-shirt was good enough to make him look. The name was fresh in my mind, and I thought it would be a good name for a blog.
I’m a F.R.I.E.N.D.S fanatic, and in a certain episode 9-11 (Season 9, Episode 11… don’t ask me why I felt the need to clarify), Joey has to narrate something to his friend Phoebe. In order to not offend her, he replaces an offensive word with the word puppy in the complete sentence. In my articles, if you ever find the word puppy (very rarely), replace it with your favorite offensive word. However, if instead of puppy, I write \puppy, that would mean I actually intended to write puppy. The reasons for this would be best understood by my Computer Engineering friends.
I like to have interesting usernames and not your usual james007 or bond007 etcetera (Though I would have jumped on it, if one was available). Thus along came neotaruntius. It is the concatenation of two words -neo and taruntius. Taruntius is the name of a crater on the moon. The fact that its got my first name, Tarun in it makes this void on the moon special to me. Whenever, I tell people about the concept of my username, I joke that I have already made my mark on the moon. I dont know why I think its a joke. :|
The word Neo behind taruntius, is just an obvious borrowing from the movie “The Matrix” (my all time favorite). I don’t think I need to explain now, as to how prefixing the word neo to taruntius ends up becoming my perfect net alias. :)
Criticism is highly encouraged. Use the comments section to vent out your anger and prevent others from reading that article. While criticising use decent words. If you cannot stop yourself from using the bad words, replace them with the word puppy. I’ll get the idea. But be elaborate in your criticism.
You might also be the first one to have read it completely. People tell me that my articles make for good sleeping pills. Ranbaxy is considering sueing me because I have eaten into their profits. Their sleeping pills sales have dropped ever since this blog came out.
Yes. But trust me, this last question is actually a FAQ.
