Sachin Arya's 37th Birthday Reading List

@btwnthepines asked a question

Well, that question seems a bit targeted, wouldn't you say? Are people saying I have a superiority-complex? Personally, I'd say neither.

In the past I might have said I am a private person, but those who know me would likely disagree. They'd probably say I've never been private a day in my life. I'm far too curious to let things around me stay private and I'm an open book if someone wants to get to know me. But I wouldn't say I'm prone to TMI, either. A comfortable middle ground sounds right.

33: Concept of home and family? (for odette)

🎧 (for sachin)

There's a time and place for everything, I think. Including wasting time doin nothing! Sometimes you just gotta...like, you need to waste time doing nothing or something "stupid" so you can reset and get back to what you've gotta do. My favorite ways to waste time... doom scrolling? Falling down a rabbit hole on Youtube. Staring into space and contemplating my entire life. Sending cryptic texts to all my friends and then acting like I don't know what they're talking about when they ask me about it later. You know, the usual kinda stuff!

To me, home is wherever you're most comfortable. So, my actual home. I've done everything I can to make it my sanctuary. As for family... the pretty standard definition. My mom, my dad. A few aunts and uncles, some cousins. The ones you turn to when you need someone.

What was the first book you remember reading as a kid?

The first book that I can remember reading is Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel, I was 5 years old, I believe. A classic, everyone should read it at least once in their lives.

He can speak multiple languages (in order of proficiency) - English, German/Swiss German, French, Gujarati and some Hindi

A full English breakfast is easily his favorite thing to eat

He has a collection of watches, the first one being the watch his grandfather wore for decades. Not all of them are expensive watches, but most of them are. His parents typically buy him one each Christmas

He sometimes writes five minute poems at the farmers market for tourist

He was Vice President of his senior class

He is physically incapable of taking naps in the middle of the day, he can’t get his brain to turn off when the sun is still out and he’s also an early riser because once the sun is coming through the windows his brain says I’m awake!

His favorite color is a dark purple like a plum color

There is a popular R&B song that mentions The Quests of Amrik as one of the lyrics and it's one of the coolest things that has happened to him
